Agree, but there seems to be little alternative within the Lampre team.

Yeah with Horner very much set back they have limited options, I prefer Cunego thou while obviously not as good as he still has a godo grand tour in him id feel

Anyone know much about the Kiwi rider George Bennett (Cannondale)? Finished Stage 3 14th place @ 51 sec (GC: 14th @ 1.50) ?

I didn't know the Kiwis had a pro that could climb a bit? Then again New Zealand is a pretty mountainous country so it should come as no surprise. Plus he's only 24. Good to see.

He's going to be a pretty solid pro. The guy is only 58 kgs and took up the sport fairly late so he should progress a fair bit. The most talented NZ climber is actually James Oram who is at the Bissell development team in the States. He'll be leading their team at the Tour of California/Utah/Colorado this year and he's only 20

george bennet is 58 kg and something like 1.81 that should tell you how thin he is

 

[Yingge]

With 5km to go, there are 10 riders in the leading group:

Scarponi, Aru, Landa, Pozzovivo, Niemiec, Evans, Pellizotti, Duarte, Metijev, Machado.

No attacks, just riders popping off the back one by one.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

meintjes is going to become a star in future cycling. eh has something almost no sotuh africans have. the true big engine needed for european races.

 

[Yingge]

Action time.

3 km to go: Meintjes leading , Landa + 0.10, Pellizotti +0.16, +30 Evans and the others

 

[Escarabajo]

[Escarabajo]
