Good call.

So do we have a nickname for Degenkolb? We have several for Galimzyanov (Ghengis, The Cossack). We need one for the Deg Man.

Gali boy

what about Die Deutsche Blitz ?

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

"Degen" means sword, surely you can do something with that. The Swordsman?

I hear Degenkolb wanted to be a policeman.

 

[Wanabanko]

Nice win for Degenkolb with a powerful sprint in the end.

Don't mention the war!

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Don't mention the war!

I did, but I think I got away with it.

A Braun Cocktail for the lady ?

Some interesting racing over night I hear! No damage done. What was the largest gap between the split?

6 secs I think

 

[auscyclefan94]

Hoperfully cadel and BMC have learnt their lesson from today and will be cautious going into the Cap Frehel stage at le tour as that could really split the field.

The gap was at 25 seconds for quite a few KM's.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Don't mention the war!

How's using the wrong article mentioning the war?

 

[Ferminal]

the point being that they thought Degenkolb couldn't handle such a finish AT ALL.

Yes because we all know everything about Degenkolb as he's been on the scene for years, doing a variety of finishes against the best all live on television.

Mine was a genuine query, not a presumption that he was not good enough.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

I hear Degenkolb wanted to be a policeman.

Degenkolb IS a policeman.

 

[greenedge]

I hope Degenkolb can race the Vuelta this yr. Nice work. Love how everyone hyped up Gesink ( 2:29 ) and Martin ( 10:31 ). Gesink i can understand, finetuning for the TDF but Martin said he wanted to prove he had climbing legs.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

had the wc road race course been a year or two later I'd rate him and matthews a great chance.

You just answered your question yourself.

If some enduranceless, climbing worse than quaranta, sprinter can beat Cavendish, then...all hope is lost for Hagen!thanks for taking the bait tho

I assume you missed (or skipped over?) the part where he flatted and blew up his rear wheel, when making your assessment...

EBH hit a hole in the road with 15k to go. Got a flat front tire and a busted rear wheel.
