27km remaining for the dutchies

Thanks.

Gah, they should stagger all the races and share coverage - make a big TV day of it.

 

[Moondance]

Lolz... Weening yelling at Luijckx.... Only in the Dutch Nats

 

[Greenflame]

Pff Rabobank are really riding like losers. Weening not allowed to ride, but they're not working at the back either...

That is called good tactics. Weening is hating it tho.

That's probably everyone who is still left in the race, lol.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Martin came past Brammeier somewhere around the finishing line. It's not clear which of them won the Irish nationals. McCann (Giant Kenda) was third. Roche (Ag2r) was fourth. Bennett (An Post Sean Kelly) fifth.

 

[rmacek]

Impressive she can do this too... Although I have no idea of the state of Czech and Slovak women's cycling.

State of women cycling is not very good, we have to wait to the world champs to see what Sáblíková really can do..

 

[hrotha]

Chavanel is doing one hell of a ride. I hope he wins. From what I'm seeing the French championship is the most interesting one.

That's Rabo in the Dutch nats for you.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Poland RR:

1. Tomasz Marczynski (CCC)
2. Tomasz Smolen (CCC)
3. Maciej Paterski (LIQ)
4. Michal Golas (VCD)

 

[US Patent Exploding Cyclist]

I am thoroughly confused by the Rabobank tactics. This confusion has only been compounded by the fact that I don't speak Dutch, and the coverage is awful.

 

[The Sheep]

Thank god there are no radios in dutch champs

 

[Tuarts]

Brammier won! He just tweeted lol

 

[Sofía_]

Spain: 10 men breakaway (Lastras, Chente, Pérez, ???)

 

[mulletCobra]

What kind of streams are available? I've only found a dutch one.

 

[Moondance]

State of women cycling is not very good, we have to wait to the world champs to see what Sáblíková really can do..

Will she ride there...??? I would says that that's waaaay to close to the start of the speed skating season to be concentrating on something else.
