WTF weird result

Must have been a bit of uphill somewhere.

Edit: Full result up now.

Gaps here and there. Probably a bit uphill, but who cares about profiles and such.

 

[Netserk]

Map of the stage. I'm trying to map the final circuit.

 

[Netserk]

Okay this is not the correct circuit (as that is a little bit more than 6km), but it's the best I can do with the info from this:

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

So it was more a matter of bloat face than overweight?

Santambrogio V2

 

[Netserk]

Same stage as last year?

[Roude Leiw]

Same stage as last year?

I would think so, the only possible explanation of Degenkolb losing the sprint to Betancur is that it is uphill

[Afrank]

Wow, not the kind of finish I would expect Betancur to win. Great to see him take it nonetheless, definitely an impressive win. Looks like He'll be a factor in the ardennes.

Any video?

Tomorrow's final circuit (only one lap):

Thanks Netserk,

Ticker for the race here: http://direct.directvelo.com/live-course/1868/tour-du-haut-var-etape-2-.html

120km to go, break with about 5 minutes:

Johan Le Bon (FDJ.fr), Thor Hushovd (BMC), Jérôme Cousin (Europcar), Romain Hardy, Rudy Molard (Cofidis), Florian Vachon (Bretagne-Séché), Floris Smeyers (Veranda Willems) et Marcel Wyss (IAM)

Evans FTW? Possible.

 

[Netserk]

Could be 2 out of 2 for Betancur.

 

[Flamin]

Should be doable for Degenkolb to survive that final hill.

 

[Flamin]

lol, Hushovd attacked his breakaway companions with 60k to go now solo for almost 10k.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

lol, Hushovd attacked his breakaway companions with 60k to go now solo for almost 10k.

Just like the good old days. BMC FTW.

 

[pastronef]

peloton together now, Nathan Earle 3rd at the last hill, 14 km to go

 

[Netserk]

20" advantage with 5km to go.

 

[Netserk]

It's between Moinard (BMC) and Betancur (AG2R-La Mondiale).

 

[Jakob747]

Moinard wins the stage ahead of Betancur.

Betancur takes the GC.

 

[Netserk]

Moinard won the stage, Betancur the GC.

 

[pastronef]

nice win for Moinard

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Betancur must feel pretty good!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Moinard won the stage, Betancur the GC.
