Stage 1 break decides the JHST again

Stage 1 break decides the JHST again

...which is what used to happen in TDU before it went WT.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

so Orica clocks up the first win of the season.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

So how did this break manage the 21 minute time gap?

[Dazed and Confused]

So Ewan's first proper Orica win. Not exactly A level competition, but a win is a win.

 

[RedheadDane]

Uhm, got a question regarding the podium-photo. Assuming they're all standing on the same level, otherwise Ewan is really short.

 

[Ricco']

So Ewan's first proper Orica win. Not exactly A level competition, but a win is a win.

What's the difference between Ewan win and the one obtained by Cam Meyer the day before?

 

[Gloin22]

What's the difference between Ewan win and the one obtained by Cam Meyer the day before?

None? He said ''Ewan's first proper win''.

That's it. The difference between Ewan's win and the one obtained by Cam Meyer the day before is that one was won by Ewan, while the other was won by Meyer.

Uhm, got a question regarding the podium-photo. Assuming they're all standing on the same level, otherwise Ewan is really short.

Ewan is 1.65 m (5 ft 5 in)

Interesting to see this OLD thread reappear. There we were a couple of years ago spruiking Caleb Ewan and he is now winning for OGE. I am a real fan of the Go Pro vision that OGE have been playing with, the vision from Robbie McEwan back in one of his final races was great to watch.

OGE have let or asked young gun Ewan to put one on his bike and out of two goes, he wins two stages. Check out the vision at Backstage Pass
http://www.greenedgecycling.com/backstage-pass/

Talking about his height, look for his head appearing whilst sprinting, he certainly gets down nice and low, much like Cavendish.

If you watch Caleb Ewan- the Jet prior to Stage 2, then watch the Stage 2 highlights it is a great contrast.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Ewan is 1.65 m (5 ft 5 in)

 

[Jancouver]

Ewan is 1.65 m (5 ft 5 in)

No way he is that tall. Maybe wearing his mom's high heels

For the second year in a row, @clarkeywilbur wins the #SunTour prologue. @CalebEwan second, @neilvdp third.

 

[Ferminal]

For whatever a 2100m race is worth...

Looks like the Sky GC remains undecided, Froome appears to have some form although finishing behind Henao and Kennaugh who already showed themselves on the weekend. Honestly Froome/Kennaugh should 1-2 regardless.

I'm guessing one of the Praties boys (Cooper) to be next best. Maybe Haig.

Yeah, but Froome finishing behind young Sebastián Henao is still a bit surprising.

Norris could also finish high up, tomorrow could be interesting with basically no flat roads and some tricky twisting roads so a break could stick

Not surprising, its a tight circuit which wouldn't take much for something to go wrong so why would Froome risk it when he's only here at his sponsors request. I don't think Froome wins this race anyway

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Any predictions for tomorrow?

 

[Spider1964]

Look for one of the young Aussies to go on the attack over the last KOM... Robbie Hucker, Chris Hamilton, Lucas Hamilton, Pat Lane, maybe Haig, but he'll more than likely be on leadout duties for Ewan.

 

[TMP402]

Apparently Froome and Kennaugh attacked with 19km to go, and held off the peloton. I'm not seeing any links to live coverage online.
