Within 2 km, a half minute gap? Not bad.

and sergio already showing his class in europe
Seen the GP Quebec last year? He was very strong there as well.Kvinto said:It's interesting that Gerald Ciolek became somehow stronger on the non-sprinter's terrain. 13th on Willunga TDU stage (+0:43) and 10th today (+0:57)...

Ciolek always was like this.roundabout said:Ciolek has always been better than an average sprinter on the hills. I expect him to be even better on the hills this year...
You already said he had great form... why? For the Mallorca Challenge?maltiv said:Have to say I've never been so happy about a result in Challenge Mallorca!
Nordhaug is an awesome guy and it's so good to finally see him deliver according to his potential. Even if it's just a small victory it will definitely boost his confidence and his status within the team.
theyoungest said:You already said he had great form... why? For the Mallorca Challenge?
Basically because it's the first time since he had mono that he's had an off-season without being ill all the time. He certainly didn't plan to be in top shape by now, which I hope he isn't either. I guess Julich (who became his coach this year) has created a good plan for him.theyoungest said:You already said he had great form... why? For the Mallorca Challenge?

He won the worlds U23 in Salzburg, in a group that contained Gesink and Vanendert. Ciolek himself made the split on the hill there...

I may be wrong, but I think I read somewhere that Porte and Froome will have the same race programme as Wiggins, thus not including the Ardennes (or maybe it was Porte and Rogers?).hatcher said:They gave him some freedom in some of the one day races last year, so you gotta hope that Gerrans leaving will give him a bit more freedom this year. Uran should clearly be the main man, with probably Froome, but Nordhaug should be there in the next tier with Henao. Then the likes of Lofkvist, Porte etc.

Uran, Nordhaug, Lovkvist, Henao would make a pretty decent quartet.
