Re:

tinkoff tactics is rather absurd. hope that channelling sky 2012 is not what is to come.

other than that, nice to have action early on.

I honestly don't think they'd chase or work as hard if it wasn't Nieve. You wouldn't want to let him gain 3 minutes in a break. Too dangerous, much better to get him back and let a small group go again. I don't think it's anything to do with Olga this time.

Juul has pulled for.. like what.. 40k?

I've never heard about him before now, but he seems to be a very good domestique.

Re:

@RiisThomas: can’t figure out whether tinkoff-saxo are afraid of someone in front of the peloton, or some guy sitting behind the peloton

Tosatto might, according to De Jongh

Juul has pulled for.. like what.. 40k?

Never heard of him he's super strong

Matthews a clear favourite

Re:

Love that... Olga. LOL.

Hope CG riders and those having the luxury to select teams by own will stay as far away as possible from signing for Tinkoff in the near future. Then, after circa 2 years from now this clown is history.

or Sagan tactics: good results with small low-pay team, then cash in a big check from Olga for a year or two

Still don't get the Tinkoff tactic. They should at least safe some of their riders.

 

[sir fly]

It was just a matter of moment when Pirazzi will jump.

 

[TommyPlus]

Oleg thinks physical limitations disappear if you insist enough.
No way they can keep this up for 3 weeks.
