2016 Tour of California 2.HC May 15-22

[TMP402]

Yet again I guess Carlton put money on him which is why he's freaking out.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Regardless of the very low quality of climbers, Powless is very very impressive

 

[Anderis]

Cannondale have chosen the wrong leader. Talansky was obviously stronger than Craddock today.

 

[luckyboy]

Maybe George Bennett will be a Tour contender too Carlton

 

[laurensde+]

Balaphilippe

 

[jaylew]

Looks like Talansky shouldn't have been working for Craddock today. He was obviously much stronger. You gotta wonder how he'd have done racing for himself rather than setting pace.

- "Carlton, what are your thoughts on Stetina's performance today?"
- "Reichenbach is fantastic"

Carlton: "The sound you can hear is the odds tumbling on Alaphilippe for the Tour de France"

That last K or so from Ala was insane.

"Atapuma... what a boy!"

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Jaramillo disappointing. He never does anything in the big US races.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Powless is the best 19year old I 've seen in the last 20 years. The boy has insane potential

 

[Moviefan1203]

That was a vicious attack from Alaphilippe. Absolutely nasty.

 

[Krokro]

Great ride from Alaphilippe. No need to emphasize if the competition was there, if the win was deserved. Kirby was just being Kirby. Im just seing a young talent beating quite okay names : Talansky, Craddock, Sanchez and so on. There were far from being the best climbers around, but still pretty great. Glad for him after his winter.

He looked great but that seems a bit extreme. Wasn't Sagan 19 when he burst onto the scene?

I was talking about Gc riders, sorry.

Hopefully he can continue on this path. It should be fun to watch him develop over the next several years.

 

[luckyboy]

Maybe he missed Coppi e Bartali and Trentino

 

[yetanothergreenworld]

It's good to see Alaphillipe back on top of the AOTC. Last year he burst onto the scene so impressively in April and May; then he vanished for the rest of the year. So far this season has been a carbon copy of last year's. Here's hoping that this time his good form continues through the summer . . .

You should check out Egan Bernal

Very smooth, very impressive!

A nice piece by Velonews on him

Re: Re:

What a b race this has become

Tell me about it. Alaphillippe can't get into the top 50 in mountain stages in europe.
Here he wins

He probably could if he tried
