Nice one.
I was hoping someone would start a thread.
The biggest ever field, but whether there will be any actual race coverage, this year, I know not.
Two years ago, French, Direct 8 tv had live coverage of each stage from the host broadcaster. The video link of the Queen stage, broke down, so they missed Antonio Colom taking victory.
Last year, it was only 15 minutes of late night highlights.

So far, for this edition, I can't even find highlights coverage.

I wonder how many times they will go over the Puerto Soller, this year?

Are you guys seeing profiles above? I posted the images differently than I usually do and I notice I'm only seeing them on one of my machines and not the other.

OOps, i forgot to include the words "more than". As a result i fail

Or alternatively i can save myself by pointing out that hes not yet confirmed and i think he wont get any points.

Trofeo Inca

Spiderman FTW. Or Venom.

Yeah, Di Luca back with Giampaolo Caruso, Juan Horrach Ripoll, Petr Ignatenko, Sergei Ivanov, Vladimir Karpets, Alberto Losada, Daniel Moreno, Artem Ovechkin, Egor Silin, Maxime Vantomme and Eduard Vorgano for teammates.

 

[Mellow Velo]

What the ***k is that. Dolomite profiles dont even look like that.

La Vuelta needs to visit its islands.

Puig Major is just about the biggest climb Majorca has to offer, since the mountain is the highest peak. It certainly is a grind, but not cruelly steep.
That profile is a bit silly.
24km at 6.2% is not to be sniffed at, though.

I'd like to see them tackle the ascent from sea level, to the top of the Sa Colobra climb as an ITT.
That one is a bit wicked.

Henao's on Indeportes Antioquia-"Orgullo Paísa", not Café de Colombia.

 

[djlovesyou]

Farrar just won.

 

[will10]

Farrar - Kittel(!) - Ventoso

 

[djlovesyou]

Kittel isn't a massive shock. He's obviously in decent shape, he was sprinting fairly well in Langkawi.
