[Netserk]

Something with Kwia!

Something with Costa and Contador now.

 

[jens_attacks]

[Netserk]

[Netserk]

now

rui costa second, alberto 3rd???

Those were the only names I heard, so think so

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Kwia, what a rider.

 

[Netserk]

 

[Netserk]

Such a shame there isn't (image) coverage of this race

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

what a weird result

 

[trevim]

Hum... I'm not very pleased but it met my predictions. Hopefully Rui and Velaco can still get a win too.

 

[Arredondo]

Kwiat is frightening good

 

[BigMac]

Kwia yellow jersey with 4'' over Costa and 12'' over Contador. If it looks hard for Rui, I think Contador has no chances here at all as of now.

Horner 7th.

TM lost 10 minutes.

 

[Bushman]

That is good stuff from Kwia, seems like he has kept improving his climbing from last season. He is obviously in very good shape, so now the big question(s) will be if he will be able to keep it up when his competitors start hitting top shape? And has he improved his climbing enough, or will he still be a very good all-rounder who lacks just a little bit to take the big victories?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Man Kwiatkowski is really awesome. What improvement again... And he's still superyoung.

Polish GT winner coming up?

I think he'll be the favourite for Amstel.

 

[Bushman]

I think he'll be the favourite for Amstel.

Yes I thought so too. I just hope that he is not peaking too early. He could also prove to be an outsider for LBL, he is one that you would not want to sprint against at least. But I guess it will be a little too tough for him still.

More like Polish winner of the Ardennes Triple coming up.

He could be a factor in the GT's in the coming years though, you never know nowadays.

Is he riding MSR? Pompeiana or not, he could be the man to beat.

He really is in awesome form.

Indeed he won't be winning Liége in a near future. He is ready for Amstel and FW who knows, but only because those races are decided on the last climb. In Liége he gets poped before Ans.

And I agree that he is the major favourite for Amstel this year.

 

[BigMac]

Kwia's glory.

Costa and Conta between third and last moto sprinting for second.

Some say Contador almost made it.

Nah he didn't come close to second place, but still a very nice performance. At least he wasn't beaten by a rider like Cummings today.

Well the year Cummings beat him he went to dominate Giro

 

[the sceptic]

Contador podium looks good.

wonder if he will be able to drop Kwiatkowski on Malhao though.

 

[Butterhead]

I´m sure he will give it a try.
