Euro road championships

[France_En_Marche]

Tough race to call, Denmark look to have the strongest team and could force a sprint. Favourite for the race is Kristoff but I'm interested to see what EBH's role will be.

 

[alexix7]

Someone know if is leader Kristoff or EBH ?

 

[France_En_Marche]

Bouhanni not riding for his adopted nation?

 

[France_En_Marche]

Belgium have the firepower to send dangerous riders up the road, EBH to follow or stay with Kristoff?

 

[France_En_Marche]

Mezgec or Keukeleire for me. EBH obviously hard to beat if he rides for himself.

Y'all can drop the talk of skin colour.

It should be quite obvious why.

No talk of race guys, only of the race.

Sagan will win the gc in Holland, guaranteed.

Read yesterday in a norwegian media that they will both sprint for themselves and not help each other

Very good field in the Netherlands. I'm looking forward to the racing there, it should be very competitive.

Viviani has the best possible lead out train (Cimolai,Ferrari,Guarnieri and Sabatini) but I think he'll struggle with the distance and lose some watts in the end.
Kristoff vs EBH could hamper Norway's chances while Sam Bennett hasn't got a team at all. Coquard could be a factor in the finale.
Cort Nielsen for the win.

EBH with wheel change, Belgium flat out at the front. Italy in trouble, Viviani behind, whole team dropped down to help.

105km to go though..

 

[gorgos]

1.40 from the peloton down two EBH/Italy/Viviani-group.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Got any intel on how Viviani ended behind? Wheel change as well?

Echelons.

Re: Re:

Echelons.

Yup, and EBH was caught behind the Viviani-group due to the wheel change.

The peloton catching the 3-man break shortly, EBH/Viviani 50 sec behind now.

 

[gorgos]

Cyclingnews live coverage is not actually watching the race?

"Truls Korsaeth (Norway) and Torkhil Veihe (Denmark), with some help from Davide Ballerini (Italy), are leading the peloton as they chase the break.

All the big-name leaders seem happy to sit in the peloton and wait for the final laps and then expected high-speed sprint finish."

Korseth and Ballerini is working in the chase group, behind the peloton.

 

[MatParker117]

Gap is coming down Viviani group now 40secs back.

 

[Baldinger]

Wow, the motorbikes giving lots of pace to the Viviani group.

 

[markene2]

Damn i forgot how much i love Denmark the wind is always strong there

 

[Cance > TheRest]

The Belgians are very unlucky with punctures ...

 

[gorgos]

All together, EBH and Viviani back in the peloton

 

[Baldinger]

but it's also the land of flat tires.
