2013 Tour du Haut Var (16th-17th February)

[Caruut]

Was that a Blanco coming through for the win? Boom?

 

[Carols]

They're just repeating the same bit of footage.

Yep...over and over again

Hell yes.......Serious racing today.

Screw up by BMC, Hushovd would have won the GC no doubt if they had worked to catch the break instead of putting their money on Oss who was +17 in GC.

[Caruut]

Hushovd wins the sprint from the peloton 24s back.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Vichot wins the overall.

 

[maltiv]

Hushovd wins the sprint from the peloton 24s back.

Unbelievable tactical screw-up by BMC, they had the overall in the bag and sacrificed it just so Oss could get a minor chance at getting a stage win

I guess they don't have radios for this race?

 

[jens_attacks]

what a let down of a race this year.
and when you think last year we had JTL and live broadcast

 

[Caruut]

Yeah, it's a weird one, isn't it? Guess they were banking on the break being brought back by other teams because they were well represented in it. It's a 2.1, so that means no radios, right?

 

[pastronef]

GC podium

1 Vichot
2 Boom
3 Ten Dam

Aupa Blanco!

Yea I don't even want to know how many guys finished in the same time in the gc, my guess is about 40

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Vichot wins the overall.

Great stuff.
Risk taking pays off this time.

I don't get how Oss didn't manage to win this stage. I assume he did no work, and still got nowhere close to Boom in the sprint.
