Re:

I wonder what's wrong with Hirt or CCC, hope they know what are they doing. Maybe they are preparing him for Giro? Such talented climber.

Re: Re:

McCarthy 4th

Send him to the Giro, he'll be Alberto's superdom

Well he definitely seems better than Beltran who was supposed to be a good climber

 

[Pricey_sky]

Etixx now in the front and the gap is disappearing, 1'12 with 25km to go.

 

[ILovecycling]

37 secs and 14km to go, eqs pulling hard

 

[the sceptic]

I get the feeling these stage profiles are a bit exagerrated.. cav going for this?

Didn't he win this stage last year or was it slightly different?

Ewan dropped?

 

[ILovecycling]

[ILovecycling]

cav is not going to contest,maybe greipel?

These profiles are most definitely exaggerated.

 

[ILovecycling]

yep,there he was

 

[Pricey_sky]

Greipel wins, that was a decent last 15k's.

Easy win for Greipel.

 

[Jagartrott]

Greipel is going uphill quite smoothly. Finished only 9 minutes behind the winner yesterday (Cav at half an hour).
And in a reduced peloton, he doesn't have to battle for position, and of course he's still very fast.

 

[barmaher]

The way cycling is going, Greipel will be a contender for Il Lombardia within a few years.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

well, Greipel certainly had no issues with RvV this year, I think he's becoming a more Kristoff-like sprinter: Hard to drop on short hills

 

[Bushman]

Great racing in the last 10 k. Mas Bonet is quite a powerhouse. Nice victory for Greipel as well.

 

[Jagartrott]

Perhaps Quickstep should've let Boonen sprint. He's normally better at these dragging uphill sprints than Cavendish.

Semi exciting stages with people having a dig

No that's impossible at Etixx. They choose one leader and than no changes are possible. Flexibility is a non-existing word at the Etixx team. (same btw for BMC and Sky for example)

And he was on the attack yesterday and placed 3rd in today's sprint. Glad he's getting some good results, albeit only in Turkey but still good results. I hope he gets another Grand Tour start this year.
