Anything but DNS will...

Any live streams? Ticker?

The Legend is back. Finally cycling starts sparkling witha renewed vigor.

 

[auscyclefan94]

GVA pulled out. He is ill but will race in Paris Tours.

 

[RedheadDane]

Anything but DNS will...

Even DNF?

 

[screaming fist]

Right now, it's a big thing even to start some races this season (in regards to 2013).

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah... I think I know what you mean:

"Andy Schleck will make his comeback in X-race.
Or... not!"

 

[Der Effe]

Even DNF?

DNF it is

Andy Schleck abandona la #binchetournaibinche (via @RTLlu). No llegó el luxemburgués a completar la carrera en su reaparición.

He's running out of time if he wants to finish a race this year.

Wow,surprise!

2. Petit
3. Degenkolb

Even DNF?

DNS is worst than a DNF, if he didn't even start than he would be moving backwards, at least this way we know he remains at the same level he was in the early part of the season.

He's running out of time if he wants to finish a race this year.

I'd say it's unlikely that he will finish a race at all this season, just call it a lost year and try to get ready for 2013.

Adam Blythe wins

Great win by Blythe, if I recall correctly I believe it was his birthday yesterday as well.

CQ says he finished those already:

22/04/2012 1.WT1 50 Liège - Bastogne - Liège 5
18/04/2012 1.WT2 81 Flèche Wallonne 5
15/04/2012 1.WT2 91 Amstel Gold Race 5
19/02/2012 2.HC 32 Tour of Oman 5

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Roelandts broke his collarbone in a crash today.

 

[Unkown]

Average speed before they got to the circuit was 48 km/h, surprised Andy survived that long. Going to be a long road of recovery back to the top for him.

bmc winning alot more this year finally even spread of wins from the team considering huge budget.

I meant unlikely he would finish any more upcoming races this season. But on second thought he might have a chance of finishing Beijing, if he does compete there but can't finish then I will lose all hope of seeing a 2010/2011 Andy again .

 

[auscyclefan94]

Great win by Blythe, clever attack.
