[Afrank]

Can someone give me a feed? Mine just switched to some kind of news report for no reason.

 

[roundabout]

Pretty good by Greipel to get through the wall of people to the front quite quickly.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Wow.............

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Chapeau Renshaw

 

[roundabout]

That was pretty sweet though

 

[Broth3r]

Yes, yes, yes. I LOVE these sprint-busting attacks.

 

[SafeBet]

What a move by Renshaw. Teams completely collapsed there though.

 

[Shardi]

Perfect place to slip away, chapeau

 

[all_in]

Renshaw was brilliant!Very happy for him.

 

[roundabout]

A friendly camera bike did give him a hand.

 

[royalpig180]

That was amazing! Chapeau to Renshaw, made a truly boring stage worth watching...

 

[roundabout]

Too bad for Cobo that Lampre might collapse

 

[Kazistuta]

Apparently ENECO tour isn't the time to get Maxim Iglinskiy back in contention it seems.... Together with Wiggo.

 

[barmaher]

Fair play to Renshaw. Textbook jump away from the peloton.

 

[RedheadDane]

That's gotta be the longest sprint I've ever seen!

Cav will have nothing to worry about anymore.


Chapeau to Renshaw, it's about time.

 

[murali]

Was it a sprint or just plain leadout for an imaginary Bos?

I think the sprint teams need someone strong enough to take care of such attacks.


This is my first time following this race. Can any one tell me why there is no mountain jersey for this race?

I suppose it might've got something to do with the lack of climbs...
But of course; Tour of Denmark has a 'Hill Jersey', so why not Eneco?

 

[manafana]

I wouldn't be surprised to see him lose time most days, no need to fight for position in the final of typical Eneco sprint stages.

spot on with this, advised against him in this nice start.

Ever been in Holland?

 

[Roderick]

Ever been in Holland?

There are enough hills in Belgium that can be categorized so there can be a "mountains jersey". I think it has something to do with the fact that a race only is allowed to have three jerseys outside the leaders jersey and they decided to have an intermediate sprint-jersey instead

EDIT: But it seems there isn't a jersey for best youngster either, so what I said doesn't make much sense. Perhaps they just prefer not having a mountains jersey instead of having one that is almost decided on one day

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

outside Limburg there are hardly any hills in the Netherlands, at all. Maybe around Nijmegen (groesbeek, zeven heuvelenweg) and Utrechts heuvelrug.. and kopje van Bloemendaal. They are very scarce at least

He said Belgium

 

[manafana]

bit more uphill this finish today sohuld be a real interesting run in

 

[zigmeister]

Finally saw the last 2km of the stage. LOL. He jumped through the curve section, came out of one turn on the gas and opened up 100m in like 15 seconds. Everybody was looking around stunned and was like, uh...now what??

Nice win.
