I was considering MR for CQ as a bargain

 

[Arredondo]

Nice to see Arredondo 4th, in a much stronger field then last year. A nice ending with Team-Nippo for him.

Pinotti will go all in methinks.

Don't you just go with everyone who has ever been nice to Alberto?

Pinotti will go all in methinks.

Probably, but against T-Mart he has no chance in hell, even in his last race.

 

[jsem94]

So Cunego shows there's some life in him? Or just awful competition and end of season.

 

[jens_attacks]

it is well known that cunego had his best form in japan cup over the years

 

[Dazed and Confused]

snippedd..

Le Bon continues to do well in long TTs.

 

[roundabout]

Small(er) gaps

 

[The Hitch]

Wow, 14 seconds is that it.

That is absolutely nothing over 1 hour 10 minutes. one third of a percentage point.

 

[jens_attacks]

expected from panzerwagen to be tired though, if i remember correctly he won almost every itt this year..

arrivederci pinotti!...

yes he only lost to spartacus in the vuelta and also the MTT in the tour i guess

CdN result as expected:

In the U23 race, Ryan Mullen, a first year U23 rider, put well over a minute into the runner up. Seems like a real talent.

yep. looks good. Where is he rider next year. Same team?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Yes I think so. He turned 19 less than a month ago, I think, so probably not ready for a bigger team. IG Sigma Sport seem like they get a decent enough race calendar, but I have no idea how good they are at developing kids.

Traditionally the biggest Irish talents head off to French amateur teams, and nowadays An Post provide a second route. I think he's the first to try signing for one of the British Conti outfits. Probably that wasn't viable before recent times. It's a good sign that he's hammering much older espoirs at a race like this, but of course there's a lot that can go wrong between being a huge talent at nineteen and having a top rate pro career.

Like a lot of riders who are the outstanding under age talent in a small country, he seems like an all rounder probably because the talent pool isn't deep. So the one guy who is actually properly good at anything is also the best at everything else.

 

[Ferminal]

Was probably better at the Worlds.

 

[gooner]

Yeah, his worlds was probably even more impressive, all in his first year at U-23 level.

8th Tour of Hainan (2.HC), Stage 2

1 BOS Theo Belkin Pro Cycling Team 30

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Just after I posted the above, he announced that he signed for An Post.

Kinda feel sorry for them really, they should be on holiday and instead they have to do (and probably win) 9 stages of this **** race. What a pathetic way to increase the team's number of victories...

I highly doubt any of those riders actually wanted to race. Hopefully it won't affect them too much next year.

 

[happytramp]

He also completed the course with a higher average speed than Tony Martin........... okay, so it was 13k shorter but still not bad for a 19 year old

Sinkeldam rode there last year, and found out he was a sprinter. It didn't hurt him. Plus, where else can you get .HC-wins so easily?

And cycling in 30 ºC on the Chinese Hawaii against some local club riders probably isn't as bad as you make it seem.
