The Condor of Varsseveld.

It's not like Varsseveld is an impossible name. I mean it's nothing like Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch

or
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu

and certainly not
Krungthepmahanakonbowornratanakosinmahintarayudyayamahadiloponoparatanarajthaniburiromudomrajniwesmahasatarnamornpimarnavatarsatitsakattiyavisanukamphrasit

Imagine we get a great Thai climber from that city... 'Here's the Falcon from Krungthepmahanakonbowornratanakosinmahintarayudyayamahadiloponoparatanarajthaniburiromudomrajniwesmahasatarnamornpimarnavatarsatitsakattiyavisanukamphrasit... a real killer!

Its not that I cant pronounce it, just that I couldnt remember. I knew it was vaselic or something like that

But seriously, the nickname came from you just thinking it up?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No no. The nickname was thought up by someone else and already used a bit. But it was definately not commonly known. Until I put it on wikipedia and Renaat started using it.

It's a shame you didnt slide in something you made up yourself. It could of been you moment of fame and imagine how great it would be everytime you were watching the race and it was mentioned.

 

[AntonioRossi]

rabobank continuing their streak of crappy sprint results

 

[theyoungest]

Last 5 k today

 

[Sophistic]

that looks like 500m@9% before the finish, should be hard enough for Gilbert.

 

[Kvinto]

that looks like 500m@9% before the finish, should be hard enough for Gilbert.

he doesn't ride

 

[Sophistic]

oops, so well then...eh.. .Purito.

 

[wirral]

he doesn't ride

But a Senor Rodriguez does.

 

[theyoungest]

Sagan, of course. Maybe even Greipel.

 

[Fidolix]

I think Fuglsang got something to prove before the Giro, He´ll be up there for the podium.
Nibi for the win.

 

[Kvinto]

imo Sagan vs Goss. i think it's too short for Purito

 

[Kwibus]

imo Sagan vs Goss. i think it's too short for Purito

Indeed, unless it was 500m at 20%.

Looks like a sprint for a strong man. Sagan most likely, but Greipel or Boonen might be up there as well.
Oh what about Goss? I almost forgot him since he's been anonymous this year so far, but this looks like a finish that suits him. If he doesn't show his face this time it's really time we start to wonder what the hell he is doing.

 

[Kwibus]

I think Fuglsang got something to prove before the Giro, He´ll be up there for the podium.
Nibi for the win.

I'd be very very surprised if Fuglsang finishes top10 today. Not sure why you expect any result from his today. Maybe on the green mountain, but not today.

 

[TeoSheva]

Ballan can try something too

 

[Boardslide]

12k done and 4 riders establishing a break Lidewijck (BMC), Caccia (F Vini), Boucher (FDJ) + 1 other

 

[Boardslide]

The 4 leaders now have 1.20 on the peloton, the other rider is Kohler (BMC) together with team mate Lodewijk

 

[Boardslide]

1st sprint at 31km taken by Lodewijk and the gap is now 3.30

 

[Kwibus]

1st sprint at 31km taken by Lodewijk and the gap is now 3.30

Keep it up. Your my liveticker @ work

 

[Boardslide]

70km covered with the gap at 3.10, Liquigas now chasing

 

[wirral]

70 km covered in 2.5 hours. Seems slow.
Have I got my time zones wrong?
