Hot racing coming up in Australia

Re: Re:

Anyone know when UniSA will announce the rest of their team? Dyball a chance?

No Dyball. --- Cameron Meyer, Callum Scotson, Lucas Hamilton, Michael Storer, Jai Hindley, Nathan Earle and Samuel Jenner.

So riding in BMC kit at Nationals TT didn't end up preventing Scotson's selection for another team in a race that BMC is also racing.

Callum Scotson rides for BMC development team, Miles Scotson rides the TDU in the BMC team.

UCI rule:

Article 2.2.001:
Riders belonging to teams with the same paying agent or main partner may not compete in the same race except in the case of an individual event. Furthermore, no more than one national team of each nationality may compete in an event. In addition, the participation of both a UCI WorldTeam and the development team supported by this same UCI WorldTeam in accordance with article 2.15.130 is prohibited. Likewise, the participation of both a UCI professional continental team and the development team supported by this same UCI professional continental team is prohibited.
The teams which are concerned by articles 2.2.001 and 2.15.130 are following:

It then gives a long table of those impacted, including the BMC development team.

IOW Callum Scotson, as a member of BMC development team may not race in a race in which BMC is participating.

Hence my original statement assuming this rule breach was resolved.

Article 2.2.002: Except when they do

Looks like the TDU will be streamed live on the WWOS (9) website.

Might be geo blocked.

So Matt White says the bulk of the TDU squad will be at the TDF - Have to guess that Gerrans, Impey and Durbridge are certainties - Who could be the other one or two riders.

Damien Howson is a chance if he keeps building on the form he showed last season, he finished 2 GT's and was a hard working valuable domestique in both of them, seems to work well with Chaves so maybe he follows him wherever he goes.

Could be a chance - The inference from White's statement is Chavez is riding the TDF - Though at the same time Orica is a hard team to read.

So after that presentation for TDU and Geraint Thomas's interview looks Sergio Henao is really up for this race and is in top form, Also thought Keldeman sounded eager. Gerrans too was psyched but wonder if the climbs might be abit too hard this time round

Chaves and Sagan looked like they were there for the sun and the fun...but since both are so talented they can still do stuff..but would not be surprised if just 'training'

At what CET hour will start the cancer classic?

Thanks.

I was not aware of that rule so I'm with you Callum Scotson shouldn't be eligible to ride.

Thanks for the heads up...not in HD but it will do

Big Stannard looks like the Mountain from game of thrones

 

[rick james]

Wee Caleb takes the win

 

[Karaev1]

Sagan was third and Bennett second I think... Crazy speed from Sam Bennett in the last meters...

 

[claude cat]

Fairly comfortable margin too.

 

[yaco]

Seemed like Sagan was leading out Bennett, but somehow Bennett lose Sagan's wheel in the last 300 metres.

 

[Flamin]

Giant and Abu Dhabi litterally look exactly the same
