Re:

What does 'Mitico' mean?

Italian for legendary

Perhaps like the TG in TGBM

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Tom Pidcock just won Tour Alsace. No Remco. But still.

Previous winners: Schachmann, Lucas Hamilton, Pinot, Kelderman, .... Tiernan-Locke

 

[Finn84]

Benoît Cosnefroy (AG2R) won Poly Normande ahead of TDE stagiaire Valentin Ferron. Damien Touze (Cofidis) won the sprint for 3rd.

 

[Wvv]

Awesome. Attilio Viviani, Elia's younger brother and trainee at Cofidis, wins the Schaal Sels.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

The Hamburg classic seems more selective than usual. Ackermann well and truly dropped while Viviani has been off the front in a group with Sagan, Trentin. Inside last 10 km and back together now but a small peloton

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Viviani wins comfortably from Ewan. He's got great form right now

 

[RedheadDane]

Pretty good day to be called Viviani.

 

[PunchingRouleur]

Viviana on some monster form

 

[RedheadDane]

And meanwhile Laporte just won Tour Poitou-Charentes. However, being the nice guy he is, he only won 3/5 stages.

Random post:
We were just leisurely travelling on some side roads through Italian countryside today, when I noticed a cycling team car parked by the road. Then a car with some flags and race logos drove by. I started to suspect there might be a race going on somewhere there. And immediately in the next village things started to be more serious with more race cars and motos passing and marshalls standing by the roads. So we parked the car and curiously peeked up the road what would come. I expected some local Italian amateur race. How surprised I was when the break rode by and I saw jerseys of Tirol, IAM, and even AG2R teams! (although that turned out to be just their feeder team Chambery CF)

I quickly checked PCS to find out that we were most lucky to cross roads with stage 2 of Giro della Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia (2.2). What a coincidence! I must say I was quite happy about that.

For the record, the break made it to the finish and Tirol rider Patrick Gamper won. Chambery CF had Clément Champoussin in the break and because they were in the lead after stage 1 which was a TTT, they did not need to chase down the attackers. Never expected to see this particular race, but - it just happened

I know the Hafjell TT is just a tiny little race, but hihi!

(Maybe Foss was the only Norwegian in the race...)

Actually, on closer inspection the really cool part about this is not the number of Danes, but how young everyone in the top-10 is.

(Part from Quaade.)

Sprint about to be launched in Brussel. Usual suspects and Groves is there as well, the kid is rapid.

 

[DNP-Old]

Sprint of the dying swans that. 6 men on one line.

Yeah, that was a great finish. Ewan won ahead of Ackermann, and then Philipsen/Demare 3rd/4th I think.

Edit: Apparently Philipsen was indeed 3rd but Ballerini finished 4th, Stuyven 5th and Demare 6th.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Not the first time Kristoff loses Philipsen's wheel, just to be outsprinted by him in the end.

 

[F_Cance]

Would like to see the official photo finish. Not that shot from the top or that other pic from the side. They really should have shared it.

Riabushenko wins Agostoni in a two-man sprint against Lutsenko.
That is, he wins Coppa Agostoni, he did not win the earthly remains of Ugo Agostoni. I mean… I hope not...

 

[WKA311]

Very nice win for Riabushenko, dominated that sprint against Lutsenko.

 

[roundabout]

pcs has Rebellin in 18th, so I am guessing he won't be retiring just yet?

He's in talks with Epowers Factory Team for next year. He could even ride the Giro (if allowed).

Who, Riabushenko? I thought a one-year extension was announced a couple days ago

 

[RedheadDane]

Rebellin, I believe.

 

[SafeBet]

Yep, I was talking about grandpa.

Wow, never mind. I just found out about the new "ignored content" filter. I didn't even see that you quoted a post!

Bauhaus wins Coppa Bernochi.
Bad crash in the finale.
