Challenge Mallorca Jan 29 - Feb 01, 2015

[Christian]

uh which race did kirsch exactly win today?

Most combatative is my guess.

Not much really, but nice if it's your very first pro race. Atleast he's not scared.

Yes he did not win but got the sprint competition I know it's not much but better than nothing right?

A nice sprint with limited trains involved. Pelucchi was indeed impressive.
Note the nasty crash on the flat straight road at about 17mins. Up, down, corners, sh!te conditions, sunny days, cobbles, dirt, bunch sprint, yea crashes happens everywhere in pro cycling unfortunately.

The effort of Kirsch is nothing special, gotta remember we have 10 sprinters who think they can win this stage. Frankly, nobody with serious quality wanted to be in the break. Today could be a different story.

Coquard or Valverde FTW.

Kiri to solo to the finish line. If not for that odd pick, Jelle Vanendert if he has any form.

[Hugo Koblet]

Pretty nice effort by Boswell by the looks of it.

 

[roundabout]

Best Boswell result since about 2012?

Ah, he had a couple of 8th after looking it up.

And Cummings should try peaking for a little later in the year this time.
