2015 National Championships Discussion

Looks like Coquard got dropped, it is pretty much done for Bouhanni unless Simon or Gallopin can pull out a monster sprint.

Re: Re:

Been a great effort from Cav but surely he'd be better off just sitting up and resting for the Tour than burying himself for a potential 4th.

I don't get statements like this. He's riding this race anyway, why not giving as much as you can? It's not going to make a difference for the Tour

A post a few pages ago implied it did cost him in the 2013 Tour.

It will be hard to control though. Chavanel, Gallopin, ... will try something for sure.

Well it may not make any difference but his target is the Tour and he's really buried himself in this race,I hope he hasn't gone too far into the red for it to have left its mark. That being said I'd love Cav to win!

How did the main group get destroyed like that, and Nacer still there?

 

[burning]

How can Voeckler keep on attacking?

 

[Asero831]

Toomy V attacks

Bouhanni is so underrated. He's a great rider, even uphill. The Vuelta 2014 showed that!

1 Etixx vs 3 Sky now. Can Cav pull of a Stannard

 

[SlickMongoose]

All four together.... If Cav somehow wins I will laugh so much....

 

[BigMac]

Last lap in Portuguese Nats and main group is down to 10. Rui Costa, Machado and Cardoso are there. Hernani Broco, Amaro Antunes and Sandro Pinto have a slight lead. Why don't we have this live!

Because it was Cofidis that did all the destruction.

 

[Akuryo]

4 riders, Etixx and Sky. Something about that seems familiar.

 

[Singer01]

if cav wins this it will be immense after the work he has put in.

 

[Guybrush]

Cav gained lot of popularity points today

 

[TMP402]

That must go down as a real fail for Stannard and Kennaugh that even with great cooperation they weren't able to create an unsurpassable gap over Cavendish who was pulling for what, 30km?

 

[Pricey_sky]

Really great ride from Cav today, looks mega strong!

 

[BigMac]

OMG Nacer crash.

 

[sultanofhyd]

Tronet wins. Bouhanni down

 

[burning]

Allright, nobody expected that winner from France.

 

[Asero831]

Nacer down

 

[goggalor]

Bouhanni after all that work. Hopefully he's not injured.

 

[Bushman]

Bouhanni....

Tronet French champion. Great form atm.

Re:

Yeah, another great victory for him indeed.

 

[Sasquatch]

That sucks for Bouhanni.
