Clásica San Sebastián 2010 - 31 July

[Jamsque]

The three leaders working together well.
Gesink now forced to do all the work uphill.

Hey, if he's willing to crucify himself on the front of the group all the way up the hill you can't expect the other riders to argue with him.

 

[Ferminal]

Go Bobby!!

 

[ericthesportsman6]

Gesink attack, everyone responding. Down to 30 seconds

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Wow Gesink is good

 

[Beech Mtn]

gap down to 28 seconds with Gesink's push

 

[sublimit]

That is a good turn by Gesink. The other riders just hanging on.

 

[python]

gesink single handedly took 10 seconds off in less than a km !

 

[ericthesportsman6]

gap at the top down to 22 seconds

 

[superconfex]

Gesink is a strong boy..really needs someone to hone his potential

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Hesjedal completely in the red zone due to Gesink's work

 

[Jamsque]

Gesink has brought six within reach of the front three, now they need to absolutely bomb down this descent.

 

[Bala Verde]

Hesjedal seems to have killed himself.

 

[Ryaguas]

Vino FTW! He looks strong... He doesn't look tired!

 

[Ferminal]

Gesink dropped Porte, Moreno and one more..?

Edit: Only those 2.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Vino needs to lead on the descent if his group is to stay away

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

On the downhill / flat the lead trio are winning again.

Logical really. If only....

 

[tgsgirl]

Vino FTW! He looks strong... He doesn't look tired!

Yeah, he hasn't look tired since what, March?

 

[Ryaguas]

Vino leading the descent!!! Booooyaaa!

 

[Ryaguas]

Yeah, he hasn't look tired since what, March?

Since Tirreno - Adriatico! hahaha He is a machine!

 

[Jamsque]

On the downhill / flat the lead trio are winning again.

Logical really. If only....

Cue another round of "Well TECHNICALLY Gesink did the fastest ascent of the XYZ, even though he didn't end up winning, so REALLY he was the best..."

 

[Ferminal]

Porte made it back... he looks like death.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

It doesn't help that dead tired guys like Richie Porte are returning. They cannot contribute much, being pretty much dead

 

[thrawn]

porte rejoins the 2nd group.

 

[tgsgirl]

Since Tirreno - Adriatico! hahaha He is a machine!

Sure. That's it.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Cue another round of "Well TECHNICALLY Gesink did the fastest ascent of the XYZ, even though he didn't end up winning, so REALLY he was the best..."

No not at all. He wouldn't have been the best, but with a bit more luck he could be up there. Same story different day
