With that look, you know he/she is certainly being scolded about something!If that's Rait Ärm, he should be DQed for puppy paws.
First stage of the Baltic Chain Tour and Rait Ärm got the stage and yellow jersey after a sprint in a small group. A great day for him, many riders would give their right arm to win a big race in their own country.
Don't say that. At least Eschborn-Frankfurt has put options in there for any outcome other than a sprint and has a history which involves many other outcomes, it's just any possibility of any other finish has gone away completely as it became so likely it would be a sprint that more or less everybody with a chance of winning that way sends a full sprint team and nobody else thinks they have a chance so don't even bother anymore.Today we have the Bemer Cyclassics, basically Eschborn-Frankfurt but at a different time of year, and we have a break 5 minutes ahead with about 140km left.

In Bemer, the Waseberg is actually not that far from the finish line, so I’m referencing that both try with some hills, but don’t work.Don't say that.

I guess you could argue that, yes. In fairness, the Cyclassics organisers have utilised what they have at their disposal, the Frankfurt organisers have a lot more at their disposal, but the need to finish in the city centre (and the Finanzplatz group insisting on the circuits) has completely killed the value of those obstacles. They need to go to the east of the city and use that short but very steep ramp in the Enkheim area to have any chance of restoring anything but a sprint, but they're too tied to the tradition of Feldberg and Mammolshain as the main obstacles. The roads back into Frankfurt from Mammolshain are just too wide open and suit the bunch far more, sadly.How has the Cyclassics not done that? In the noughties it was actually an interesting MSR like race that could go either way. Now, the Waseberg is just not a big enough challenge to the sprinters plus nobody believes it will not end in a sprint.
Schaal Sels returns tomorrow after a two year Covid break, but again, Eurosport Player isn't covering a1.1 race. Seem to be becoming a bit of trend recently?
If anyone finds a link for it, would be much appreciated
The cloning has only started.Co-Commentator (Danish TV2) for BEMER: I think it was Robert Gesink (crashing). I'm pretty sure it wasn't him!
Lol.That was a really bad crash.
According to Rodenberg, it was Gesink who got tangled up. Ten seconds of listening to the commentators, and it's instant mute.
Also, Wout van Aert is prepping for the Worlds in a much more relaxed manner than last year.. they said..
WVA making the race exciting.
The English commentary is decent.That was a really bad crash.

More relaxing than racing a week in Britain I guessYou don't think a nice Sunday ride in Hamburg is relaxing?
