[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Kern wins in France.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Nice win by Kern, he's clearly in great shape

But cmon Swiss TT champs are an utter joke, everyone knows they have only 1 real TT Champ and he doesn't even compete in the national TTs...

 

[hrotha]

Kern obliterated everyone. Kind of ridiculous if you ask me.

Beetroot juice. Try it, it works.

 

[roundabout]

I suppose one can ask where his Dauphine form came from. OTOH it's a tough course so it is good for a rider in great (peak?) form.

This means that Rasmus Quaade > Spartacus

Good win for Eddy. Now let's hope he can do double. Would be awesome and the course suits him :

That is the Norwegian 2011 course.

Movistar will field 17 riders (all their Spanish riders) on Friday.

17 riders in a time trial?

 

[goggalor]

That is the Norwegian 2011 course.

I can't decide which is the sillier profile, that or the Dutch one.

 

[Gloin22]

I can't decide which is the sillier profile, that or the Dutch one.

The profile looks small but it isn't. The red hills are over 10% in gradient. On the editor I made this, Dutch profile was flat.

For example, Amstel Gold RAce looks like that :

The silly thing about the profile is that you copied the lap 12 times (or whatever). It's more useful if you just take one lap.
