75. Tour de Pologne, 4-10 August (2.UWT)

[More Strides than Rides]

About three times in that sprint I thought Kwiatkowski had gone too early and looked to be fading. But he held in there.

Impressive by Ackermann!

Apparently Bora only hire sprinters who can climb a bit. No Kittel / Groenewegen / Marezcko / etc types need apply.

And gone home.

Does anyone have all the names of the breakaway. The twitterliveupdates are extremely slow to say today. Think I Saw Costa, Verona, Agnoli, Vervaeke, Owsian and Konrad, but still missing some names

Correction :
@LottoJumbo_road rider in the breakaway is not George Bennett ( even though we're keeping fingers crossed for him too!), but Lars Boom

Do you have just now broadcast at Eurosport? In Poland only at TVPSport.

 

[Jagartrott]

I'm watching the Polish broadcast. Maybe I can up my language skills.
Ty jestest gruba krowa.

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

Excellent, but "jesteś"..

 

[Jagartrott]

I once had a Polish girlfriend and asked her some useful phrases - where's the toilet, my name is <>, you're a fat cow. You know, the usual.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sam Oomen and Devenyns in front with 8,5km to go

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

LottoNL killing it... just helping Kwiat

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

Oomen may take it.

[rick james]

good finish to that stage

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Great win by Preidler.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Great finale!

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

Big Kwiato fault. What was he waiting for?

 

[skippo12]

Buchmann is my dark horse podium finisher for the Vuelta. He probably will never win a race but is a really impressive diesel climber.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Teuns screwed up there, bringing back Bennett for Kwiatkowski. Kwiatkowski then threw away the stage by not going.

Nicely played Pinot and Priedler, although the celebration was too early and nearly resulted in an embarrassing loss.

 

[Gigs_98]

What? Preidler won? What happened?

 

[Sestriere]

Yates lost the win by bottleing the last turn, I'd say.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

What? Preidler won? What happened?

Select group after a lot of attacks. Then Pinot tried to accelerate and everyone responded, then there was a moment of hesitation and Preidler attacked, and he won.

Perfect timing and team play from Groupama FDJ
