2013 Grandes Prix Cyclistes: Québec et Montréal, 13 and 15 of September (WT)

[argyllflyer]

One of the most enjoyable races of the season there!

 

[shalgo]

Well, Froome certainly didn't have it today.

 

[burning]

What is it with Gesink that he can only perform in North America?

You clearly didnt see his sprint a week ago

 

[BigMac]

One of the most enjoyable races of the season there!

Completely agree. I was expecting this race to be fantastic. Looking forward to Montréal also.

 

[Shardi]

Sagan looked as if he had bike problems, rather than just blew apart.

If not, then how will he match Cancellara, the italians and the spaniards at worlds?

 

[shalgo]

PS: Gesink's wife hiding their baby inside a bagpack?

Backpack carriers are very common on this side of the Atlantic and would make much more sense than a stroller/pram in that kind of crowd.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

LOL that was hilarious! Gesink took the front with a little more than a kilometre to go and noone ever passed him! Great race as usual.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Lutsenko blew himslef following Sagan and Trentin on the first ramp
Should have kept hiss cool abit longer

 

[BigMac]

I think sagan gave up from the moment he saw Robby passing by him. Also let us not forget if it wasn't him, Terpstra would have won .

Instead we should realize that Sagan cooked Froome in that uphill slope.

 

[theyoungest]

Not him. Tepstra did.

Did you notice the final 2 k, where Gesink was on the front almost the entire time?

Crazy stuff by Bobby G.

 

[RedheadDane]

what what hwat whathat whta. Gesink can only perform in Canada.

And California...

Just went to look him up on Wikipedia was gonna see if I could make a dumb joke about him only being able to perform places starting with 'C'... and his Quebec win is already on!

 

[gooner]

Well, Froome certainly didn't have it today.

He thought he was going to rip it up on the final steep ramp and got jumped easily by Sagan. Put in his place.

Exciting race. One of the best this year.

 

[slosada]

Just 3 words: What a race!

thank you, find it quite amusing TBH

 

[classicomano]

Condor Power!!!! No one can stop this man in the Worlds!

Exciting race. One of the best this year.

Not really Froome territory though, had it gone on for a further 15 km maybe...

 

[EnacheV]

Worlds winner will be between Froome/Nibali/Contador or some other good GC climber with decent TT abilities

If on this inside city "climb" you have GC guys with 2k to go imagine on 5km climb repeated a lot of times

 

[brilleaben]

Gesink should just ride on the Continental America Tour exclusively. He can return to Europe in 15 years and be ready for a GT win then.

 

[BigMac]

Everyone, Tiago Machado is back! Congratulations to him on the climbers classification.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

I assume Dekker_Tifosi missed this win as well, just like Mollema on Wednesday. Or maybe he's just fainted?

I am afraid you´re right.

The best GC guy finished 5th.

Daaaaaaaa***mn I missed this.

Besides the fact that Gesink won, which would've made me jump off my chair screaming this race is always good. Usually even better than Montreal, but I'm confident I will be able to watch Montreal. Can't miss both of them.

Reading the comments this was one crazy race again.

Cance will be there though

 

[del1962]

What a great race, and great win for Gesink, I think Sagan's early attack did for him in the end.

And Van Arvamaet follows the wrong wheel

Gesink must have a chance for the worlds.
