2015 Tour of California May 10-17 2015 (2.HC)

Not even close. Sagan owned that. And micro-wheelies crossing the line.

 

[Christian]

Zoidl looking strong... did not expect that from him but he pulled Oss back nicely. Stuyven then spectacularly died out there, but what can you do. Interested in seeing how Zoidl will do in the mountains

 

[Pricey_sky]

Looking at the heli shot of the final Cav was way too far back around the final bend, sprinted through to 3rd but sagan was in the right place to get the win.

What's with all the extra fluo on sagan's jersey compared to past races? Has extra yellow on both the shoulders and the stomach area, kind of takes away from the national champion aspect

 

[BigMac]

Guerreiro 17th, nice.

Stage:

Peter Sagan
Wouter Wippert
Mark Cavendish
Lucas Haedo
Tyler Farrar
Jasper Stuyven
Jean-Pierre Drucker
Daniel Oss
Jure Kocjan
John Murphy

Overall still a mess.

 

[BigMac]

Podium tales.

Awkward redefined.

 

[del1962]

Noticed in the interview when Sagan was questioned about Olga he did not mention him in his response but instead mentioned his teammates.

 

[BigMac]

Anyway, overall stays the same.

 

[plooton]

apparently Sagant still dominates that kind of uphill sprint finishes

The jersey is too tight to pull on him.

 

[boringboy]

Doubt it will enough to shut up Oleg, but at least it might helps Sagan's confidence

Yeah quite revealing - I think he understood the question -
but for him OT was Off Topic

Actually I think he just didn't understand the question right. From "team owner" he clearly understood only the word "team". His english is still little shaky.
But the FU Olga alternative would be so much funnier

 

[Christian]

Gotta say I missed Sagan, he can be a bit annoying but he's just a cool mofo

He is a cool mofo. Sport is much better when he's winning.

 

[Escarabajo]

LOL at the podium pictures!

 

[Pricey_sky]

According to the ToC's Twitter handle the iTT tomorrow is going ahead but has been moved to Santa Clarita due to the weather up in Bear Lake. Not sure if it's the same distance.

 

[Christian]

How do people think today's stage is gonna play out? Maybe sprint from a reduced group? On paper I'd say it looks good for a breakaway, but Hincapie seems to keep the breakaway on a short leesh

Looks like Hincapie want to honour the jersey by riding on the front and chase the break, I suppose it's great exposure for them.

Tomorrow's TT shortened by more than 10km's after being moved to Santa Clarita, as Pricey mentioned before. We would have had attacks on Mt. Baldy in case there were big gaps from the original TT, now we will have attacks because there's where most of the action will have to take place.

That tourtracker looks really good. Wish other races would have it aswell.

The Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah.

Colorado too.

edit: I mean USA Pro Challenge.

Good to see wetness in California.
