Re: Re:

So Sagan saying he has doubts about Qatar was a sign for what's happening right now.

It's unlikely a rider loses that much form in a week. He's probably having a not-so-good-day and still seems like one of the strongest out there.

This is not about form but tiredness.

Then I don't see how that can be a problem for Qatar. Still lots of time to go.

Going to be cheerful at the BMC dinner table tonight.

Re:

Maybe 30 points or something like that, good luck with that

Naesen has to save energy to attack on denderoordberg

Good luck indeed. Even if they got the points needed, I'm afraid that right now it boils down to which team has the [most] big names and more coin.

Re:

He certainly looks very strong. I think he will win

Don't know. It's not like the two Lotto's have more big names.
But it's almost impossible for Dimension Data to get the points they need, it's not like they're gonna be top-3 in Lombardia.

Of course it can be a problem. You think these guys can go on and on forever? Even more so mentally than physically, many need a proper break.

 

[rick james]

that's doesn't look 47 seconds

 

[Samamba]

What is Naesen doing.

 

[Billie]

what is punishment for riding without id number?

 

[Alexandre B.]

Jungels went full *** in both ways.

 

[Velolover2]

Poor Sagan has to pull the rest of the group.

Too bad his team is so bad.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Dumoulin escaped again. But no use

 

[Billie]

Naesen riding for 2nd place

There's no way he got that much tired here considering how fersh he looked in Plumelec. There's a huge amount of time between the end of Eneco and the WCRR. He'll be good.

Lol Naesen, boss

 

[Alexandre B.]

Naesen doing his best Plouay impression.

 

[Ruby United]

Just joined. Brief summary please?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Very good race day. Congrats to Terpstra and EBH.
Cobbles above everything else........

 

[Velolover2]

Dumoulin beating GVA and Sagan. Maybe he should try Flanders next year.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Dumoulin bossing GVA and Sagan on a cobbled sprint.

LOL

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Hopefully Greipel will get the leadership role for sand box stuff....
