2014 National Championships

[ILovecycling]

class act by Valverde,glad for Izaguirre
Hopefully he won't fvck up this time at Tour

 

[The Blues]

With a little less than 60 kilometres left, there are only 30 riders left in the race. Insanely offensive riding all day from Saxo.

Lol, Kelderman falls, and suddenly a whole group rides away with 3 garmins (van baarle, slagter, langeveld), terpstra, boom, van poppel and some others. Only 1 belkin.

Damn keldermerckx taking out his own team

Plenty of Belkin in the group now. Anyway, my feed is frustrating as it doesn't show kms to go and I don't understand Dutch. How much left?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

We've reached the top of the climb to Trellech and a group of eight are leading - four Team Sky, the Yates brothers of Orica GreenEDGE, a Team Raleigh rider and a Madison Genesis rider. We're now 70km in.

Not even I know. NOS is so completely clueless its painful.

Solo winner in Ireland is Ryan Mullen of An Post-Chain Reaction.

 

[The Blues]

A smashing performance from the winner, Zoidl, in Austria, it seems:

So, one lap to go? It seemed like they were ringing the bell as they came through. How long are the laps? Langeveld seems to be destroying this. Belkin-fail imminent?

 

[l.Harm]

Langeveld going to take it, it seems.

Voeckler and Turgot in the break, game over

 

[Arnout]

Belkin fails to win the national championship for the umteenth time in a row. As Ryo would say, good riddance

 

[Winnen]

Langeveld going to take it, it seems.

Now 1 minute ahead.

3. Paidi O'Brien Osbourne-The Edge

Voeckler vs FDJ in French RR

 

[burning]

FDJ is calmly chasing with 230 riders, I doubt that anything but a sprint can happen

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Voeckler coming into some good form just before the tour. Pure luck I guess.

Anyway Bouhanni vs Demare here.

An interesting little twist.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

@Arnout: Belkin was more or less done in by the fall. After that they only had Boom + the tired early breakaway guys there.

It was basically Giant that ****ed up. They had the numbers, but did nothing with it.
Langeveld was the strongest and deserved to win

 

[jaylew]

Was that Terpstra winning the bunch sprint for 2nd? Were there any Belkin in the top 5?

Edit: Bos 5th

I don't know, it looks like one of his suicide attacks before 2010.

Terpstra outsprinted Bos

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

That sprint is uphill. Bos can't even drop a stone uphill.

1. Sebastian Langeveld (Garmin-Sharp)
2. Niki Terpstra (Omega Pharma-Quick Step)
3. Wesley Kreder (Wanty Groupe Gobert)
4. Ramon Sinkeldam (Giant-Shimano)
5. Theo Bos (Belkin Pro Cycling)

Edit: Bos 5th

Yes, and I think not.

Huge congrats to Seb Langeveld, who finally gets his well deserved reward for all his hard work down the years!

And who will be wearing the jersey in the Tour! And, who won on the 29th, age 29, wearing no. 29.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Solo winner in Ireland is Ryan Mullen of An Post-Chain Reaction.

Now the question is if he is allowed to be the elite champion.

 

[burning]

Here is the obligatory legendary Cyril Gautier attack.
