National Championships 2013

[Dekker_Tifosi]

well, its just unbelievable really. Dunno how Gesink will survive the first week of the tour.

It wasn't his fault though, again. A rider left om him crashed and simply took him away. This guy has NO luck AT ALL.

Albasini or Canc FTW.

Surprising Pirazzi!

NL Westra leading solo (he was with 2 other guys before). He has about 2 minutes over the peloton lead by mainly Blanco.

 

[Ruudz0r]

France: William Bonnet, Arthur Vichot (FDJ), Jimmy Engoulvent, Jean-Lou Paiani, Maxime Médérel (Sojasun), Angelo Tulik, Sébastien Chavanel (Europcar), Steve Chainel (AG2R La Mondiale), Stéphane Pouilhès (Cofidis), Renaud Dion (Bretagne-Séché Environnement) et Alexandre Blain (Raleigh) have a 6.25 gap with around 90K to go.

Surprising Pirazzi!

Surprising that Malori didn't win. 600 meters of climbing, but most of it was false flat.

Any live feeds yet?

Russia: Vorganov, Gusev, Isaychev, Brutt (KAT), Kochetkov, Solomennikov (Rus), Rovny (CER) and Frolov (Ite) have a 2.30 lead over 8 chasers with 50K to go

That one won't be brought back but the question is, who is going to win? Hoping Engoulvent does.

 

[postmanhat]

Isn't Armitstead a better sprinter?

It would be a great contest, but won't find out today unfortunately. Apparently, she soloed away in the final lap to have a 30 second gap at the finish.

1. Armistead
2. Trott
3. King
4. Roswell
5. Trott (Emma, Laura's sister)

No live coverage of any of the UK races. Just a half-hour highlights package tomorrow. Bloody ITV

 

[Ruudz0r]

28K to go in Spain Astarloza and Erviti now have a 4.30 lead.

GOGO ASTARLOZA!

Jebus. It's rare that I cheer for Vomistar, but today might just be one of those days.

Break already lost 3 minutes in the last hour.

Europcar will bring it back for sure... I wouldn't put any faith in Seb Chav.

 

[roundabout]

Looks like Ag2r is chasing

I'd say it's between Paiani and Vichot. Both have a nice turn of speed and teammates to help chase others and possibly do a lead out even.

If the gravel roads play a part Chainel could go solo.

 

[Sasquatch]

Europcar will bring it back for sure... I wouldn't put any faith in Seb Chav.

But they bring it back and then they face Demare or Bouhanni unless they drop, which probably won't happen.

They are better off to Take their chances on Chav in that group.

 

[Ferminal]

Bring it close enough for Rolland/Voeckler/Gaudin/Turgot to attack. Then they still have Coquard. FDJ may not have anyone to follow as Vichot is arguably their best man.

Yeah, looks like it is being brought back but I still favour Demare in that situation.

28K to go in Spain Astarloza and Erviti now have a 4.30 lead.

GOGO ASTARLOZA!

A 21 kms.

Solo 50 segundos para Erviti y Astaloza sobre un pelotón que ya ha alcanzado a Aramendia y Hernández.

A 25 kms.

Erviti (Movistar Team) y Astarloza (Euskaltel-Euskadi)

a 2:10 Pelotón

A 28 kms.

Movistar Team tira a bloque del pelotón, pese a tener a Erviti por delante.

A 30 kms.

4:30 para Erviti (Movistar Team) y Astarloza (Euskaltel-Euskadi)


Gap went down very fast only 50s left. Or the 4.30 was wrong.
