2016 Österreich Rundfahrt (2-9 july)

Re:

William Clarke won
Surely it wasn't uphill, right? most of the top-20 are sprinters. Even Ruffoni is 4th and he normally can't get over a speedbump

It was just a 600m all out effort, great for explosive riders, and the early starters had much better weather.

130 riders distributed over 26 seconds in 1 second intervals... That's new to me.

Hill Climbs like this are often won by power guys. And the peloton is terribly weak.

I can't even recognise 4/5 of the names on the start list.

Ruffoni won,
ahead of Pasqualon, Martinez and Venturini

 

[FilipeFD]

how about that huge salami

[LaFlorecita]

Venturini won today ahead of Pasqualon and Van Ginneken

 

[Red Rick]

Ridiculous prologue. Must see that in the WT one day.

 

[Gigs_98]

Could the mods maybe make the thread sticky

Edit: Thanks

Yes sir!! I hoped Brendan will take a win or maybe even the overall, nice one!! Going good!!

Canty is a decent climber and one who can make it WT level - I assume he will be in the Cannondale/Drapac team in 2017.

There's no need to assume, it has already been confirmed by Vaughters.

 

[May0maniac]

Jan Hirt was already pretty string on such a shot climb, he's my pick for tomorow.

 

[Anderis]

Btw. good performance by Rutkiewicz. Good to see he is not done after being dropped by CCC. What a wasted talent he is. I still remember how he dropped Sagan and Nibali on a downhill during Tour de Pologne once.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Is there a livestream today?

 

[Bushman]

Jan hirt destroyed the opposition. Guillaume Martin 3rd.

Hirt takes over the race lead

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Another Top 10 for Hermann Pernsteiner - in his second stage race ever.

 

[Anderis]

Slightly disappointed by Canty today. I surely expected him to finish higher after yesterday's victory. I'm still not sure what type of rider he exactly is, does he prefer shorter climbs over longer? Based on his result on that big climb in Tour of Oman I assumed he is a pure climber rather than kind of puncheur.

Yeah, but today we had a MTF that is harder than every MTF that we'll see this year in a gt at high altittude, that's a different beast.
Happy for Hirt, many teams will try to sgn him, I think Bora or Lampre wouldn't be a bad option for him.

Something's puzzling me for some time... The name of this race...
Are they farting in rounds or what?

You know, there are other languages than English in the world
