37° Volta ao Algarve 2011 (708k) Feb 16 to 20

[Parrulo]

1km = 1mile.
it's not just a translator it's also strange calculator... seems like some version 1.0.0.

no

1 mile = 1.5 km's

besides ticker is in portuguese and in portugal we(i am portuguese) use km's not miles. so my translation is good. . . .

 

[Ney the Viking]

Any news of Wout Poels?

Km 160 - Prémio de montanha - ordem de passagem: 1º Wouter Pouels (Vacansoleil), 2º Ricardo Mestre (Tavira-Prio), 3º Gustav Larsson (Saxo Bank).

 

[Parrulo]

ya got the first place there but mestre keeps the kom jersey

It's a surprise that Pouels won against Mestre

last 20 km?wtf isn't this stage just 179 km long?

 

[Beech Mtn]

It's vaguely disconcerting that Volta ao Algarve translates into Tour Of California using google translate!

Maybe all that talk about AToC being the 4th grand tour was actually a mistranslation, and it is really this race that is the 4th GT. In which case, we need to recalculate how many GT wins Contador has.

 

[Parrulo]

prolly a mistake? maybe they meant last 2k i dunno tbh

 

[TeoSheva]

isn't this stage just 179 km long?

just for Bennati, the others have more km to do

 

[Squire]

At the beginning of the stage, the ticker said something about 16 extra kms. The roadbook of this race must be horrible.

And by the way, there can't be any favourites in the groups further behind. Gap went up by 2min in 10km. Seems like they're not even trying.

 

[Parrulo]

Km 179 - A corrida está lançada: o primeiro grupo distancia-se dos perseguidores: 5m36s.

main group already has 5:36s over the second group.

the second group prolly stoped for a barbecue or something

[insideout leadout]

Last hill is 2,7km @ 8,9%. A tad too long for Gilbert but who knows

Good to know, I think I can certainly see Timmy his passion about the guy

I don't know why Poels keeps going for mountain jerseys. That stage has passed, it's time for real GC riding.

Agreed. He is good enough anyway.

 

[Christian]

[cineteq]

10km to go - peloton compacto

 

[Ryaguas]

Oh oh... DaShack and Garmin on the front... maybe Ryder feeling good today?

 

[Parrulo]

Radioshack e Garmin-Cervélo comandam o pelotão e preparam o acesso ao início de subida.

shack and garmin lead the peloton

who does garmin have?

 

[insideout leadout]

Garmin riding in the front for Hesjedal I suppose.

 

[Ryaguas]

maybe some big guns were dropped in the second group? or just the roulleurs?

 

[Highlander]

Clearly Garmin is working to set up Tom Danielson to win not only the stage, but the overall as well.

 

[cineteq]

[Parrulo]
