Is Odd Christian Eiking an Odd, Christian Viking?

[SafeBet]

6 GT leader's jerseys are quite a lot for a Norwegian rider.
In fact only Hushovd has more in his career (13).

This guy?

Trond Svendsen (procyclingstats.com)

@YavorD! For ***'s sake! Help us, before we turn this into the "Who is 'Svendsen'?" thread!

I was referring to playing Pro Cycling Manager in season 2013 , signing Oscar (!) Svendsen. Him being a top talent in 2013 is not a secret, I guess, makes it really possible to be world class (in the game) in 2018. However, sorry about the confusion. Just got nostalgic playing with the mentioned 3 and at least some of them finally achieving something.
Oh, just for the record, Cort was becoming one of the best sprinters..

Is Odd keeping the jersey till the Lagos de Covadonga stage?

Yes

Well, I thought you meant that in 2018 - in the real world - those guys were becoming world beaters.

The interview today after the stage was golden. He had planned catching up with the favorite groups on the descend but crashed.

He also said there is more racing to do. He looked more pumped today after the stage than all the days in the jersey. I am curious to see if he will try another breakaway even. Crazy but fun.

 

[Red Rick]

Really good fight today tbh. I expected him to drop a lot more than 9 minutes when he crashed.

Yup, and with only one teammate for support. I was impressed.

Without the crash I think he would still be around G.Martin in the GC. When he crashed he was together with De Tier and De Tier caught the big group and finished the stage just 20sec behind Martin.

I don’t think he would’ve made it to top 10 in the end anyway, but then it would’ve been a GC fight until the end. Now I kind of think he might ship 15 minutes today to try get in the break on stage 20.

16s behind Grosschartner in the ITT for a top 10 position can he do it?

Probably not very likely. He probably never had much reason to ride hard in TTs, but results were very bad

I would like to claim ownership of this pun, as I came up with it 2 years ago

No, his ITT is really not good.
And Grosschartner is a pretty solid TTer.

Let's just hope the pointy arrow can stay on the TT bike and bring it on home.
