Re:

There is headwind on the climb so that is not so good for the attackers

Mihai says cross-tail, so thats good news. Well, not for Dennis...

Who/what is Mihai????

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeah, the weather has changed. I just read the same as well.

@Kazistuta: well known twitter account from a guy who knows a lot about cycling

I think he goes by the name of jens_attacks on CN, but its a person who tweets a lot about cycling and knows what he is talking about basically

Yes, it's jensattacks.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

So when Emil Axelgaard on feltet.dk writes headwind in his extensive analysis, he is wrong? I'd like that after seing what headwind did to the race yesterday i OHN.

 

[Sestriere]

Do they really have a canoe slalom in the desert??

Well, I dno, but the other update is more recent, so I guess thats more correct. But Emil Axelgaard knows his cycling as well.... lol.

 

[Samamba]

Why the f*ck is Eurosport not going live. Nobody cares about the 30 km's before the climb.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Oh ffs Eurosport.

Re: Re:

I think Valverde will try to crack Kelderman earlier, Dumoulin could be a big help for Kelderman though...

We will don't know if Dumo is willing to sacrifice himself for Kelderman but right now it looks like their best shot at the overall.

Dumoulins reaction reads he is not done with this race yet. He felt good.

edit: looked positively pissed

What are you talking about? He is clearly cheering and very happy that his first victory in the WC jersey is not in a s*** race such as this.

 

[Salvarani]

anyone got live stream?

Re: Re:

I just wrote to Emil in the live update but he maintains there will be a headwind and doesn't understand the rumours that there will be a tailwind.

It seems to be dependent on which wheather site one looks but he seems to be right.

It wouldn't be the first time he is wrong about the weather, though. That is by far the aspect he most often makes mistakes about.

 

[tobydawq]

Sprinters on fire in the break.

 

[WheelofGear]

Who are we talking about? Lots of Danes in here talking about someone I don't know.

I'm Dutch but I have family in Aalborg which I can see one of the posters is from. I rode on the steepest hill I could find called Frydendalsvej. I think it's similar to Hatta Dam.
