Re: What do you mean, he didn't do anything to draw attention to himself? He actually did, trying to assassinate Thomas so he could get higher in the GC. On first glance, this would appear to be a very ninja-like thing to do. But a real ninja would have succeeded in such attempt. And, more...

Very weird stage. Favourites as Vervaeke (even after he let the Belgian team work), Chevrier, Foliforov and Rivera couldn't keep up the pace, while Fernandez got almost 2 minutes after attacking on the last climb, at 9 km. I agree with roundabout that he utterly crushed them.

Optum has a new guy, Ryan Anderson, who did a very good job a few weeks ago: only Viviani was faster than him. My guess is that he will be their sprinter. In Utah, they also preferred Young over Hanson.

This is nice to see, Radioshack has an actual national jersey. I only have screenshots from a Sporza video, so please forgive me for the quality of the pictures.

I haven't thought of that. That jersey will be very, very ugly. Lose Stijn, Lose! Don't become champion :(

It's 2013 indeed, and Devolder came back from the dead earlier this year. I don't think he's going to lose more than a minute here.

Kassel, as a word, did exist, and was used for castles. However, it's a very old word and you'll not find it in a modern dictionary. It's still used in some names like the French village Cassel (on top of the Kasselberg). But indeed, it's "kasseistrook". But we Belgians (I don't know about the...

Those cobble sections won't be much of a problem I'm afraid. They are quite short and well-maintained, and the last one is at 30 km from the finish. Don't expect them to be a decisive factor in this race. Despite this, it will not be as easy as the flat profile says (despite the fact that they...

I think it's going to be the same as last year: Vuelta and then the WC, and then some of the Italian classics. Better for him then the Tour. If he's good or bad, that doesn't matter. If there is a wheel to suck, you now where to find him. He probably panicked when Gilbert went on the St...

Read this, Gilbert is one of those riders.

Some delayed road works if I'm correct. Next year, it will be back.

Great win by Kreuziger, he deserved it. Though, I'm curious what would've happened if Purito didn't fell. There were some Katusha guys left, and maybe closed the gap if he was still there - after all, they were helping the chase before the incident. But hope his contusions won't stop him from...

Yes indeed, that's when he said that he would ride 2-3 years in the U23 categories.

After looking only for a few seconds, I already loved this thread. Even while I live in Belgium, everybody is always about our lagers, most of which are terrible like Jupiler (heretics, daring to even speak about those unnameable things in the presence of the Holy Trappist Ales). But I'm glad...

Before the start of the season, he already said that he would stay in the U23 category for 2 or 3 years. But I can imagine why he's on the wishing list for quite a few teams. It's only his first year and already won two races, and that's without counting the Bay Classics.
