Re: Lesser Known Race Results 2018

The Taaramäester is back

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I'd like some credit for picking out Dan Whitehouse, but I completely whiffed on Bizkarra and Taaramäe. Did not expect signs of life from either of them, let alone both 0_O

 

[May0maniac]

Did Rein suddenly find some of his his Astana training camp watts?

[Forever The Best]

Nice to see Cerler and Taaramae back.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Aragon - great scenery, good racing, awful field.

Bizkarra has been racing well all the season.

Re:

What a boss Greipel is.

Horrible TV work not showing the sprint for second and more importantly, Greipel's gap.

Just watched this. Fun to see Greipel winning after being in the break and making a solo attack

Re: Lesser Known Race Results 2018

Tour of Norway stage 1

1 Dylan Groenewegen Team LottoNL-Jumbo 4:33:54
2 Sondre Holst Enger Israel Cycling Academy ,,
3 Jon Aberasturi Euskadi - Murias ,,
4 Pieter Vanspeybrouck Wanty - Groupe Gobert ,,
5 Trond Trondsen Team Coop ,,
6 Kevin Deltombe Sport Vlaanderen - Baloise ,,
7 Jeroen Meijers Roompot - Nederlandse Loterij ,,
8 Alan Banaszek CCC Sprandi Polkowice ,,
9 Evaldas Siskevicius Delko Marseille Provence KTM ,,
10 Kristoffer Halvorsen Team Sky ,,

Don't know why Groenewegen started here and not in California. Well, a lot of easy wins in flat stages coming I guess

 

[DNP-Old]

Halvorsen with Sky is just a mess thus far.

Re:

As a sprinter you should just avoid Sky at all cost. Go to Quick Step or LottoNL atm.

 

[Squire]

Halvorsen was all alone in the final. Was fighting with Banaszek for Groenewegen's wheel and took a lot of wind while doing it. In the end he got a bit boxed in and couldn't do anything.

About 5 bike lengths for Groenewegen. Ofcourse in this field that doesn't say anything

Intxausti DNF once more. He is done. Mononucleosis is a ***.

It has hit him as hard as the Swedish tennis star, Robin Söderling who also had to end his career after having been top five in the world until his disease.

Such a pity.

Mono is no joke. I think Thor Hushovd suffered from it aswell for the last two seasons before retierement too.

Boom's been thrown out of the Tour of Norway for doing a particularly accurate impression of Terpstra

Couldn't have picked a more perfect day to do it

 

[RedheadDane]

Edvald Boasson Hagen has a pretty cool way of celebrating his birthday, which also happens to be the national day of Norway.
By winning a stage in the Tour of Norway

A very anti-horror crash occurred today in the Tour of Norway.


I think he might be okay.

5? Looked like less than one, though he did sit up a bit. Probably could have won by a bike length or maybe two if he'd kept going through the line.

Sorry, might be the lack of sleep, but I don't get it?

The CCC rider (Pawel Bernas) sees a crash in front of him and climbs off his bike and sits down on the ground like a diving football player.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

And the 3rd stage in Norway goes to Groenewegen, easily in front of Hagen and Holst Enger

Re: Lesser Known Race Results 2018

Yeah!! Even easier than last year at the same finish line that by the way is quite hard, I think is in the limit for a pure sprinter, although Groenewegen despite his bad climbing is very strong in uphill sprints of around 0,5 Km at 5 % gradients or so.
