2014 Grandes Prix Cyclistes: Québec et Montréal, 12 and 14 o

[Bushman]

What a sprint from Dumoulin though.

 

[Gloin22]

Dombrowski DNF (?)..... WTF has Sky done to this kid?!

Nothing. He has ****ed up knees.

 

[Samson777]

A glorious success for Omega Pharma Quick-Step!

Is these guys drinking on the job or what? You gotta wonder..

 

[Hugo Koblet]

What a great sprint! Gerrans is a beast! Nice effort by Dumoulin as well.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Gerrans always wins good races that aren't raced
But I gotta give it to him, he does what he does very well. Good sprint by him I thought Dumoulin would take it at some point.

Dumoulin did a good sprint though. Good to see he has some potential and ambition in classics.

GOD ****ING DAMNIT

Not again.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Huh Navardauskas third after being in that attack for quite a while?! Impressive!

 

[Jspear]

provisional standings
1. Gerrans, 2. Dumoulin, 3. Navardausksas, 4. Impy, 5. GVA

 

[BigMac]

They are doing a fantastic job, you are pathetic

Calm down, now. You should refrain from typing if you did not watch the race entirely. They were nowhere to be seen during 190km, that is far from doing a good job. A race is not just final km's. They are pathetic.

 

[qwerty16]

Well done by Gerrans, especially after the flat tyre

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ofcourse Tom Dumoulin 2nd, why not. Pffasfasfasfasf

 

[kingjr]

Nice one by Gerro

Poor Dumoulin though, that was really close.

In a race like this it's a good idea to save yourself for the last couple of kms. Smart racing from Lampre today (although their captain failed them HARD).

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gerrans never wins nice. Can't blame him for it though.

Wegmann not in the top 10 for the first time ever.

 

[theyoungest]

Great attack by Tom 'always the bridesmaid' Dumoulin. Pretty impressive stuff from Wellens as well.

Gerrans... the guy can sprint.

 

[Hugo87]

Costa not good at all today, even without Vichot crashing he wouldn't be at top-15 and he was suffering at the end.

I'm getting scared for the worlds, but still Montreal to go.

Gerrans impressive!

Yes. They clearly saved themselves going thrice in pointless attacks. And that is not even the point, they should have protected their leader. Oliveira stood near Costa, alone, for more than 160km's, while the others were riding for themselves or simply did not care. Most but two did not even appear in the front at the end so that makes no sense. And they have been like this all year and you know it.

Libertine Seguros, the floor is yours.

He was delivered nicely for the last climb, yet failed BIG TIME. All blame should be on Rui.

Gerrans impressive!

Only his second race after DNF'ng from the Tour. I'd say he did well. And you know that once he saw such a big group after Potasse he likely eased his pace. A top 10 was irrelevant.

We all saw that last year.

 

[Flamin]

Meh uphill sprint. Would have liked to see how Gerrans got back on so quickly after the puncture though. Nibali style is my guess.

 

[BigMac]

Are you serious? Where did I blame Lampre? All I said is that they did not and never act as a team with focus on their leader. If Costa did not manage to win is irrelevant. My post on that was waaay before the finish so I don't know where you got that idea from.
