Please do not let this be about another cavendish thread.

 

[theyoungest]

The same Cav who has won a world tour prologue without needing to x-ray his blood.

Lol. Cav's lawyer has spoken again. Cav is indeed a great TT specialist, and not one dimensional at all.

Kittel's TT legs have disappeared as well though. Although I think he could still do quite well as a rouleur, in Paris-Roubaix for instance.

Is he riding here?

 

[hatcher]

Is he riding here?

Neither is Cav.

 

[Gloin22]

Sky isn't riding here...

I like his hair.

This may not mean much to non track followers but in 2008 Cav and Wiggins won the world madison Championships ahead of guys like Rasmussen, Keisse, Kluge, Morkov.

If you unfollow someone does that mean you stop wheelsucking?

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I think so. I don't know the exact rules.

 

[LaFlorecita]

How big is the chance that Kristoff stays in the top 10 with the TT in mind?

Uci site has full results up.

Bodnar is missing from CN's top 10. Must have been involved in the crash and given same time

 

[Mellow Velo]

Crash victims are nowhere to be seen at present. Durbridge missing too, for instance. No doubt they will get updated.
Talking of crashes: Is Denis Galimzyanov this year's train wreck?

How so? ...

 

[LaFlorecita]

How so? ...

He isn't earning any cq points.

As opposed to...

Alexander Kristoff!

Well, it was clear that in this race he's working for Kristoff, as he was taking a pull in the wind with 6-7 km to go, or something like that. My guess is Katusha believe Kristoff is their best chance to achieve anything at the Ronde or P-R, as Galimzyanov is totally useless as races like that. Kristoff was working for him in Qatar for example. Now, he probably won't get as many chances to go for it as he did last year, with Freire and Kristoff on the team, but as far as calling it a train wreck? I wouldn't say so yet

 

[El Pistolero]

He won this stage last year

I know. And besides, it's only fair that I get some points too.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Correct

Correct.

Bodnar now up on CN results along with Durbridge @ 6".

 

[Fetisoff]

Correct

Well, as I said I'm sure his and team's focuses have switched this year with Kristoff and Freire on the team. And for Gali, one GT stage win would mean much much more than all the CQ points he got last year.

 

[WillemS]

Great top speed by Kittel today. He started his sprint really late as van Hummel passed in front of him at the 125m sign. Still managed to accelerate and take a bike length on everyone. By far the fastest today.

They're going for Freire in RVV. Kristoff is quite useless on the cobbles unfortunately.
