55th Tour de l'Avenir, 17/8 - 26/8 (2.Ncup)

[woodburn]

Those guys lost time due to being off pace or due to crash?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Gregaard & Covi in the break? Almost at the finish.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Covi wins.
The peleton nearly caught the break in the final straight, i assume Covi managed to stay ahead of the sprint.

1 Alessandro COVI (Italie)
2 Mark DOWNEY (Irlande)
3 Simon GUGLIELMI (France)
4 Zeke MOSTOV (Etats-Unis)

Re:

I have a soft spot for the Mongolian rider of the UCI WCC team, Tegsh-bayar Batsaikhan, a track cycling guy. in 2016 he became the Scratch Junior WC with 5 months of training and pretty much no knowledge of track cycling before coming to Aigle:
"It is a fantastic result for this 18-year-old athlete who prepared for the Worlds at the UCI WCC. The Centre’s coaches detected the young Mongolian’s talent when he attended a short training camp at the WCC satellite centre in Korea in 2015. After studying the data from his performances on the Wattbike (stationary training bike) the coaches contacted the Mongolian Cycling Federation at the beginning of 2016 and invited him to join the trainees based in Aigle."

Durning the Winter he's at home, but there isn't a velodrome in Ulan Bator, so the guy is training on the road with -20 to -30°C, he's hard as nails.

Cool! Hope he makes it to WT.

Re:

GC after today is nearly the same, except that Covi gained 5 seconds on the peloton, and Gregaard gained 3 seconds.

[slosada]

change "Daniel" for "Cristian Camilo".... Same time, though.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I have no clue what has happened on the first 6 stages apart from Denmark winning the TTT, but I will be looking forward to the next 4 stages in the mountains. Always very interesting!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Shame this thing is not broadcast

Re:

Last two stages will.

 

[DNP-Old]

Time limit is 12 minutes tomorrow.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Re:

But the stage is only 35km as well.

 

[Escarabajo]

Re:

They will probably change that.

Re: Re:

True, but still very low with two major mountains.

Fixed GC for you

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Re: Re:

Fixed GC for you

If you say so. I took the recommendations from an earlier page.

 

[DNP-Old]

Tons of riders getting dropped already.

 

[DNP-Old]

I'm confused. Directvelo making it seem like Vanhoucke has attacked, while the official Tour de l'Avenir Twitter says he has dropped.

Re:

Is it televised?

I get what you're saying: sauté can have two opposite meanings: jumped or exploded

Re: Re:

Nope, only a liveticker: https://www.directvelo.com/direct/3839/tour-de-l-avenir-etape-7. Last two stages will be televised though.

They seem to be using it consistantly, for who has been dropped = "laché" and those that have attacked = "sauté" though.

 

[del1962]

Sounds like Colombian train

 

[del1962]

30 in the main group pulled by Colombian train

Stevie Williams dropped
