nt. Österreich-Rundfahrt-Tour of Austria 2014

[plooton]

Hats off to mini Quintana!

Uhm... just out of curiousity; is there a start list somewhere? Haven't been able to find one.

Right on the official website: http://www.oesterreich-rundfahrt.at/en/index08_en.htm

It's very normal for the older brother to speak that way about his younger brother.

Was it an attack from the peloton? Not from breakaway?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

@bushman: from favorites group. Edit: Win came from break

Stage 4

Could be a long day at the office for Sky. Good ramp for strong break relatively early. We shall see.

Edit: @Bushman: Win came from a strong break. Even more impressive if you ask me. Anyway my mistake for not backtracking the ticker when I came in at the business end. Apologies.

 

[Bushman]

Holy fvck that is impressive. Even though he is not a marked man that is Mighty impressive.

According to CN it was from a break. Lead was down to 1:30 by the start of the climb.

It is criminal that this race doesn't have top notch coverage. I need to see every second of this.

I guess follow Tommy Tomi for more

 

[whittashau]

Are serious??? Dayer better than Nairo???

OMG - then there will be a complete take over by the Quintana brothers in the coming years

There is actually a lot of talented young riders out their right now. I can imagine Aru, Formolo, the Yates brothers all given those to a run for their money. The Quintana's shouldn't have it all go their way

Thanks for this, Good win from Kennaugh on stage 1, following Froome's example of the train drilling it then attacking when everyone is on their last legs. also very impressive from Quintana on stage 3 in horrendous conditions.

 

[ppanther1]

Gourmetfein was robbed all their bikes. Cofidis, Trek and Katusha helping out.

Gatto wins stage, Kennaugh retains overall

Someone needs to tell our short-tempered Manx friend that the promise that Sky will make up for not selecting him for the TdF by allowing him the be lead for them at the Vuelta may need to be broken...

I wonder that that finish is like. Enough for Moreno to go on?

Can't find any info on it.

50km in, break with 5:25 (ticker not helpful with compo.)

edit: some of the break riders are:

Jesse Sergent (TFR), Jasha Sütterlin (MOV), Nicki Sörensen (TCS), Pavel Brutt (KAT), Sebastian Lander (BMC), Koldo Fernandez (GRS), Arman Kamyshev (AST), Johan Bagot (COF), Kevin von Melsen (WGG).



Sky and Cannondale chasing.

Grossglockner coming up shortly.

Ticker: http://liveticker.laola1.at/radsport/ticker.html

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Sergent wins solo after breaking free from the leading group somewhere on the descent of Grossglockner I think.

[classicomano]

Im starting to wonder if JJ Lobato gets second in bunch sprints on purpose in his quest to overthrow Rojas as king of the lower placings.

I wonder who would win if they raced each other.

Tons of shared 2nd places...

Stage 6, last MTF but we also have a TT coming up later.

Another hard day at the office for Kennaugh, but he has defended the jersey perfectly so far.

Gutted this isnt televised live

Hope that PK can hold on. Another Sky rider who should currently be in France.

If they send them to France : "destroying young talent by making them burning on the front"

If they don't send them and instead they grow them winning 2.HC's : "they should sending them to France"
