Vlasov:"I had a pain in my back today from yesterday's crash. It was tough for me, especially in the last part of the race. I tried not to lose too much time. A bad day for me but I hope to recover now quickly." https://www.radsport-news.com/sport/sportnews_130560.htm

I like his balance in the overall package as a rider: good at time trials, very good climber, in addition he can stood out in one-day races, which I personally always like and he has decent explosiveness and sprinting ability. Of course you have to wait for the long climbs with the corresponding...

Bora-hansgrohe announces the extension of the contracts of Kämna, Zwiehoff and Gamper "beyond 2023", which apparently means at least until 2024. https://www.bora-hansgrohe.com/en/news/argonnews202206verlaengerungen/argonnews202206verlaengerungen/657123243

And Marco Haller as well for three years who was strong during the flat classics this year (and will strengthens Bora's austrian squad as well^^). With Haller and van Poppel Bora is showing their interest in the spring cobbel classics as replecement for the team Sagan, which I like.

With Jai Hindley, Sergio Higuita and Marco Haller, Ralph Denk's team is strengthening itself on different fronts, thereby also initiating strategic changes. All riders will be under contract with BORA - hansgrohe for at least the next three years...

Schachmann attacking and he is gone. Koch suffering now.

Koch is kinda fast, I guess. This could be an interesting showdown with him and Schachmann now in front.

This link shows various livestream offers from the german national championships: https://www.brezelrace.de/rad-dm-im-tv/ Most of them are probably geo blocked. But the SWR also seems to be broadcasting via a YouTube channel, so that there is perhaps a chance for all interested parties here...

I see what you are talking about. There are not that many difficult mountain stages. Kelderman can also ride alone with the favorites until he can no longer. Maybe Buchmann can support Kelderman a bit like Konrad and go for a stage another day. Imagine Buchmann in the mountain jersey for some...

I guess this one: https://wdrmedien-a.akamaihd.net/medp/podcast/weltweit/fsk0/245/2454403/tourfunk_2021-06-09_tourfunkteamchefralphdenkueberbuchmannsaganunddietour_ard.mp3

Ja, that's kinda what "Radio Lefevre" commented on the case Sagan_to_ DQS today as well. According to him, Sagan's manager would have only been willing to take Sagan + 8 with him if it would have matched a supplement with DQS. However, another team was apparently ready to take them all (Sagan +...

"About 60 kilometers from the finish, Uijtdebroeks had started his big race to catch up at the front of the field and in the mountainous part of the race first made up the 2:30 minutes behind the breakaway and then 30 kilometers from the finish with teammate Lührs his last companion at the...

Good news: new contract for Kämna. Bad news: an infection from mid-April is persistent, so that it is very likely that Kämna will not be able to start the Tour. https://www.bora-hansgrohe.com/en/news/argonnews202105kaemna/argonnews202105kaemna/539091352 Konrad and Schelling as Kelderman's...

Great by Bettiol, he really looked like the strongest in the break and he worked a lot. :kissingheart:

Well, Martinez embodies a certain habit, isn't he? As a strong domestique, he also rode meters ahead of Sivakov at this year TotA as he did today at Bernal to accelerate the pace. It doesn't have to be a bad thing. He shows the whole world (and his team bosses) that he himself has claims after...
