Re:

by the way, i really didn't like the french's attitude in today's l'equipe. they all seem sure that it will be a bunch sprint, very relaxed and calm
i think they won't make the top 10. they also arrived only yesterday...

I think they are not dumb and know that Belgium will try everything in the desert. If they survive that part (Démare is good in echelons), they are probably right about a sprint finish.

You dont like the french attitute? First time ive ever heard of such an insult . Bouhanni might like the heat though, i think this is a favorites grabs with no accidents though. France hasnt done anything right before Doha it seems..

Re: Re:

GVA might ride with a camelbag I read in a flemish newspaper, since taking bottles in the race will be very difficult...

Tony Martin will ride with a small cart carrying 6 big water tanks for Germany i heard. Possibly a portable shower at the end.

You mean the German who backed into a rainbow jersey this year?

Re:

So which sprinter copes best with heat?

Certainly Bouhanni & Gaviria!?

Fail in the making indeed. I certainly hope so now.

Allthough it will likely be a sprint, but I expect a battle in the desert. Reduced sprint.

Can't rule out a man who won 22 stages in this heat

Merckx making himself look like a tool again. A journo asked him how the WC went so far. He replied that nobody has complained about the heat except Belgians

Then I assume that Merxc doesn't any other countries than Belgium

That's only because the others suffering from heat exhaustion had already passed out.

That man never won in this heat. That man won those stages in february when the temperature is somewhere between 20 and 27 celsius.

 

[Flamin]

Yep. Disgusting figure. I would respect him a lot more if he just said he gets paid well. Spouting this kind of utter *** is the lowest of lowest.

Do you have a link to this wild accusation? If UCI ever gives Worlds to this kind of countries again, ill support Tinkoff for UCI president!

That sounds pretty bad, the other statement could just be them playing mindgames.
Demare knows how to ride in the wind and is able to handle the distance, but is he able to handle the heat?

Seems ur Hero has been bought then. Like most of the sport these days, why u think WC is in Doha? lol. Thank God worlds is in Norway and Yorkshire the next two years..

I dont know whats right and wrong anymore, i supported Lance Armstrong for years!. But i know this, when Cycling Worlds come back to Norway (Armstrong won 1993 Worlds in Norway) we will be in Numbers u will never ever have seen in the history of Cycling! Norway love Cycling!

When Lance came to Oslo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0QqiX6PPKY

The Video is kinda revealing cause Thor knew Lance was doped at this time, but the world didnt. its all in his book.

Bouhanni said he would have gone crazy if he arrived earlier in Doha. Roy said that they trained in "heat conditions" at home.

Cavendish won a lot of races and you're still there, so I'm sure you could cope with another controversial sprinter.

Don't worry, he's more interested in beating Démare than actually winning the race. I wouldn't be surprised if they crash each other out in the sprint

Tinkoff would do worse.

This is wrong on so many levels.
Actually, Bouhanni looks more like a team player than Démare.

A man with the right mindset, Doha is a dreadful place. Minimum stay required.
