Durbridge wins the TT and takes the overall lead at Tour du Poitou-Charentes

I think the "hilly" stage is still to come, but it should be a matter of few seconds at the most that could be gained tomorrow.

Of course, he's left at home for L'Avenir and the Worlds by the ever brilliant Vierhouten.

i hope the movi guys go for it, 3 riders in the top 10 within chance of winning. same for europcar

 

[roundabout]

It's not that simple. There will be plenty of fast finishers interested in keeping it together.

 

[theyoungest]

And Durbridge can climb a bit. This race is over. If Jesse Sergent can survive the hilly stage, then sure as hell Durbridge can.

 

[roundabout]

I missed the final stage, but Ventoso won and Durbridge finished 4th to secure the overall.

[Ryo Hazuki]

I got the name wrong

no, he's a tagiare and a not so talented one at that. f'n amazing

 

[jens_attacks]

so how the hell did emanuelle beat reda and bosisio in a sprint?

 

[Peccio89]

no, he's a tagiare and a not so talented one at that. f'n amazing

He is really in a great shape: also in 3 Valli Varesine he was in a breakaway showing quite good climbing skills.
And in the GP Capodarco in the middle of August, one of the most important italian .2 races he was 4th.

Hopefully Kump will be given lots opportunities at Saxo next year.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

The Baltic Chain Tour was on between the 21st and 25th of August. It was the second time the race has been held, and the first time that it's UCI ranked (2.2). This is an interesting little Tour, crossing the Baltic countries. Unfortunately, the UCI ranking seems to have made the field a bit weaker this year, with the likes of Navardauskas missing.

Gediminas Bagdonas (An Post Sean Kelly) completely dominated the race, winning three stages and GC. He won two bunch sprints and then also from a small select group. This brings his season's tally to nine wins so far.

In other APSKT news, Old Father Time, Niko Eeckhout, won Schaal Sels (1.1) on the 26th, his second win of the season.

Navardauskas was in the entry list with the Lithuanian national team but his priority was Denmark with Garmin. So he was able to ride the race.

No need to blame UCI for everything...
