Re:

Bennett with an incredibly long sprint.

Bizaare, but smart - 1,5 km sprint, which even out does Colbrelli's. Chapeau Prades!

Re: Re:

I understand that Pelucchi is leaving, as he should given that he will never get a chance to sprint again where he is. Anyone know if he has signed anywhere?

no, there were some rumors about him replacing Mareczko at Wilier (or whatever the name will be next year), but the other day he said that he'd be still looking for a new team - and it didn't sound too promising

I am surprised if he’s having difficulty finding a team. I know that times are tough for sprinters who just don’t quite have top tier speed. We are in an era when there are more very fast sprinters than ever before. But Pelucchi is both good enough to pick up the odd win and also a good domestique (as shown today).

Pelucchi is actually really fast. His problem is that he can't get over a speedbump. He makes Kittel look like Pantani.

yes, if he can motivate himself for smaller races, he could be a force in the Asia Tour though. Mareczko has taken something like 40 wins over the last couple of years, and most of those races should also be suitable for Pelucchi

The second option. Feltet.dk's expert Emil Axelgaard even called it in his preview: "han vil derfor formentlig rulle til mål bagerst i feltet på alle etaperne (he will most likely roll across the line in last place on all the stages)"

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Démare and Ackermann surprisingly bad.

 

[Breh]

Van Der Hoorn wins the Sluitingsprijs.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Man I'm really impressed with Van der Hoorn this season. He only had 20 race days because he was out for a long time after a concussion.
And then he wins 3 races in the few months that are given to him.

One more stage than expected - What a joke !

Hmmm, this race is not on UCI calendar this year... But it was live on Eurosport?

Nothing at the Vuelta , late fro the Hammer Series and now DNF
Bet BMC are happy

Compare that to Nibali who had a worse injury at the Tour ??

Re: Re:

Yes, they are happy. He's going to Trek

 

[RedheadDane]

Jakobsen won stage three of the Tour of Guangxi. Because of course he did!
Stage 1: Third.
Stage 2: Second.
Stage 3: First.

 

[Jagartrott]

72th QS victory this season

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

And also new leader, since Groenewegen was only 4th (doesn't seem to do well in rain I noticed)

 

[Lequack]

Who made the Tour of Turkey and Tour of China WT races? They're really a borefest, at least this year.

Re:

Stage 3: First.

Stage 4: Zero?

It's about cash.

He'll finish before they start. Pulling a "Team Easy On."
Think he might be finishing about now.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Moscon wins the uphill finish on stage 4. Grosschartner 2nd, Chernetzki 3rd

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Well he is the best puncher.
I mean puncheur..

 

[Velolover2]

I'm glad he won it. Winning Tour of Guangxi is like losing.

 

[Velolover2]

But I have to admit, the finish looks pretty cool. It's like a Tekken arena.
