Int. Österreich-Rundfahrt-Tour of Austria - June 30 to 8th

[search]

I can imagine Frank and Hushovd results In Austria are making a few people in BMC feel uncomfortable.

Frank obviously peaked for the Tour de Suisse and is still in decent shape, he wouldn't be a factor in the Tour when it comes to the decisive stages in the end

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Average speed for the first two hours: 51,5 km/h

Small break finally happened after about 100km

5 minutes now.

Ignatiev/KAT, Paterski/CAN und Frapporti/AND

All is not lost in France today, could still be action.

In any case DSs can feed the TdF crowds almost anything.

 

[Ferminal]

Katusha are doing a disservice to the Tour by not bringing mighty Mikhail.

Does anyone actually know the details of the finish "climb"? The profile seems a bit Turkeyish.

 

[roundabout]

2.5 km at 12%. Bit of cobbles in the last 500 meters where it flattens out.

A to B on the map

´Come on the Tour is a 3 week race. After the Pyrennes the breaks will have a very hard time to go away and it'll be awesome

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Christ, Frank wins again.

Brutal form.

Awaiting results....

7 seconds gain for Zoidl on Seeldraeyers

 

[Zam_Olyas]

BMC having a great time.

 

[Afrank]

BMC Austria doing better than BMC France.
Nice result for Majka as well.

 

[plooton]

Looks like Zoidl the biggest favourite for GC. But hope Seeldrayers will squeeze the best of him in TT.

 

[spalco]

I would be amusing, and quite a bit of karma (as well as being good for the future of the race) if Zoidl actually managed to be the first Austrian winner in five years, and sch.ORF wasn't there to show it live.

yeah, would be just so typical ORF - da könnten sie sich nur in den Ar... beißen.

Zoidl has great team mates in Kvasina and Eibegger (who worked very hard onstage 4) it seems.

Stage 6 coming up:

Difficult, but it can be raced or maybe everybody will wait for the TT.

 

[trevim]

Zoidl seems like this year's JTL...
Anyway I hope there's still a chance for Majka to take a stage win.

 

[roundabout]

Don't knock the guy who will keep Euskaltel WT for another year.

 

[karrotten]

BMC Austria doing better than BMC France.
Nice result for Majka as well.

Yep look like having fun in Austria

BMC Austria 3 BMC France O

 

[Ferminal]

Were obviously worried about Frank dropping their "leaders".

 

[Sophistic82]

isnt dyachenko a pretty good tter?

lol

isnt dyachenko a pretty good tter?

previous results indicates Zoidl and Dyachenko being on a similar level. Seeld isn't a great TT'er.

Since we have no live TV production, I hope the locals will be out in force to cheer for Zoidl during the TT, it could be really exciting. Close call.
