2015 Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic (1.HC)

[TMP402]

Peloton splitting up as some want to chase the leading group and the rest don't. Still 1.50 advantage with 15km left though.

Edit: Swift goes! He has Theunessen and Drucker... but it's all coming together again.

Gaviria looks like a sprinting version of Uran.

 

[Popchu]

Swift should get it right this time.

Drucker faster. And he never messes up.

But Gaviria should be the fastest. Taking a lot of pulls though, I hope he knows what he does.

Brave move from Swift??

Re:

Yep. He knows there's at least one other faster than him.

Nice. Never saw him race. Looks promising.

 

[TMP402]

van Marcke goes 13km out. The rest aren't chasing very hard.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

just love sep

 

[Irondan]

Van Marcke needs a win... Does he do it here?

 

[Happy dude]

Gaviria looks poor

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Sbaragli is no mean sprinter, and seems to be doing less than many of them.

 

[jaylew]

Some good racing here.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Not working together, Vanmarcke is gone.

 

[BigMac]

You just don't let a natural attacker go.

 

[TMP402]

Swift really wants this. Three attacks.

van Marcke has 16 seconds with 10km left.

 

[Irondan]

I'd love to see Van Marcke win today.

Let's go Sep!!

 

[SlickMongoose]

Odd that they all mark Ben Swift tightly but let a rider like Vanmarcke just ride off the front.......

Let's go Sep!!

He's pedaling looks nice and loose.

A bit too many Dan Martish up ans down movements though.

 

[TMP402]

Some idiot moto rides up to van Marcke and pats him on the back. Sep is not appreciative.

Re:

When Swift attacked with Teunissen and Drucker, the rest made Sbaragli do all the chasing so he's trying to not do it at the moment. Quite a few strong sprinters in the group behind which will mean they don't want to waste their sprint, but those that can't sprint don't want to drag them along and Teunissen is obviously not going to chase... they seem to be organizing it now but has Vanmarcke got enough of a gap while they were sorting themselves out?

Perhaps, but he might have enough to stay away. No help from the Moto's though...

Understandably so

 

[rick james]

Van Marcke has this

 

[TMP402]

van Marcke looks to be tiring.

 

[Irondan]

20 seconds...

 

[Happy dude]

Vanmarcke looks laboured
