2011 63. Internationale Österreich Rundfahrt (2.HC) 3rd - 10th July

[auscyclefan94]

Looks like Kessiakoff will win overall gc. He can do a decent time trial and Santambrogio won't take any time on him there. Another 2nd for Santambrogio it seems

 

[greenedge]

Pity santambrogio is not at the TDF in mountains. Geniez is a great talent and will hopefully go well at Vuelta ( if chosen )

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

First pro win for Stannard today.

1. Stannard/SKY
2. Smukulis/THR
3. Denifl/LEO
4. Rast/RSH
5. Eijssen/BMC + 8

Win from a breakaway?

Win from a breakaway?

Yes. They never had much more than 4 minutes and the field seems to have miscalculated.

 

[hrotha]

Oh, Denifl sighting. Look at that.

 

[fourmi]

Does that mean Stannard is now the 5th Brit to qualify for the World Champs?

Van Avermaet wins

Yea! he bloody deserves it after attacking like mad for the whole year. finally got a win good on him! he might win the points competition too. BMC doing well in july! I was thinking about how great it would be if GVA wins before i clicked on this thread but thought it would be unlikely as he is not such a great sprinter anymore. but great ride!

oops sorry. thought it was a flat stage so i thought it would be a bunch sprint. so the break got away on the last hill or at the start.

in the break there was also Wagner: I think Leopard did wrong to bet on Bennati and not on Wagner!
