ENECO Tour August 17 - 24

I would also add M.Inglinsky from Katusha too.......

When did he join them?

 

[blaxland]

When did he join them?

Sorry Craig my bad......but i still think he can win?

I would also add M.Inglinsky from Katusha too.......

Now that you said it, he could be a good candidate for the win today.

If he'd actually competed.

And Astana (that's the team he's in) has Iglinsky in it's roster for Eneco, but that's his younger brother.

that doesn't even make any sense, as almost everyone from iceland originally came from norway

Well, we're talking recent generations here. Boasson Hagen has grandparents from Iceland or something like that.

 

[Cobblestoned]

I would put my money on Enrico Gasparotto today. (if I had something)

 

[insideout leadout]

Boom,Oss or Boss. If it was a +250km race then I would say Devolder but it isn't.

 

[Sasquatch]

Yeah

I backed Gaspa and Devolder.

An ideal situation - peloton breaks up big time, the selection is made and Gaspa is still in the break and has something left when they catch them. Must be why Greipel is in the break - hoping something like that happens so they can have a chance to be with the guys near the final two climbs.

my prediction is for an extra entertaining stage today!

 

[Cobblestoned]

my prediction is for an extra entertaining stage today!

Thats the whole problem I have.
Sitting in my BIBs here and I am very undecided, because the weather is really brilliant today. Nearly an absolut exception in the last "summer"weeks.
But I will wait, watch it and than go out for a ride later.

Stage with Oude Kwaremont is a must.

 

[Ryaguas]

So We have:

Devolder
Gasparotto
Boss
Boom
Oss

So far.... who pick another rider?

 

[Jamsque]

Martijn Maaskaant, perhaps? No idea what form he is in, though.

 

[Jamsque]

Gaspa is already in today's breakaway, so he is probably out of contention for the win unless a miracle happens.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Greipel in the break, too

 

[insideout leadout]

Warm day...must be close to 30.

 

[L'arriviste]

Warm day...must be close to 30.

It's 29 here but I still almost got fried out there at lunchtime.

 

[sublimit]

Gap crumbling very quickly, An odd move by Greiple, he's risking getting caught and spat out the back.

 

[Jamsque]

Dangerous group of five getting away here, EBH plus two rabos, an HTC (Tony Martin?) and a Skil.

Indecision in the bunch, Rabo and Sky blocking the chase.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Tuft is lost

 

[Kwibus]

Final starting nicely!

First group: EBH, Boom, Martin, Moerenhout and Geschke
2nd group: Devolder and others.

Turf 40 secs behind.

 

[Kwibus]

p.s. is there a live stream somewhere. At work can't watch :/

 

[Mellow Velo]

OK, so Wednesday, HTC waste Tony Martin. Today, he's off the front.

 

[Jamsque]

I am swapping between working and watching, I missed seeing how EBH got unhooked from the lead group.

they didnt show it, im wathching and im confused to hell as to who is where.

 

[Jamsque]

Martin and Boom (?) are up the road, chased by a Liquigas, and then a peloton which I am assuming contains EBH. Not really sure
