I reckon he (cardoso) has no chance...and I sure would love to be proved wrong. Just not his type of finish judging by the profile.

 

[TeoSheva]

Suddenly QS (Ciolek) and Cofidis (Gallopin) got to the front.

I will say Cofidis for Keukeleire...

 

[boomcie]

Apparently Degenkolb took the win.

 

[Scirea]

Degenkolb won.

John Degenkolb!! What a kid

 

[canyonball]

That's just great for him. Two youngster sprinters winning already on the early season. Mathews vs Degenkolb for sure!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Win John Degenkolb (HTC)!

(nice work RadoShack)

Who the **** is John Degenkolb

Who the **** is John Degenkolb

Are you joking? He got 2nd in the U23 worlds to Matthews (ahead of Phinney) last year.

 

[Ryaguas]

Wow... Dengelkolb! quite surprising ah? Nice work HTC! Congratz!

 

[boomcie]

Who the **** is John Degenkolb

Very talented kid. Think he took some sprint victories in the "Tour de l'Avenir". No real surprise.

 

[The Hitch]

***k

So many htc second tier sprinters in this bloody off season. Can the real season get going already

Cavs first win of the season whenever that comes will hopefuly bring an end to this/

Who the **** is John Degenkolb

Young guy HTC picked up from Thuringen Energie in the off-season. He had a pretty good year in 2.2 races last year: two stages in Bretagne, two at the FDB Ras, two at l'Avenir, one in Alsace, and a stage plus the overall at the Thuringer Rundfart.

 

[canyonball]

Apparently irregular sprinting on the table. we'll have to wait for a final decision

 

[joy118118]

Undoubtedly irregular sprint! The victory has not yet been assigned to Degenkolb!

- - John Degenkolb could not be the winner today. There are doubts about his sprint! - -

 

[Jamsque]

There are 'doubts' about Degenkolb's sprint, we could see a relegation.

[edit] Beaten like Daniele Bennati.

 

[Moondance]

Degenkolb!

My 2nd CQ team win of the day.

 

[The Hitch]

Come on. Give it to JJ !!!!

 

[boomcie]

Doubts about Degenkolb being the winner apparently.

 

[Jamsque]

Farrar will inherit the win if Degenkolb is relegated.

why would i be joking. I didnt pay that much attention to the u23 worlds last year.

 

[Moondance]

Hm... Apparently the DQ is official now. Farrar gets the win, Matthews 2nd.

Is it? The ticker doesn't mention anything.

 

[Jamsque]

I think Moon is getting a bit previous there.
