[theyoungest]

why is Van Hummel riding in white?

He's the current leader in the UCI Europe Tour (I think).

edit: I mean the Asia Tour, obviously.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

why is Van Hummel riding in white?

Van Hummel looks even more happy than Kittel

 

[L'arriviste]

Van Hummel looks even more happy than Kittel

And perhaps a little heavy, but he'll soon shift that as the season progresses. He's a very expressive fellow though - we often see a lot of expression on his face in photos.

 

[TRDean]

Thanks for the van Hummel collage! It is fantastic...I do believe he was just as happy for Kittel...Koen de Kort was pretty psyched for the young rider as well!!

 

[Jamsque]

It is impossible not to love KRvH

 

[Faserr]

Well, he fighted harder for staying in the Tour then Contador did for winning it

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

A japanese climber? Now I HAVE seen everything.

 

[janraaskalt]

Solid performance of the Chipotle Slipstream Garmin Cervelo Sugar Labs u23 development team! Five of their riders within 1 minute of the winner.

 

[roundabout]

Will be interesting to see how Bonnin does tomorrow.

 

[taiwan]

A japanese climber? Now I HAVE seen everything.

[Ferminal]

That's great.

I just looked him up... suspended in 2007 but still made a comeback in 2009 as a 41 year old. He must love it.

ayabe with perfect punch over nino

Nino went too early, Ayabe timed his sprint to perfection.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

That's great.

Cameron Highlands isn't all that hard, comparable to Montevergine in the Giro, a puncheurs climb.

Genting is another kettle of fish altogether, you'll only see proper climbers at the top tomorrow.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

what time gmt??

is there a livestream?? there was last night right??

genting is for the real climbers. only nino, sella, pozzovivo and sella make a chance now and maybe.... zargari
