Decent track rider by the looks of it. See link...

[stefrees]

[stefrees]

tony martin 3rd, 7 secs off lead.

Looks like it could be a Loftvist, Rogers showdown..

 

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

Don't forget Gustav Larsson though Dim

[Big GMaC]

Rasmussen has a solid sprint as well at the TT, was 3rd on St. 2 Big 6 Days Madsion rider no?

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

Good ride by Gerdeman with 13:37.

Yeah, I spoke too soon!!!!! Damn you Gustav!!

Decent rides by Henderson and Cummings for Sky don't you think?

definitely by henderson, solid by cummings should cement himself as top15 overall id have thought, that would be a good result for him.

I think Cummings is looking pretty solid early on in the season, bodes well for him for March/April

Either Lofkvist has got lost, or been very slow..

 

[stefrees]

lofkvists time doesnt seem to have registered, mollema 1346

 

[stefrees]

rogers 4th, heading into the gc lead i presume

 

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

Can only assume he's way outside the top 10 which would be a surprise. Rogers has finished with 13'11 to go into 4th. Is that the ride that puts him at the top of the GC?

 

[joy118118]

Rasmussen wins.

 

[stefrees]

all over, great win for rasmussen, first on the road judging by wiki (and my quick glance down may have missed something).

solids results for wiggo, tony martin, voigt, great effort by rogers.

where the hell is lofkvist?

Rasmussen has a solid sprint as well at the TT, was 3rd on St. 2 Big 6 Days Madsion rider no?

He's partnered with Michael Mørkøv in the probably best 6-day paring in the world right now. Reigning Madison World Champions to.

all over, great win for rasmussen, first on the road judging by wiki (and my quick glance down may have missed something).

He won several stages of the Tour of Qinghai Lake in 2008, and the Danish RR Championship in 2007.

That means Löfkvist probably finished around 20th place on the stage. A little further down than expected perhaps but if he in fact has mostly trained climbing this winter then his TTing will probably take a slight hit.

Too early in the season to tell though...

 

[theyoungest]

Surprisingly good time trial by Mollema.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Rogers will win the overall... is the final stage descisive?

Alex R?

Nope. I know of Danish nation rr champ, 2008 Qinghai prologue, plus I think he won field sprints there, and he won a field sprint v Cavendish in Tour of Berlin circa 2006.

Now, they are just by my memory. He will have won more. But the 2007 National rr champs, that must be considered a bonafide pro rr, and not just a neo. And Qinghai has dropped off depth in recent years, but he did go and kick a$$ with the track team that Salzwedal had humming.

edit: pretty sure he won the 20km chrono in Berlin, and Cav was second. Ed Clancy was about top 10, and won a field sprint that Rund.
