Probably, but I'm just glad we've got a race and the world champion is coming.The way it's going I wouldn't be shocked if they just did 200 laps of the Manchester velodrome and then went straight to Leigh.
I'd rather we had a race to be proud of, to inspire and generate the interest that secures its future as a proper race, rather than something that just bears a name is cooked up on the fly and a teensy bit embarrassingProbably, but I'm just glad we've got a race and the world champion is coming.

But each to their own
Too much climbing. It'll never happenThe way it's going I wouldn't be shocked if they just did 200 laps of the Manchester velodrome and then went straight to Leigh.
Basque race organisers' stage designs this year have been really mad. It's like they're trying to be as un-Basque as possible.Stupid run-in.
Movistar tried to do a team lead out for Sierra, but Reusser and Vollering completely destroyed them, and Bredewold easily won.
If have to say this time, SD Worx worked really well together.
But the descent of the last climb was horrible with speed bumps and no signals of any marshal.
So the questions is now, can Bredewold defend the jersey tomorrow?
2. Stage:
1. Bredewold
2. Garcia
3. Labous
Yes, Rooijakkersen Taldea. There are two different genitive cases in Basque (one for animate objects and one for inanimate) though they are irregular and Basque grammar is an absolute maze which requires supreme dedication to get even half a head around. Rooijakkers (person) -en (genitive suffix) talde (group) -a (definite article): "The Rooijakkers group."I just love the term "Labousen Taldea".
Though, I suppose it's a good thing the group isn't named for Rooijakkers... "Rooijakkersen Taldea"?
Sorry, I'm just trying to figure out how Basque works.
