2014 19th Vattenfall Cyclassics: 246km, August 24

[Akuryo]

So, OPQS with 6 leadout guys but no real sprinter (from the provisional startlist). Renshaw, Petacchi, Meersman, Steegmans, Trentin and Alaphilippe are all kind of fast but not fast enough. Only chance would be for Meersman/Alaphillipe/Trentin to attack on one of the climbs at the end and try to win it from there.

Just quoting myself to show that I knew it all along. Trentin and Alaphilippe in the break.

 

[BigMac]

And Yates.

Yes, thank you. I missed him at first sight.

Let us wait and see if they manage to stay away 'til the end. Good call.

 

[BigMac]

Boaro goes. Omegas react. Péloton is close.

 

[Hugo87]

This little steep climb is awesome.

 

[BigMac]

Eddy Boss looking good. Ready for the Vattenfall - Plouay combo.

Katusha puling hard with 4-5 men. Kristoff, Greipel, Cav, Kittel, all in the group. Gerrans and EVH too. No sight of Modolo and Démare.

2k to go.

 

[Rollthedice]

Kristoff toying with all. Monster.

 

[Hugo87]

That was a long sprint by Kristoff, impressive.

 

[BigMac]

Kristoff, Nizzolo, Gerrans.

Modolo was there and got boxed. I had high hopes for him.

 

[Marco Pantani]

OPQS must be over the moon with Cavs performances.

 

[Akuryo]

Okay, I did not expect Cavendish to be still there at the end. But what a season so far for kristoff. Awesome rider and person. I like him a lot and he deserves this vicotry!

 

[jens_attacks]

kristov, what a beast. beautiful sprint!

Glad I didnt bet on this

No train no gain. Same goes for Kittel.

Their train failed though. Only appeared inside the last K and quickly got boxed.

No train no gain. Same goes for Kittel.

you mean no legs.

 

[Arredondo]

You must give Katusha the credits for the fact they saw potential in him when BMC dropped him. He's at the moment on of the best cyclist in the world.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Yep, I meant in general.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]
