Eneco Tour - 8th to 14th August

[RedheadDane]

The Norwegians may not own the cycling world but EBH definitely owns the Eneco Tour.
Eeh... Eddy. Heard about sharing?

It was his own fault, he went through that corner too fast. If he didn't go through that fast, he wouldn't have fallen, but he might have not been positioned as good... Anyway, "woulda, coulda, shoulda"...

Let's ban the emotions!

Flemish national champion jersey would be the coolest of the whole peloton

That would be one positive thing if Belgium ceased to exist

Grinding victory for EBH at this tour. He has never looked comfortable but his form got better and better.

This was just a warm up for an autumn of classics - nice to come away with a WT win out of it for him I suppose.

I expect to see something very good from him in at least one or two of -

Vattenfall, Plouey, Canadax2, Lombardia.

Lombardia? Don't think so.

Lombardia? Don't think so.

That's the cheeky one on the list - if he has decent form, I definately think he could have a decent go at a solid placing.

Depends a lot on the new course. But there are still races like Paris-Tours, Milano-Torino or Giro del Piemonte for him.

 

[Tank Engine]

Well, at least Millar and Gilbert had a go, but with the last decent climb 60km what do you expect. Bizarre parcours for the final stage. Congratulations to EBH though.

Nicely done Eddles

Phil SECOND? Outrageous. At least he got that stage win.

EBH did well to keep it upright today, considering both the guy in front and the guy behind him crashed out.

I think we can now stop talking about Eddie's huge potential.

He's got more to come though. 2 springs completely written off to knee problems, he hasn't ridden the classics injury free since he was 20/21, I hope next year he gets the chance of show what he's really got.

 

[Midnightfright]

If he carries on like this I could well see Eddie becoming the nxt Andy Engels. I mean if he really continues improving.

Yeah... been quite a while since he was on another spot than the topspot on a podium, right?
