[theyoungest]

This point of his career would be Gesink's second season as a pro. The start of it

Yes. Exactly. That was Paris-Nice 2008.

 

[El Pistolero]

Yes. Exactly. That was Paris-Nice 2008.

It didn't start yet

I'm expecting some nice things for Sagan at this P-N and I need someone to cheer on in that race I guess. Although he would be better of doing Tirreno-Adriatico if you ask me.

oh, I can also cheer for Luis Leon Sanchez. Can profit once again from a mistake made by Contador

But anyway I thought you were referring to the Ventoux stage at the Dauphine 2009.

 

[Havetts]

Thats where Gesink was 3rd behind Moncoutie and Fuglsang(?), where he attacked and 'dropped' the favorites.

No he was fourth in Ventoux, Smyzd won, but only because Valverde waited for him to come past him.

You're referring to a later stage which was coined as the queen stage of that Dauphine.

 

[Havetts]

Was that with Colombiere? Oh and now I remember, Szmyd won and Valverde let him win because Szmyd helped him on the climb but then had mechanical problems in the last 2 kilometers .

 

[The Hitch]

No he was fourth in Ventoux, Smyzd won, but only because Valverde waited for him to come past him.

Twist it any which way you want, the fact is Szmyd became the only person to ever beat Valverde in a one on one, mano a mano sprint.

Gilbert has beaten Valverde in a mano a mano sprint in LBL of 2012
