Dubai Tour 2018

[WheelofGear]

Astana and Baharin are finally waking up.

McNulty is not gonna make it if they are serious.

 

[WheelofGear]

Not a huge peloton. Any of the sprinters gone?

 

[WheelofGear]

Kittel and Groenewegen dropped on the two small climbs but they can easily come back on the flat.

 

[Baldinger]

McNulty is going to win the race.

 

[WheelofGear]

Kittel and Groenewegen are back. All the sprinters are there.

If Groenewegen can recover, he has a good chance of victory.

Re:

Now it actually look like it.

Terrible tactics by Baharin and Astana. Only Trek were doing some serious work.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Lol that's brilliant. Just what this race deserves

 

[WheelofGear]

He is gonna take the stage and the overall.

Steppers fail. Not even working for Viviani's overall.

Re:

Exactly what i thought, lol))

 

[WheelofGear]

Steppers only waking up in the last K but now it's too late.

 

[WheelofGear]

NOOOOOO!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

That was heartbreaking to watch

 

[WheelofGear]

Catch in the last 50 metres.. Man, this is tragic.

Poor, poor guy.

 

[repre]

That's why i love cycling so much! Poor McNulty, he gave everything...His time will come soon.

 

[Velolover2]

He only needed one second more to make it.

And Colbrelli is the new king of mini muritos.

 

[LosBrolin]

Such a great effort by McNulty.

 

[Baldinger]

A bit too steep for Cort.

 

[torcia_86]

Re:

Looked like he just started his sprint from too far behind. He actually gained quite a lot of positions during his sprint.

 

[Jagartrott]

Re:

I think he ended up 20 seconds or so behind Colbrelli. Seems like most here underestimated that last ramp.

 

[Brullnux]

McNulty started to go hard way too early, he completely underestimated the last climb. He was giving it his all at the flamme rouge, and there's no way he can going at his threshold for that long with a 17% ramp at the end.

Also to the cn live ticker: Brabantse Pijl is slightly bigger than a hatta dam sprint

 

[Velolover2]

Re:

A bit too steep for Cort.

No. Actually perfect for him compared to the other sprinters.

But Colbrelli is apperently the best on those.

I think he didn't even bother to pedal after getting catch. Getting catch in the last 50m must be terrible.

Yes, looking at the replay, he's coming from way behind
