What is going on right now?

Nothing.
The first race was yesterday, the second is tomorrow

A bit surprising that Sky sent their guys up here only 2 days ago. That's not enough to get rid of the jet-lag. The long flight combined with said jet-lag probably caused EBH's very sensitive stomach to go wrong again.

He'll be fine for Montreal, though. His form is great as long as the stomach works. He's been absolutely flying in training lately and is actually in much better shape than Nordhaug who was fairly strong yesterday too.

Curious, did you read that somewhere or do you somehow have access to inside information regarding EBH's training? Always great to know if some of the members here know more about certain riders than what the media tells.

i'd like to know that too, does he know his wattage?
otherwise how does he know if he is going that fast...

A friend of me, who's a continental rider, trains with them once in a while.

Thanks, excellent.

And Falken too (though pipped in the sprint)

 

[Parrulo]

Costa will have to attack the main climb pretty hard if he wants to cause a selection of strong enough guys to make it to the finish but slow enough that he can outsprint them.

as in getting the likes of voeckler but no sagan and EBH

 

[cineteq]

One of these riders should win, IMO.

Sagan
EBH
GVA
Costa
LL Sanchez
Albasini
Gerrans

Orica Green Edge two men short ( and one short at the Tour of Britain ). Is it Christmas or something in Australia?

O'Grady/Impey injured, Meyer/Durbridge/Tuft/Langeveld/Mouris TTT training. Think only Vaitkus is available but not racing.

Hesjedal was 3rd in 2010. Europcar will probably make it hard to increase Voecklers chances. Curious to see if Moser is in better shape today.

 

[Wigwan]

I hope Barry can do well in his farewell race.

Hesjedal is in sucky form, he was horrible in Quebec.

Also, LL Sanchez is also not in form, don't expect him too.

If my memory serves me right, this is a tougher course than Quebec.
I think this will be too tough for Sagan.
More for the likes of Voeckler, Rui Costa.

By the way does any links to a race profile?

Sagan was 2nd after Gesink 2010!

But I guess it will depend on how hard the race will be today.
