Lesser known races results 2014

[Hugo87]

Lol, he almost lost

Bike throw power.

 

[ILovecycling]

Lol, he almost lost

Yeah,look at his leadout man behind him: "Oh sh:t,2nd again"

 

[christopherrowe]

That's an interesting photograph, and I would have guessed from it (incorrectly) that Lokosphinx's Sergey Shilov was third instead of second. What am I seeing there? He's just getting ready to throw his bike ahead of the Euskadi rider across the line?

 

[Ricco']

This one it's probably the best, you asked.

The break after Sanremo seems to have affected him quite a bit. Looking to this stage it seems that he isn't in peak already, but seems to be near the top. I predict a 2nd place already in the next sprint stage and then, finally, the return to the 4th place, in perfect time for Le Tour.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Yeah,look at his leadout man behind him: "Oh sh:t,2nd again"

Who seems to be a dead ringer for Will Wheaton.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I don't often follow the 2.2 races, but had a bit of a look at the Ras website this morning. Amazed to see no less than 36 teams listed: is this commonplace at this level?

Who seems to be a dead ringer for Will Wheaton.

Oh my,it will haunt me for a long time I see.But thats my fault of course,if you want to know my explication,read my recent post in that thread please.

[roundabout]

Heh, another French SSR Demare-Sinkeldam 1-2

Coquard MIA

 

[roundabout]

Another unexpected 1-2 finish

[jsem94]

Gilbert 4th. Huh.

 

[roundabout]

Slightly uphill finish

 

[Dazed and Confused]

So Demare is now on 6 or 7 wins for the season. Sure we are talking SSRs and a couple of minor GCs, but it ain't bad.

Could he grab the yellow jersey on the hilly Yorkshire stage?

 

[Gloin22]

No.

Sagan is there.
