Durbridge-Quaade quinella looks certain now

Don't write off Craddock to get sandwiched in there. I'm going to continue to pump him up.
Can't say I know much about the U/23 scene (although that doesn't stop Ryo does it?) so if you say so. :D

What sites do you monitor for the u/23 news/results?

Is this the best circuit they could do? Looks pretty dull and some parts of the road are pretty torn down.

Its copenhagen, dont think its possible to find a kilometer long stretch of decent asphalt. The roads are horrid and patched most places. And city routes are never interesting imho. The scenery up north for the roadrace is nice (at least its nice to drive in, I have never seen it on telly :D)

Hahaha no worries.

No sites. Just follow them a bit during the season. Mainly CQ Ranking etc.

Craddock came second to Durbridge in the Under-19 Time Trial in 2009 by 2 seconds and came third to Jungels in 2010. He probably should have won last year, finished 28 seconds behind.

And he rides for Trek-Livestrong.

Craddock will medal today.

Plus he won the Junior US Crit, Road Race and TT last year. He would have been the smokey for the road race if the US selected him.

copenhagen too:p and what about those middle east guys on the street asking you "wanna buy some hashish?"where are them?

Well, the Hashish guys are mostly in Christania, even though Pusher-Street isnt what it once was. The hookers on the street in Copenhagen is most of the time sorry looking africans, that you dont want to view anyway (no racism intended, thats just how it is). The rest apparently stay inside the brothels.

But I dont get why they dont ride down on the waterfront and display the Little Mermaid and the Royal Appartments and the other stuff turists normaly see. I havnt even seen Tivoli on the telly yet.

I thought that woman with a pushchair was going step out then on the Zebra crossing.. I must admit this section of Copenhagen looks to be a bit of a dump. :eek:

thanks for the info,ney.some friend there told me about it.to me copenhagen is looking pretty boring,i have to say.

They could do a more picturesque route, but it would not be suited for a road TT. (Pedestrian-only streets = furniture, cobbles, dead end streets etc.)

Exploring Copenhagen as a pedestrian or casual cyclist is very nice.

On an international scale Copenhagen is a smallarse town. Even with the all suburbs its less than 1.5 million people. The old and interesting part of Copenhagen, is mostly a warren of small narrow roads that noone in their sane mind would want to use as a racecourse.

I would be hard pressed to make a decent racecourse that showcased Cpenhagen without closing ALL of the major inlet roads :p
