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

[jens_attacks]

Meryem Ana Climb

2013:6,0 km@6,9%---14:22---average speed 25.06 km/h(Mustafa Sayar)

quite the speed if the slope i got is correct.good level for tour of turkey
went at one point very fast but he tired on the last km


also bow down to seker spor tactic: sayar could probably drop them all in gogubeli already but he didn't want his team to take the race on their shoulders so early. very good decision.

 

[Shardi]

Is it just me, or is Sayars cadence very low for that kind of effort? People who go like that usually drop dead after 500m.

absolutely. it was a monster gear... around 60 rpm? must be a lot of watts wasted i guess

Weening does the same, he never dies.

Nor did Sergey Gonchar

the way sayar rides he'll have a very short career. almost no one can hold heavy gears for long(only monsters like gonchar and botero). it ruined careers of weening, fothen, ignatiev en many others at young age

Maybe he is just training?

Kash and Seeldrayers after the stage

Kash is too nice.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Kash is too nice.

ofc, he is a humble and sweet person

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kittel very easy

 

[classicomano]

Legendary Argos.

 

[roundabout]

Stupid hairpin. Stupid QS.

Is that the Keisse finish from last year?

Izmir, so it probably is.

 

[brilleaben]

I was not often in my life so angry about a result of someone else. And I see many people around me feeling the same.

Yes the same corner not to mention the riders who got caught on the wrong side of the road before that and could not get back.

 

[taiwan]

Where was Greipel today?

 

[trevim]

He was probably held back by the crash.

 

[movingtarget]

Yeah Greipel was not in the front group. The crash happened near the front of the bunch.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

good to see richeze back

 

[Dazed and Confused]

ok, last stage just ahead:

Reversed this might have been more fun, now the Gorilla will come out to play again.

Pretty much all riders, that were trained by Alexander Kuznetsov, too.

yes this is 100% true. see once big talents like karpets. ignatiev comes form that school too

 

[manafana]

yeah same corner, and that still happened despite orica messing up and getting on wrong side of road.

 

[greenedge]

Guardini to win- the Germans will start their sprints either too early or too late.

 

[manafana]

This is a decent race that should grow, the cmaera work is decent, think it just needs that one more short uphill finish to meet about with the gc. Surely cavendish would been better racing this than fighting it out in ROmandie.
