Eneco Tour 2014 (2.WT), 11.08 - 17/08

[l.Harm]

Vanmarcke should be working for Boom

 

[Afrank]

Dillier goes.

 

[Tournesol]

16 Km's to go. Groups has thinned out, and they are checking each other out (checking for others conditions and possible moves that is).

Trentin and Lastras are ahead at 52 seconds.

Thanks. 10 char

 

[Afrank]

Lastras attacks Trentin.

 

[SafeBet]

Can they make it?

 

[gthx_gthx_]

Can they make it?

It looks like it 1 min with 8k to go. But they still have to cooperate for that.

 

[SafeBet]

Giant now drilling it, gonna be hard for Trentin and Lastras.

 

[Afrank]

Gap fallen to 36 seconds with 5.6 to go.

 

[Netserk]

Gap fallen to 36 seconds with 5.6 to go.

Gap completely gone

 

[Netserk]

Meh, a bunch sprint on the Muur

 

[Afrank]

Gilbert attacks.

 

[LosBrolin]

GVA takes the win!

 

[cineteq]

GVA takes the win!

What? He's not 2nd?

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Van Avermaet!!!!

And Dumoulin second?! beating Boom, Thomas etc.

 

[gthx_gthx_]

Van Avermaet , great sprint !!

 

[kingjr]

Too bad, wanted Brutt to hold one like in the Giro 6 years ago.

 

[UselessToo]

Greg, a true champion!

 

[Afrank]

Nice win for GVA.

 

[Arredondo]

1. GVA
2. Dumoulin
3. Brutt
4. Breschel
5. Thomas

8. Pozzato
9. Gilbert

Dumoulin the big favourite to win this

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Dumoulin leads in the GC now I guess, taking a few seconds + boni's on Boom.

if he's stepped up this much compared to last year, tomorrow will be a sight to behold in the Ardennes, which should normally suite him better than today.

 

[willbick]

on a finish like that do they still apply the 'finish in a group get the same time' rule? because they shouldnt imo

 

[kingjr]

Belkin doing all that work for nothing at all. Should have let the group ride and hope they take the bonus seconds.

 

[gunara]

No gap between Dumoulin and Boom??

 

[willbick]

No gap between Dumoulin and Boom??

why do they apply the 'group' timing rule on slow uphill finishes? surely all riders should get an individual time, down to 1/100 sec

 

[RedheadDane]

1. GVA
2. Dumoulin
3. Brutt
4. Breschel
5. Thomas

8. Pozzato
9. Gilbert

But nobody in sixth or seventh.
