Belkin needs to stop putting faith in Bos and pass him off to Orange Cycling after this season. Time for Hofland and Markus to take over.

After Markus's glorious 7th place today?

Very clear, and powerful win for Viviani. When he opened up his sprint, I was sure he was going to win.

Finally we saw some racing...

Yeah at least theres a lot of potential there, Bos is so ridiculously 1 dimensonial. The stars need to allign perfectly for him to even ride a sprint, 9/10 times he gets boxed in or the course was too hard and it cut off his legs. Stop wasting energy on this guy, hes already over 30 and seems to be getting progressivly worse.

Wurf's blog will be funny, he'll be so chuffed will be even more spelling mistakes than usual

Definitely. I'm so looking forward to the day that Cameron wins a stage. He'll be so excited he'll probably write a 5000 word blog on it including a paragraph about how the champaign tasted.

i love wurf but don't know if i could recommend that style of pace setting.

Agree on Markus has much more to him than Bos whos quiet well paid for a lot of failing, still thinks hes on the track at times

Stage 6 coming up:

Last year's winner on same stage

He's also in this edition, lurking in the background.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

He's also in this edition, lurking in the background.

So his retirement was just a ruse?

Who, Mustafa Sayar?

No, he is serving his 2 year ban.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

lol, messed that up completely.

Who, Mustafa Sayar?

No, he is serving his 2 year ban.

yep, sorry.


Here we go, this might work better:

 

[ozgur.nevres]

So his retirement was just a ruse?

As far as I know, he is training now and will return after serving his ban. I heard that from his team members, one of them was his ex-roommate. So probably yes, his retirement was a ruse...

Is that final climb 3 km @ 16%? Surely the graphic cannot be right.

Yesterday's winner:

Not going to happen too often, so this deserves a picture. More pictures here:http://www.steephill.tv/2014/tour-of-turkey/photos/stage-05/

 

[greenedge]

I think Yates has a chance, but Taaramae is class
I'll be happy if either of them win

 

[Ruudz0r]

Today it's time for:

 

[manafana]

Kudos should enjoy it hoping cobo shows bit more he didn't really try last time, yate and taaramae hopefully go well again.

Hansen might not hang on this time
