Does this make me a nerd that I have been watching the full coverage and yet.. I don't understand the language and I don't know 90% of the riders?

Nah, it just means you need to get a life.

How is being a cycling fan nerdy? I consider that awesome. Not knowing 90% of the riders is pretty lame though. Not understanding any French is ok

He has a life. But only 10% of it is fulfilled.

Shows how much I know, I thought LaFleur was a female poster. My bad. Agree on the 10% bit though.

The link isnt working for me

Boomcie must think he has some psychic skills :O ok, maybe overchecking the start list, I might know about 25%, does it mean 25% of my life is fulfilled?

Ha! Could well be a female poster, given the gender of the word fleur, but he doesn't understand any French so I guess he doesn't know about that.

That's my theory at least

Theoretically, yes. In practice, probably not.

Bennati
Napolitano
Kristoff

I guess TGAK screwed up, but he has stronger competition. how was his new jersey.

 

[goggalor]

Easy win for Bennati, perfect leadout. Really good positioning by Kristoff for once. He was on his own from at least 3 km to go, and also a lot further down at that point.

 

[LaFleur]

Looks like watching Bennati and Leopard in the Wallonie tour is the same as watching Cav and HTC in the TDF by this stage anyway..

Easy win for Bennati, perfect leadout. Really good positioning by Kristoff for once. He was on his own the last 3 km.

BMC should have helped him with a train with the likes of murphy and phinney. They are probably all working for GVA.

 

[TeoSheva]

any top10? or at least top5?

EDIT:

1. Bennati (LEO)
2. Napolitano (ASA)
3. Kristoff (BMC)
4. Henderson (SKY)
5. Vandoesselaere (OLO)

They were on the front with the whole train when I tuned in at 20 to go. Got Kristoff in an OK position then left it to the sprinters teams at maybe 5 to go.

Well first he had a horrible position but Hutarovich helped him up to the front (unintentionally obviously). Bennati, Napolitano and Kristoff looked more or less to be equally fast so the one with the best position won. The jersey looked ok I guess, hard to see, but they haven't bothered to find him a matching helmet or anything.

 

[jens_attacks]

sad to see mcewen in great position as always but without any engine

 

[TeoSheva]

the official ticker says this

1. Daniele Bennati (Léopard - Trek)
2. Danilo Napolitano (Acqua e Sapone)
3. Alexander Kristoff (BMC)
4. Greg Henderson (Sky)
5. Greg Van Avermaet (BMC)
6. Koen De Kort (Skil Shimano)
7. Michal Golas (Vacansoleil)
8. Arnaud Labbe (Cofidis)
9. Nikolay Trusov (Katusha)
10. Jonas Van Genechten (Wallonie - Bruxelles)

TGAK has quite a good sprint but he has to work on his positioning and he doesnt have a big engine.
