Iberostar Challenge Ciclista Mallorca

[maltiv]

Not an easy task for Costa with Sky and Radioshack having 2 riders each.

 

[Froome19]

Yea, the hardest. If it comes to a sprint i say Costa vs Henao vs Velits

EDIT
Wrong already seems Velits gets dropped

and herrada and bulgac
now only 3 teams being represented in leading group. Will costa be outmanouevered? Will sky go for Henao or Nordhaug. Who will radioshack go for?

 

[maltiv]

Nordhaug could attack on the descent I guess, he's a former mountain biker and has won a cyclocross race, so should be fairly good at descending. But Henao is faster in the sprint.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Machado come on

 

[hatcher]

Go on, Nordhaug my son.

 

[Froome19]

Nordhaug has gone alone!!!!

 

[maltiv]

Come on Nordhaug, honor my incredible prediction!

 

[jens_attacks]

nordhaug like a boss!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No way. Machado come back and win please

 

[hatcher]

Nordhaug wins.

DElighted.

 

[kanari]

Nordhaug's first pro win! Love it!

 

[jens_attacks]

sky will have a hell of a season!nordhaug is a beast

 

[stefrees]

Excellent result for him

 

[hatcher]

Nice call, Maltiv.

2 wins in 2 races for sky
for Nordhaug arguably one of the weaker members can put in such a demonstration shows Sky's incredibly depth.

 

[shalgo]

1. Lars Petter Nordhaug (Sky)
2. Rui Costa (Movistar)
3. Sergio Luis Henao (Sky)
4. Jakob Fulsang (RadioShack)
5. Tiago Machado (RadioShack)

 

[Froome19]

1. Lars Petter Nordhaug (Sky)
2. Rui Costa (Movistar)
3. Sergio Luis Henao (Sky)
4. Jakob Fulsang (RadioShack)
5. Tiago Machado (RadioShack)

Radioshack will not be happy.

 

[hatcher]

And Puccio 6th for Sky too.

 

[theyoungest]

. Lars Petter Nordhaug (Sky) 3:55:27
2. Rui Costa (Movistar) a a 26
3. Sergio Luis Henao (Sky) a 28
4. Jakob Fulsang (RadioShack) a 35
5. Tiago Machado (RadioShack) a 45

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

 

[Froome19]

6. Salvatore Puccio (Sky) a 57
7. Xavier Florencio (Katusha) m.t.
8. Jeremie Galland (Saur Sojasun) m.t.

seems like velits group got caught. Since when could Puccio climb like that?
As mentioned earlier Sky are going to decimate everyone this year.

nordhaug is not weak,he never had the means to prove all his potential,he's strong trust me,we'll see this season

and sergio already showing his class in europe

 

[FF'Wilco]

Three in top six, impressive by Sky and great win for Nordhaug. Might be his break through season.

Yeah I think Nordhaug is one of their more underrated riders, not weak.

And Henao has now shown well in two of his first three races this year. Looking good.

Indeed, a VO2 max of 90 doesn't lie.
