[hrotha]

Why would kennaugh care about the trophy of a race that absolutely no one in the uk has absolutely no idea about

 

[Hugo Koblet]

So what happened?

 

[trevim]

Sérgio Sousa wins Fléche du Sud a.k.a. the only stage race won by Andy Schleck! That was quite unexpected, I never really understood why he went to ride abroad so late in his career but I'm happy he won

Some notable winners:
2013 Michael Valgren (DEN)
2012 Bob Jungels (LUX)
2006 Geraint Thomas (GBR)
2004 Andy Schleck (LUX)
2001 Bradley Wiggins (GBR)
1999 Kim Kirchen (LUX)
1990 Alex Zülle (SUI)

Any confirmation of this incident happening?

 

[TMP402]

Tour de Picardie Stage 1: Bouhanni ahead of de Busschere and Holst Enger. Sadly McLay finished 17th, presumably unable to swerve his way to the win.
Tour of Iran Stage 1: Connor McCutcheon (Team Illuminate) from a small group also containing Stefan Schumacher and closely followed by young Oleg Zemlyakov.
Grande Prémio Internacional Beiras e Serra da Estrela Stage 1: Prades ahead of Wackermann and Shilov.

Veloso lost nine minutes. And in ten weeks he will annihilate everybody once again. It's so ridiculous.

Bouhanni wins again, ahead of McLay and Guardini.

Tour of Iran Stage 2: Peter Koning (Drapac)

He managed solo and hold of 4 Iranians by almost 5 minutes

 

[TMP402]

Tour of Iran Stage 3: Derk Abel Beckeringh (Parkhotel Valkenburg Continental Team) wins two seconds ahead of Edwin Avila and Oleg Zemlyakov - the three finished 2.27 ahead of the peloton. Koning retains the lead but lost nearly 3 mins to Zemlyakov, who is now only 19 seconds behind him.
Tour de Picardie Stage 3 and GC: Kenny de Haes wins in the sprint ahead of Holst Enger and Reza. Bouhanni finishes 10th for reasons unknown, but wins the race overall.

Tbf people here do know about paris roubaix, but only as the race where the train incident happened (and obviously that's train gate 2015, cycling didn't even exist back in 2006 )

Dehaes in great form these days, maybe even better than he was at Lotto in his prime! Dupont really needs that pro contract now...

If only Lotto wanted another lead-out man....

 

[TMP402]

Also wins for Verandas on consecutive days after Kruopis at Ronde van Overijssel.

Samad Pourseyedi (Tabriz Shahrdari Team) wins Stage 4 of the Tour of Iran and goes into the overall lead. The big MTF awaits him tomorrow.

I think you mean Mirsamad! thhis was to be expected, I expect him and some random other Iranian to finish 4 minutes in front of McCutcheon

 

[Squire]

The great Mirsa is at it again!

On last year's Tour of Iran MTF, this happened.

 

[TMP402]

Ghader Mizbani (Tabriz Shahrdari Team), soon to be 41, wins Stage 5 of the Tour of Iran, but Pourseyedi comfortably extends the lead from 6 seconds to nearly 2 minutes.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

This is a surprisingly cosmopolitan Tour of Iran though, obviously Mirsamad and Rahim Emami are obliterating everybody in the mountains, but Conor McCutcheon and Stefan Schumacher showing well as well. Not the usual level of domination from the home teams.

Tabriz are making a habit of making the big gaps the day AFTER the big mountain though.

 

[classicomano]

It was a nice little team time trial today. Great win for 40 year old Mizbani.

Peter Koning is doing well too!

 

[TMP402]

Mirsamad Pourseyedi wins consecutive Tours of Iran. Yvegeniy Gidich (Vino 4ever SKO) won the final stage.
