[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Eastern Smell Tour? You should fix your spelling soon.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Well, the route's changed about as much as usual, then.

Should be decent, but most of the action will be limited to the last few km each time. Hoping the Alpendorf stage can be good though, with the cat.2 less than 30km out.

 

[CQmanager]

First stage race serving buffet in the middle of each stage

Im hoping with you! Except for the overall that should either go to il killer or Pozzovivo aswell.

[greenedge]

Are there time bonuses for each stage.

3 horse race between Di Luca, Fuglsang and Pozzovivo i think.

As you should know by now, team info is much more reliable than entry lists.

Looks like a nice race. But if I try to watch any of this, in addition to the TDF, I fear my wife will divorce me... I'll have to make do with highlights I think while she is at work

 

[Sophistic]

the Sonntagberg is short but very steep with some 20% ramps.

I am aware of that, just disappointed

 

[Fetisoff]

Stage 4 would be so much better if it was raced in the opposite direction. I guess this is going to be decided by the Kitzbuhler yet again.

Hoping for Arroyo and Betancur to show good form.
Also maybe Kolobnev to take a stage somewhere. Hoping it's not gonna be too hot, and Spilak can show something

Glad there's some coverage this year, for example Kitzbuhler stage should be much more exciting than stage 2 of TDF

 

[plooton]

Movistar bringing the strongest squad. One of the guys could win it.

 

[El Pistolero]

Vermote to win the time trial.

 

[asdfgh101]

Ending with three flat stages???

 

[plooton]

The penultimate one should be TT.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Ending with three flat stages???

Tends to be the case with the Österreichrundfahrt, because they are another week-long race fixated on the "final day sprint in the capital" formula, meaning they more or less have to run west-east, meaning all the mountains come early on in the race.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

We are under way in Austria.

After 55km, a four-man break has an advantage of 6'30.

The Four are:
Yoann Bagot (Cofidis)
Matthias Brändle (Team NetApp)
Laszlo Bodrogi (Team Type 1-Sanofi Aventis)
Riccardo Zoidl (Arbö Wels-Gourmetfein).
