Good win, but then Bounhanni should be dominant in this field by now.

This week sees a major battle in the war for the most uninspiring 2.1 race, I honestly think WPC is better.

Without crosswind, WPC is worse that a paint job and they invest in live TV production giving us the full view of motorways etc. I seriously don't get.

Spend some live TV cash on a few of the key stages from L'Avenir instead.

Great race for him, against some not half bad sprinters.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Waldorf: "These guys aren't half bad..."
Statler: "No, they're ALL bad!"

(sorry this isn't meant as disrespect to the riders, just your comment reminded me of this)

thats one of the problems with some of these flat stage races these days. If just one solid sprinter shows up, even the last 5 minutes of action gets predictable and repetitive.

So Nacer for 3 or 4 wins?

 

[Ferminal]

So, Bouhanni wins again, but 22km is too long for him even with a 40 second head start.

yea, the likes of Durbridge, Dowsett and Larsson should be able to crush him over the distance.

 

[roundabout]

Looks like Tommy V has been practicing his ITT.

Bouhanni tried his best:

30 BELKOV Maxim Katusha Team 1:17 47.336
31 LöFKVIST Thomas IAM Cycling ,, ,,
32 BOUHANNI Nacer Equipe Cycliste FDJ.fr ,, ,,

Avg speed for Voeckler is 49.535, so unless this was tech/hilly much more will be needed in Italy.

If he's on shape, he could be very dangerous for the road race imo

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Pretty good effort by Durbridge when you consider his preparation...

I had a rough start to my time trial. When I was warming up, I began to have gear trouble and the mechanical issues continued from there. We didn’t have enough time to sort things out, so five minutes before my start, I found myself sitting on the start line on my road bike.

Inside a minute of my start time, I had to jump on Jens Mouris’ bike. We put the seat down quickly, and that was the only adjustment we had time to make before I had to take off or miss my start. I had no power meter or any indication of speed. Not only did all the issues before my start mess with my mental preparation, I had no way to gauge my effort, which was a huge challenge.

[trevim]

I thought Jose Gonçalves could surprise a top10 in the TT.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

very good result by young u23 sepulveda. finally coming around this season after crushing the american pursuit record with 4:14

 

[jsem94]

How did Voeckler just win a TT? Seriously. Neither Ignatiev nor Larsson should lose to him. Ever.

 

[Parrulo]

Meh he has been itting pretty bad this season to be honest.
