Spot the mistake on the startlist for Almeria!

Hint: Look at the local WorldTeam.

A certain young American can't be riding in two races on the same day, surely? ;-)

"Jorgenson"... "Jørgensen"... same-same...

 

[tobydawq]

Hodeg down and out.

 

[RedheadDane]

Is it just me, or did it look like Garcia Cortina was actually (briefly) checking up on him? Nice show of sportmansship if that was the case.

 

[wirral]

Hodeg out of contention (crash). Opportunity for Cavendeesh at Almeria?

 

[wirral]

Cavendeesh "mechanical".

 

[titan31]

Another crash

 

[titan31]

Another crash

And another. Jesus it's destruction derby out thefe

 

[Wvv]

Lots of crashes unfortunately.
Cavendish mechanical?

 

[RedheadDane]

Nizzolo takes it!

Also, Cavendish sitting next to Walscheid and Norsgaard looks positively ridiculous. He barely reached past their hips!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That was a great example of how not to televise a sprint. Nizzolo two levels above the rest.

 

[BlueRoads]

Poor Alvaro... this sucks...

(But my son kind of brought a smile on my face again, commenting on the first three pictures of guys on PCS: Nizzolo "looks like a marriage breaker in a bad love story", Sosa "looks like the naive guy who brings the final turn in a story", Bauhaus "looks like someone who would do everything for success"...)

 

[RedheadDane]

And apparently the Jorgenson/Jørgensen snafu wasn't the only mistake. Look at who Gazprom has listed, and then look at who was 10th!

1	NIZZOLO Giacomo	Team Qhubeka ASSOS	200	125	4:18:44
2	SÉNÉCHAL Florian	Deceuninck - Quick Step	150	85	,,
3	LAAS Martin	BORA - hansgrohe	125	60	,,
4	ABERASTURI Jon	Caja Rural - Seguros RGA	100	50	,,
5	DUPONT Timothy	Bingoal - Wallonie Bruxelles	85	45	,,
6	VAN POPPEL Danny	Intermarché - Wanty - Gobert Matériaux	70	40	,,
7	CULLAIGH Gabriel	Movistar Team	60	35	,,
8	THEUNS Edward	Trek - Segafredo	50	30	,,
9	SARREAU Marc	AG2R Citroën Team	40	26	,,
10	CIMA Damiano	Gazprom - RusVelo	35	22	,,

Yeah, I'm pretty sure exchanging one brother for another mid-race is against the rules!

 

[Netserk]

Pretty *** rad 3rd stage in Tour du Var:

(h/t ammattipyöräily)

 

[RedheadDane]

Gaudu wins Ardeche.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Enjoyable race as always.

Carthy needs to work on his descending.

 

[RedheadDane]

Enjoyable race as always.

It was televised? Why couldn't they have provided a stream for the ES Player? They did last year...
Yes, I'm currently watching the third race in a day, and I'm mad that I didn't get to watch four.

It may be that this race was only broadcast on L'Equipe TV, who's producing the coverage.

But why would they be such evil meanies and only allow French people to watch the race?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Another win for a DQS Italian!

 

[RedheadDane]

And another guy on the podium, just because they can.

Poor Vakoc, though. Doesn't even get to have his entire name on the result list.

 

[Bonimenier]

Nice victory for Bagioli. Looking forward to see him in the Ardennes classics.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Nice victory for Bagioli. Looking forward to see him in the Ardennes classics.

Yeah, they could be great for him, if he has the endurance. Aru finished ahead of Fuglsang in a one day race, now I've seen it all...

CX works wonders.

 

[armchairclimber]

Nicely done Bagioli.
