Sorensen 8th, a super day for Saxo omg

Sorenson was in the first bunch (after the break had been caught) -- he went front for your boy... knew he's finish well.

 

[thirteen]

was this brodcasted?

nope.

RAISport2 will have highlights later on.

 

[virandociclista]

let's not forget that this was a MTF
harder than mende for example
LBL,lombardia...different things

If andy schleck can win LBL, AC can too!!

 

[Miburo]

and so it begins the great one's assault to the classics

Gilbert is getting scared

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Great win for Alberto and great win for Milano-Torino.

Ulissi is slowly, but steadingly, developing into a really class rider. Lampre should definitely make him captain in whatever he wants next year.

 

[Magnus]

YEAH !!!!

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't this the first one day race Contador won

He did win the 2009 national itt.

 

[trevim]

Velasco opens his classics record! Great result, I love when a rider wins something that isn't really his specialty. Also Betancour up there, this guy has to ride the Ardennes next year as a leader.

 

[Sylvester]

Whenever I read Velasco, I think of Ivan. Why is everybody calling Contador by his mother's name?

No full results available yet?

I know zam always calls him Velasco, didn't know others do it as well.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Seems like a pretty big gap

 

[sultanofhyd]

Seems like a pretty big gap

Maybe its the watermark, but he doesn't at all look like Contador to me.

 

[trevim]

Contador/Alberto/The Great One - that's how you call him on a stage race/GT.
Velasco - that's his super ego, the classics cannibal


On a serious note, I hope he's thinking something like: "Why am I waiting days and weeks to win something if I can win a race in just one day?"

 

[Descender]

He did win the 2009 national itt.

Lol wut.

That's actually a pretty good idea.

Seems like a pretty big gap

He seemed to have destroyed the field.

Contador with Ulissi and Kessiakoff.

 

[burning]

I totally forgot about that I sort of feel better as there was no live coverage

Congrats go Bertie, his first ever one day win I guess
