2016 GP Cyclistes: Québec et Montréal, Sep. 9 and 11

[Kwibus]

Moscon so strong.

 

[sir fly]

Omloop...
... Almost.

 

[Kwibus]

Go Uran!

 

[Kwibus]

Sagan wins. Uran taken back in final 50mtrs who attacked on the same apot as last year.

Gva trying to follow sagans wheel. No chance at all.

 

[Keram]

So Sagan has some decent shape after all But this is definitely one of his lamest wins ever.

 

[Lord Stanley]

Sagan looked horrible and ... won

 

[lartiste]

Sagan, how to win a race as invisible man! Great sprint nyway!

 

[Laplaz]

Omg this was thrilling!

 

[sir fly]

It was just matter of the way it'll finish like this, I have impression.

Yes Yes Yes Yes yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GVA can' stop s****** Sagan's wheel, but Sagain is just a much stronger rider than GVA. YES YES YES!!!!!!!

My uncle sees things. Sagan is going to win both, SOLO.

Tinkoff finally with a strong team will control the race and chase when needed, so Monster Petz will unleash hell and going flatout and GVA will lose Sagz wheel despite never taking a turn.

Get over it

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
But let's stop my fanboyism....

It's amazing to see the world champ and olympic* champ discussing races.









*Because Sagan was on vacation. :twisted:

 

[RedheadDane]

For a sec there it looked like Cannondale was finally gonna get their first WT win this season but... naah! That would be too weird.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Be calm, Anderis, be calm.

 

[Laplaz]

Moscon really strong for his age

 

[Anderis]

Noooo.

 

[roundabout]

Re:

At least Bettiol (?) kept his run going.

 

[SKSemtex]

Strange race and yes the strangiest win by Sagan what I remember.

Yeah, Bettiol is amazing recently.

 

[BigMac]

Re:

I wonder if this will be a sprint.

That is almost always the case with Québec since the Gerrans / Van Avarmaet H2H.

Montréal is the better race, despite being slightly less scenical.

That said, I think both races could benefit from two additional laps.

Could have been worse, though. For some time I was under the impression that Orica was yet again going to ruin the race. The way they dominated both events in 2014 made me crawl up the walls spider-walk style like the Exorcist girl.

 

[Keram]

But overally boring race. Hilly classics are boring these days. Finale was thrilling though. It is weird to see win Sagan one day race where he done absolutely nothing. I don´t like it.

according to Peter the most important guy for his train wasguy from FDJ, who was it?

Re:

Anthony Roux.

And Jérémy Roy before that.

Thanks, well done by FDJ guys :lol: , may be Peter would join FDJ instead of Bora

 

[May0maniac]

That was a pretty good final but yes, Montréal is usually the better race.
Bettiol finished 4th, he's really having a great season, one of the big surprises of 2016.

Re:

He said in the interview that he was taking in easy on the climbs as there was no reason to waste energy.

... whether his own decision or his DS, pretty smart riding IMO

Last couple laps he always dropped down the group on the steepest rise
