2011 Tour of Qinghai Lake (2.HC) 1st July - 10th July

[TeoSheva]

I just saw from TV that Boris Shpilevski won Huzhu Circuit Race(it's called as warm-up stage,not the stage 1)

so, is it not valid for the GC?

 

[macnir]

yes exactly.

 

[Tuarts]

They didn't really call it anything on the website, just looks as if its added there.

Thanks for the info macnir, Tabriz 1/1.

I wouldnt call Sohrabi just a sprinter, at least for asian races.

he's also strong in itt and pretty allround but no climber. he's 170 and 71 kg

Man, Piechele again didnt start or finish? Does someone have any info on him why he didnt race a single race yet this year? I guess he is injured but I cant find anything about him, and my italian is not so good.

Did i write climber anywhere?

no I just added to your info

the hard stage wasn't a long break. maybe the first 4 were in a long break I haven't found out yet but teh guys behind were selected on the climb as can be seen by the names. best climbers were in first group

Banning race radios. Short sighted.
