2015 Tour des Fjords 27-31/05 (2.1)

This is a great, great result by Kragh, it really is. Mads Pedersen continues to impress as well. It has been a good year from the young Danes so far.

Re: Re:

Søren Kragh wins the overall?

Don't think it's decided yet.

Forgot there is another stage. But it will be a sprint, right?

From last year it looks like it will be sprint, with a fast and quite technical descent with a tunnel. Last year Cort Nielson lost it by a second after gap between a rider and him appeared.

Who is in the break? Is it Quaade from Cult?

Y. Quaade.

Wow. Marco Haller riding for a very rare chance at a GC. Guess he deserves it.

 

[Pulp]

Not that Kragh Andersen isn`t a worthy winner.. But he`ll get plenty chances in the future. Haller probably won`t have too many.

 

[Bushman]

So Haller got the gc and Boasson Hagen got the stage?

Re:

Yes on both counts

Final top 10 in G.C

Kragh Andersen probably would have won on a stronger team, but very nicely executed by Katusha. Good to see EBH on the way back too.

Indeed, had he ridden on one of the WT teams, I`m sure they would have caught the last break.
Still a great, great prospect that Kragh Andersen.

Yes, but then he should have followed on the climb instead. He actually said after the stage that he felt like he did have the legs to go with them at the climb, but he was poorly positioned and got boxed in.

He is still young and learning though and he has never had the leaders's Jersey in such a big race. Really good race from him and he gained som valuable experience.

I just figure that on a WT team he would have been on the front going into the hill, or at least had someone to place him on Haller's wheel.

Yes I agree. We will see him on a big team next year for sure.
