2013 Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey (2.HC) 21st - 28th April

[markene2]

Tour of Turkey is such a beutiful race. One of the races i enjoy most watching all season.

 

[Jakob747]

He's José João Mendes - just that they've put in his full name, like sometimes we see Rui Costa down as RA Faria da Costa. While I agree with you (I am quite a fan of Mendes), I don't know if you may have confused him with Julián Sánchez Pimienta, formerly of Contentpolis-AMPO and Andalucía, who won the queen stage of Catalunya a few years ago.

Also, if Törku SekerSpor are going to contribute somebody to the GC mix I'd have thought David de la Fuente is a more obvious call than Mizourov, but then Mizourov has surprised me before.

I'm also thinking Rory Sutherland might be a good bet in this weak climbing field.

Correct . José João Mendes of course. I apologieze, I was in a hurry because I wanted to catch Canelo vs Trout.

I completely missed De la Fuente as well.

Stage 2. Now its this man's turn:

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

oh my god. look like greipel grow into a bigger monster every day

edit: see now this is an older pic with cav adn haedo

 

[Dazed and Confused]

a LBL style break has been formed at about 5km into the race.

Now:

after 14km, gap 5 minutes

Koretzky (BSE), Ferrari (CJR), Gawronski (CCC), Quintero (COL), Sano (VIN) and Örken (TRK).

we are probably done for the next 100km. Note ETA 16:15 (CEST)

[BlenJones2]

That crash was absolutey horrendous! How on earth did that bike end up spinning through the air

 

[theyoungest]

The Rabo Fail Train took its name quite literally today. I hope Renshaw is okay.

 

[will10]

And now we wait for the damage report. That was messy.

 

[kingjr]

Ridiculous. Even when Blanco does everything right they manage to fu.ck it up with 600m to go dragging half the field with them.

 

[l.Harm]

Wtf was De Kort doing there I think he pushed Bos, who was riding into the wheel of Renshaw.
