Mallorca Challenge 'one day' Races

[theyoungest]

Ah yes, Van Staeyen. Belgian sprinter dominance all the way.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

It seems that Greipel has revealed his secret power with which he wins small crap race upon small crap race to the people of Belgium.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Highlights supposed to be on ETB here, however the pelota is overrunning so coverage will probably be delayed by a few minutes.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Belgian sprinters are going extremely well at the start of this season.

belgian riders are always in topshape very early

Farrar didn't get out of the saddle to sprint.

Cancellara style

Hm of course we have to put the races in the light of the calendar, (warming up races) it's still nice to see Dehaes back at winning a race.

I never understood why it came he won some nice bunch sprints when he rode for Vlaanderen and then once he went to Katusha and Lotto never could win one single race, not even a Kermiskoers...

because at lotto he never rode kermiskoersen and/or he had to help others. still he is very limited rider.

Farrar's obviously been taking some advice from Goss over the winter.

 

[brilleaben]

And Movistar with triple sprint leadership? Interesting...

 

[rantanplan]

Or Bennati.

But more importantly, Amets Txurruka was in the break of the day. Good to know that all that's changed in Ametsland is the colour of the jersey.

I dont think he is riding.

ospina isn't riding in mallorca

 

[BlenJones2]

Any ideas about Valverde's form?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

The way he's been getting involved so far, wouldn't be surprised to see Wiggins take an ostentatious pull on the climb before Sergio and/or JTL makes a run for it.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Oh okay, thanks; he was on some startlist before the race started. Would've liked to see him race here though.

Day 3 stage profile:

El Bala will be ready with a kick in the end.

Yoeri Havik ‏
FYI yesterday #Wiggins ride to the start and back from finish. About 300km. Same today I think. If u wnt 2be a champion; train, train hard!!

Wiggins is definitely training hard for Giro. After yesterdays stage he rode back to the start of that stage and then back again ( ie did the race two times )

No live coverage, just twitter #challengemallorca.

In the lead:

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Hitting the climbs very shortly, just gone through the 95km point.

 

[RHRH19861986]

Thanks Pentacycle, appreciated.

Great conditions in Mallorca, 180 degrees different to three years ago, when Gerdemann won the most hilly race there.

So will give a pretty good indication of who is in shape.
