[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Peloton complete with 2 ahead, I’m hitting the sack so if you want updates whoever’s reading this I won’t be there.

Anyone got TV coverage for the Japan Cup?
I thought I saw it being listed as being on ES (Player), but now it isn't.

 

[RedheadDane]

Anyway, gonna be a sprint in Malaysia. Wonder if we'll get to see it.

Powless was big in Japan tonight.

Chrono des Nations is up later. Ellen van Dijk is the huge favourite in the women's race, where Amber Neben is scheduled to make a rare non-championship appearance in Europe. The mathematicians Anna Kiesenhofer and Vittoria Bussi are also there among others.

The men's race features big names like Foss, Küng, Bissegger and Stéfan Bennett, the King of Guadeloupe. It will also be the last race of Alex Dowsett's career.

There are also junior and U23 races on during the day, where Eglantine Rayer, Joshua Tarling and Søren Wærenskjold are likely winners.

He must be able to secure a pro contract for next Season after this win!

He looks like any cyclist in their early fifties. Impressive that he‘s still riding at such a high level. Then again, the late Marco Pantani also looked like that when he was racing.

Segaert demolished everyone, including Waerenskjold.

He's on a roll this fall. Becoming one of the biggest U23 prospects. Still a first year's.

A while ago Trentin could be seen in the front talking to Kasper Andersen who looked a little stressed like you would expect w stagiaire guys, a little hectic and anxious to do a good job. He has said he would not mind to stay under 23 next year too but otoh has raced a lot for UAE and I think they want to sign him.

Also nice to see Hellemose who has had a difficult first year.

A couple of next year's neo-pros making a good impression so far. Vacek showing some nice puncheur ability, and my first time seeing Busatto.

A climb for the diesel climbers.

Busatto not a neopro, Intermarché Devo Team.

Thanks. I was just going by what Rob Hatch said on the commentary about him joining the WT.

 

[RedheadDane]

Küng gets some revenge for the World's.

 

[postmanhat]

This will be Formolo's first win in over two years if he takes it. Wouldn't have anticipated that when he joined UAE?

Except, it's Hirschi who just won.

Marc Hirschi, Formolo...UAE Good Show!
