Lesser known races results 2014

[Ryo Hazuki]

I see, I don't know a ton about him since as far as I know most of his racing has probably been in Colombia. What kind of rider is he?

he was with boyaca track team and he's a puncher. completely different from quintana who isn't explosive and also less natural technical

 

[Sykhrzon]

The list is up..

Uran ftw!

 

[SafeBet]

Modolo's a fast kid, yet he doesn't have the head of a champ, and tends to get very discouraged in a blink.
Maybe he'll get better with the years, and will become a nice classic rider...maybe.

Very promising start of the season.
Moving to Lampre probably helped his confidence.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

will also be interested in sebastian henao. hope they don't kill him in sky. he has tremendous talent

Just heard that EBH was the fastest rider up Puig Major on Sky's training camp, so perhaps it's not such a bad bet anyway...

Apparently EBH himself believes he can be competitive today:

- Hvor sterk er motstanden her nede i denne typen terreng, tror du?

- Den er absolutt stor. Det er mange gode klatrere og eksplosive ryttere her. Jeg føler meg bra og det bør være muligheter i morgen, sier Boasson Hagen til procycling.no.

I would be very impressed if EBH can follow the climbers today, think puig Major might be too long for Edvald. My bet is Costa or Uran.

A classics rider in good shape can sometimes challenge the climbers on Mallorca, I remember Langeveld doing well here once as well.

 

[del1962]

How long what % is the climb?

 

[Bushman]

yea, but it looked like nothing to me.

How did it look like nothing? Meersman clearly blocked Swifts path.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

After km50, group with 6:30.

Kangert, Vakov, Belkov, Piedra and Megias.

Ticker-ish:

Bushman, it looked like nothing to me. But then I favor using a bit of muscles in bunch sprints.

 

[del1962]

7 minutes lead for the break:Kangert, Vakoc, Belkov, Piedra & Megias with 50 km to go

Win going to the break?
