I suspect 'the little Colombian' will be a phrase oft-repeated if Phil and Paul are commentating.

Nice. Hopefully there will be streams.jobiwan said:Colorado is live on Versus everyday I believe, similar to the Cali coverage.
In Colorado The Leech has no chances against The Condor anywayDamiano Machiavelli said:Good. Utah and Colorado will not be an easy opportunity for The Leech to beat up on domestic pros. He will face real competition.
Duartista said:Am I right to assume the Condor in question is Gesink? (Rujano also refers to himself as the Condor, in typically modest fashion.)

l.Harm said:I didn't read this whole thread but does someone know the profile of this tour? I heard it's kind of comparable to the tour in Cali.
Alpe d'Huez said:Unfortunately, you may be right. Though I think Stage 5 will see some breaks.
As I said a few pages back, the Coors' Classic it ain't. No Morgul-Bismarck, no Tour of the Moon, Colorado National Monument. However this is a first time, so they likely went with where they could get easy access and good exposure, so in that regard I'm okay with it.

I wonder if it's Puerto related? Antioquia aren't taking Sevilla or Gutierrez - perhaps that was a condition of their invite. This is pure speculation, of course.this_is_edie said:it's all about who is paying. First year as a pro team, Exergy is a founding partner and they're in. Have they won any big races this year? Jelly Belly is an official sponsor.
Did realcyclist refuse to put up money for sponsorship, or were they refused any way even with money offered? That's the question I'd like answered.

Yes, Gesink's nickname is the Condor of Varsseveld (terrible, but there you go).Duartista said:Am I right to assume the Condor in question is Gesink? (Rujano also refers to himself as the Condor, in typically modest fashion.)

Duartista said:Ah-ha. They could have chosen a bird with links to the Netherlands, like a heron or something. Coppi was a heron, so that would carry a certain prestige.
