2014 Tour of Qatar, 9th - 14th February (2.HC)

[theyoungest]

Strong from Niki to beat Roelandts.

More like a fail tactic by Roelandts... sits on, sits on, sits on, and then misses the final break.

Results a little slow to emerge.

It really wasn't that simple imo. More class work from van Keirsbulck.

Thanks for posting this.

It looked like terpstra was the only one using his head.

track from a key help with terp, these guys are in great shape as they have had a medium workload over the holidays while some were having christmas dinner and mounting the wife.

 

[wirral]

If they had played around too much they would have caught by the bunch, only 7 secs at the end from Terpstra and less than 6 secs to Elmiger's back wheel.

Hmmm...I'm not sure what Roelandts was waiting for, when Elmiger and Terpstra jumped he should've 100% been onto the wheel.

You know, if the wind is doing it's work, this is really one of my favourite races each year.

 

[jens_attacks]

happened yesterday too and it all came back

the forecast for today though says crosswind a lot

vasseur twitter:

live at 1 CET?

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Please post the actual situation once it goes live. I am unable to watch.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Twitter saying Cancellara has been reported in the third echelon! 40 secs behind the first bunch (I guess there's still a break ahead or something? echelons are always chaotic and if you only have sporadic twitter updates to go on, it's difficult to get a grip on the race situation)

 

[jens_attacks]

groups all over the road

24 riders in the first one

 

[burning]

Whole OPQS is in the first group, they really know how to ride in crosswinds

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Finally about to go live (I think).

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Boom also in the front group
