Probably belongs in track, but seems appropriate seeing the last posts and that he will most certainly be a road rider in the future: Mikkel Bjerg (18 yo !), new official danish record for one hour: 52.311 ! That is faster than Obree first (praying mantis) plus Boardmans first, Let us see in...

Well, I can't predict weather or cycling but so impressive from August Jensen to beat a top form WT rider. He's going to Israeli next year isn't he? Giro 18 next then!

Im on km40 and they are riding into stormy conditions. Weather will be issue. Might be chance for echelons if the direction is good later on. Will be a hard day.

Re: Re: What do anyone of you mean, should be a thread of its own.

Re: Too early, GvA goes with 8k

Boring? From the outset this was 200 guys to the finish. Gigs didn't watch I guess. I hope for Tommeke or EBH, probably Sagan as he looks pretty surprising good for going there 2 days ago. Korsaaet ftw, is there any other conti riders left? This is just amazing from him..

Re: Re: That's nice. I really hope that logic stops with you, because what you are effectively saying are that if you have a strong(expensive) team, then the differences should always be even higher what with an TTT thrown in for good measure. I think you take the "there's not an 'I' in team"...

Spoiler: I have a positive take on Doha: I have to say honestly, if it wasn't for WC Doha this year I'm not sure I would pay any attention to these races. I mean I should always have - I see that now, but if wasn't for Kittel being in this race, would it be broadcast etc.etc. Normally I follow...

I meant Gaviria-wise, I didn't mean to take away anything else, poor choice of words.

Just saw the last 30k on eurosport. Gaviria was in like 10 breaks, kittel didn't pull out until 20k so this sprint means nothing. Korsaeth was amazing today, in all the breaks like gaviria, solo from 7- 8k or so and held off the bunch chasing the sprint until 150meter. Strongest by far in this...

Norway seniors according to procycling.no Alexander Kristoff (KAT) Edvald Boasson Hagen (DD) Sondre Holst Enger (IAM) Sven Erik Bystrøm (KAT) Vegard Breen (Fortuneo) Vegard Stake Laengen (IAM) Daniel Hoelgaard (FDJ) Kristoffer Skjerping (CAN) Truls Engen Korsæth. (Joker) For TT I would guess...

Sorry, only watched the finish. Probably he attacked further out too, but I don't know.

That sure was one great debut GT anyways, two wins and superstrong dom in all terrains :) Poor guy, gets his own hypethread and here we go crazy on last name semantics! Interesting topic though
