(2.Ncup) Tour de l'Avenir - 18/08 - 27/08

[DNP-Old]

Peloton has no organisation whatsoever.

 

[Samamba]

Belgium, US and Australia have f*cked up big time.

 

[yaco]

Sivakov and Bernal in a break with 4 minutes on a flat stage is like Froome and Nibali having the same in stage 2 of the upcoming Vuelta - Under 23's is a different world.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Who's the better sprinter in that elite break?

 

[Arredondo]

Incredible start of this year's L'Avenir!

Good for the race though the two biggest favorites are in the break together.

Re:

Madouas should be the fastest, with Eenkhoorn second-best.

 

[fauniera]

Down to 2 minutes.

 

[motty89]

Fabbro punctured with 24k to go!

 

[Alexandre B.]

Nordic countries dominating.

 

[Krokro]

Enjoying those u23 racing more and more haha. Pretty scarry having both favorites contenders in the first stage break. Might be good for the GC suspens at the end of the day, they might have wasted more energy and gained no time whatsoever. Can't wait for the following stages!

 

[Escarabajo]

I just saw the results. So their effort was for nothing?

No wonder why WT riders don't do this silly things even though forum members love it. And in the WT the chances of succeeding are even less.

 

[Scarponi]

Those two Moroccan guys finishing 27 minutes down :redface:

 

[DNP-Old]

Jakobsen wins in front of Hodeg.

 

[Akuryo]

Re:

And both will ride for Quickstep soon

 

[DNP-Old]

Halvorsen takes stage 3, Hodeg 2nd again.

 

[May0maniac]

Conci DNS because of crashing yesterday.

 

[DNP-Old]

Lawless (UK) wins.

 

[Samamba]

Not even highlights of the non televised stages?

 

[Escarabajo]

Whoever came up with this design!
Lol.

Thanks, not that I'm that interested in these flat stages, but I just hope there gonna be highlights of Fridays stage.

Nice win for Lawless a late attack, interesting to see what sort of rider he will be, seems stronger than a pure sprinter from performances I have seen from him in the British nationals

 

[DNP-Old]

Any idea how well Patrick Gamper (Austria), Ilya Volkau and Vasili Strokov (Belarus) can climb? They have an advantage of 5 minutes with a kilometer to go.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

They can't, that's why they were allowed this advantage.

Re:

It's U23 racing, it isn't unthinkable they miscalculated themselves.
