59th Jayco Herald Sun Tour, 2.1 - 12th to 16th October 2011

[Ferminal]

Like today! Sounds tough, no break after 30km.

 

[Tugboat]

Twitter/Facebook update from Pure Black Racing half an hour ago has Tim Gudsell plus one other rider having a 6min break (no indication of km raced).

 

[Tugboat]

Gap is down to 2 minutes with 45km to race (was out to 8 minutes). Still don't know who the second rider with Gudsell is.

 

[Spare Tyre]

Does anyone know what prompted Porte's DNF yesterday?

Does anyone know what prompted Porte's DNF yesterday?

He had some nasal surgery last week. Not sure why is was racing really.

Anything on twitter for #jhst ?
I'm in a twitter-free environment today.

 

[Tugboat]

Gap (Gudsell and Jongewaard) is 52 seconds with 20km to go.

Doesnt look good for them. Field sprint ?

 

[Tugboat]

Looks like it could be.

Although Herald Sun Tour have tweeted... "Nice little rise up to finish of stage 2 of #jhst".

I wonder how "nice" that rise is??

 

[Tugboat]

Race together with 5km to go.

poor Course & profile info on the website. Would like to see Tim hold them off but in reality they will be caught before the 5km to go I would think.

 

[Tugboat]

Kittel wins.

 

[Teddler]

HeraldSunTour twitter:
Winner of stage 2 is Jansen Van Rensburg

 

[Tugboat]

Correction: winner was Jansen Van Rensburg

(first tweets froma number of sources indicated Kittel).

 

[Teddler]

Presumably Kittell 2nd, am hearing Tom Palmer 3rd

 

[Jono L.]

SA guy
Kittel
Von Hoff
Palmer

 

[Teddler]

Correction:
HeraldSunTour twitter now saying:
Van Rensberg
Cooke
Von Hoff

 

[Tuarts]

Do not underestimate Reinardt Janse van Rensburg.

Great Odin’s raven! Good Call

How's the studying and recovering going?

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Bit of a come-down for Kittel!?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Never heard of Van Renshburg. Nice win for him I guess.

Good good. Cheers got a couple of blogs up lately, after a decent hiatus

Wouldn't mind racing though... especially the triple arthurs seat stage!
