2012 Post Danmark Rundt (2.HC) 22nd - 26th August

I love the knife and fork symbol. What's on the menu? Sol over Gudehjem? Stegt flæsk med persillesovs?

 

[Pharazon]

40kmh crosswinds today apparently...

could be echelon city

 

[rickshaw]

now why didn't I think of that?

It's a bit funny that the sprinting lineup here is ridiculously much stronger than at the Vuelta.

Think it could have anything to do with the 10 summit finishes in Spain, that start during the beginning stages of the race? I heard the fast twitch guys are very susceptible to altitude sickness.

Question: Is there a "King of the Mountains" category in Denmark? All I saw on the race profile were speed bumps.

Yup. And rødgrød med fløde. Obviously, that's not very practical to eat without a spoon.

There is something similar, but at least the race organisation's been realistic and called it a hill competition. A speed bump competition would've been just as appropriate though.

 

[ciranda]

Each year those hills create differences that decide the race. Shrug.

[Geraint Too Fast]

Nordhaug won.

 

[kanari]

Nordhaug won.

Nordhaug
Kelderman
Schumacher

Rabobank 1-2

 

[maltiv]

Nordhaug wins!

A shame he wasn't selected for any GT this year, he's clearly more than good enough.

 

[roundabout]

Wilco second. And a TT to come.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Nordhaug
Kelderman
Schumacher

Kelderman looking good for the overall.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Results changed a bit. Navadauskas now 3rd, Schumacher 4th.

 

[kanari]

Kelderman looking good for the overall.

He sure does. Navardauskas was 3rd apparently, Schumacher 4th.

 

[Pharazon]

Nordhaug wins!

A shame he wasn't selected for any GT this year, he's clearly more than good enough.

well, next year he gets to fail for rabobank

 

[classicomano]

Woohoo lets go Wilco!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

well, next year he gets to fail for rabobank

Did rabobank repossess your home or something.

 

[maltiv]

Looks like the time gaps were quite small (or none at all). So Nordhaug probably has no chance for the GC with great TT'ers like Kelderman and Schumacher right behind him.

 

[Justin Pain]

Any time gaps in top 5?

 

[Justin Pain]

Maybe Julich have improved Nordhaugs TT legs?
