[Bernie's eyesore]

Kirby is doing this as well, ffs.

He'll be doing the Vuelta and Tour of Britain at the same time on sunday afternoon before doing Montreal in the evening. I can't wait.

 

[Afrank]

Coquard takes it.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Coquard wins.

Hofland lost his nerves

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Good final.

 

[RedheadDane]

Tha' was fun!
Love this sprint match let's see how slow we can go thing.
Also, Nizzolo being the old guy in the final.

 

[roundabout]

Man, Coquard was fast.

Mission accomplished

 

[theyoungest]

Coquard wins.

Hofland lost his nerves

I don't have to eat my words, he's still stupid

It was a nice try, Coquard is probably faster anyway.

A shame Sagan didn't take part. Would be good fun to see one of these take place involving all the top sprinters.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Does anyone know the estimated finish time (CET) for both races?

Eurosport runs until 10.30 PM, so I guess a little before that.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Thanks!

[Kwibus]

2 proven quality races over the last 3 years. Right from the start a great addition to the cycling calendar.

Machado on an early classic break. Seems he's thrown the towel.

No idea how he would have done but I remember another sprinter talk once about a race of that type and how being the best road sprinter doesn't necessarily make you the best at those type of races. I think I remember him saying that Francesca Chicchi was really good at that type of stuff. Sagan wins alot on handling wizardry. Coming through corners perfectly and such.

 

[CanSprint]

Has anyone attended the Quebec race in person?

I will be doing the 5 hr drive from toronto to montreal for sunday's race...

Quebec City race is on now (SN1 in Canada) the commentators are weak, no Kirby here lol!

[Gloin22]

Kwiatkowski and Dekker seemed to have been brought down by car in race caravan.

Out of the race..

 

[Wigwan]

Contador looks easy

 

[LaFlorecita]

Contador looks easy

Yea he does I hope he can show some good form

 

[maltiv]

Interesting tactics by BMC, attacking already.

Very weird that Caruso is riding in the breakaway, while Cannondale is also riding in the front of the peloton...

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Great racing so far.

 

[JRanton]

Froome clinging on to the back of the Peloton. GB's leader for the worlds.

 

[Netserk]

Aru
