Easy for Albasini.

 

[DFA123]

That was a bit of a disorganised lead out by everyone, but still very comfortable for Albasini. What was Rui Costa doing?

Re: 2015, 69th Tour de Romandie: April 28 to May 5 (WT)

So that's 5 wins in the last 6 Romandie road stages then

 

[Escarabajo]

It looked like sprinters were confused at the end!
Albasini easily.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Another easy win for Albasini

 

[Asero831]

Another cuatro for costa

Albasini goes "off contract" at the end of this year. He'll be 35 at the end of the year but his results of the past week clearly indicate he's still capable of results at the top level. IF he's still willing to ride on, one would think OGE will be stupid not to accommodate him. Will IAM possibly come up with a suitable "counter-offer" given their Swiss connections & Albasini Sr's position with the team ?

you are right, those riders shouldn't be saving energy for a mountain stage

 

[Jagartrott]

How really nice of the other teams to chase everyone. They must really like Albasini.

Re: Re:

Not calling a valuable lead-out man like Stannard fast is trolling. He was 6th in Milano-Sanremo. The guy is very fast.

No way can we ban this guy. After G, Jan van Stejnaert is my favourite rider, but this just made me laugh out loud.
Just chill guys.

 

[SyroboiII]

We are just warming up guys. Except some action from Rowe tommorow. That guy deserves a stage.

Nah, they'll ride for Stannard, he's lightning fast, after all he beat Boonen in the sprint

I don't think so,I heard Froome is interested in the bonus seconds,so he'll give it a go

Albasini a strong contender for hat trick heaven, on a trivia note who can name any other racers to take a hat trick of stage wins

Re:

Kristoff, Driedaagse De Panne '15.
Démare, 4 Jours de Dunkerque '13.
Greipel, Tour Down Under '10
Zabel, Vuelta '01

There has to be more, of course.
