EBH with eighth best time on the final climb today - looking good for Sunday!

Re: Re: EBH went down hard, but doesn't look injured except for a few bruises. Hopefully he is pissed off tomorrow ;)

EBH is another rider with a contract that expires after this season. Being one of the leaders of a smaller team suits him well - makes sense to stay with Dimension Data, especially if they can bring in 1-2 riders to support him in the classics.

Re: Re: I haven't seen them on a scale, but I'd say he is around the same weight as Matthews, maybe 1-2 kgs heavier. Wikipedia seems to agree.

EBH is doing Amstel, not sure what he can do - but he is clearly in good shape, and has done well on Cauberg before (WC). An outsider.

Very poor leadout from Katusha today - Kristoff was in a terrible position when the sprint started, They really need to improve before July.

Interesting comment from Kristoff's coach after watching the womens sprint - strong wind from the right before the finish, going to the right may have been a bad choice by Emma.

Regarding EBH's salary. EBH signed his contract with Sky in 2011 after winning two stages in the TdF, Vattenfall Cyclassics and the Eneco Tour including one stage win. His market was quite high at the time - as opposed to now. So probably closer to 2 million than 300k I would guess.

No, not even close :-)

There was a time when he won races... Generally before Sky changed his coach in 2012 :)

The final climb on stage 3 is 7km at 5 %, but with several steeper sections. Good climb for Nordhaug to win in Norway ;)

EBH confirms to procycling.no that he is leaving Team Sky, he is currently in talks with five-six teams. He wants a change of environment and more opportunities to ride for his own chances. No big surprises really.

With 22 kms to go, Hushovd is alone in front. He has 20 seconds on Kristoff, EBH, Bystrøm, Breen and Holst Enger. By the way, this is Hushovds hometown - and Holst Enger rides for Team Plussbank, sponsored by Hushovd.

Hushovd attacking with 25 kms to go.

Norway: EBH, Hushovd, Vegard Breen and Sven Erik Bystrøm bridging.
