Lost 1 of my 9lives. Ran off the road at 65kph in the TT and barely have a scratch. Very lucky. Would have been a fast time too.

 

[SafeBet]

Nice win for Malori
Improved a lot since last year.

 

[Hugo87]

Happy for Marcel Wyss a very good TT for him, already some good results this year, top-20 on Criterium Internacional plus top-10 at Romandie and now 7th place.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Really impressive the TT's of Diego Ulissi this year.

Nice Jasha Sütterlin. This guy must be World Tour next season.

Nice too Thibaut Pinot. 30 plain kilometers, only 1' with Malori and other specialists.
With a performance like this in the plain TT of the TDF wouldnt lose more than 2'30" with the winner. A fantastic result.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

so final stage (5) looks like a Nurnberg crit race:

Bunch sprint with Haussler, Bos, Ciolek and Swift as main guys.

 

[Gloin22]

Haussler wins the stage.

Malori wins the GC. Thomas 2nd. Barta 3rd.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Haussler wins the stage.

Malori wins the GC. Thomas 2nd. Barta 3rd.

[Afrank]

Good for Haussler, it's about time he got a win.

 

[pastronef]

beautiful day!

Haussler and [Belgique winner] get a win!

 

[jens_attacks]

nice to hear that haussler still can win something

 

[Ruudz0r]

Good to see Barbie and IAM take a win. Also happy with Malori winning GC and Thomas finishing 2nd!

It was apparantly quite a good stage today with lots of rain, some crosswinds and a lot of splits.

 

[Kokoso]

Barta another decent result. He has quite enough of them already. Very likable guy, modest, very tough, fighter.

 

[RHRH19861986]

Haussler said this was his hardest day on a bike ever

Says the man who rode this Belgian spring... I live 70k from today´s finish, and am quite surprised. OK, it´s rather cold for end of May, rained all day, and little bit windy, but his statement surprised me, though...

Maybe it´s because it´s his first race after a break and he doesn´t hit top shape yet.

 

[JRanton]

Barta another decent result. He has quite enough of them already. Very likable guy, modest, very tough, fighter.

NetApp-Endura will bring a very respectable team to the Vuelta.

Barta, Konig, De la Cruz, Huzarski and Voss are all good enough to win a stage from a break. Perhaps Konig will go for GC?

That group will probably be better than what half the WT teams will send.

 

[Gloin22]

Especially as they should be at their peak.

Let's be fair, half of the peleton comes to Vuelta to prepare for Worlds...

Yep, König will try his first GT GC. I think that might suit him, it'll turn out that he has great recovery ability. And he improved his TT significantly... Top ten is possible if he puts it together.
