[Potomac]

Where and when will some selective process happen?

 

[Potomac]

Wonderful! You are on your way to learning a new language.

Where and when will some selective process happen?

Between 50km and 20km to go. The last 20 is easy.

 

[greatking88]

Exactly.

Euskatel is more like FCB. But not as good.

Euskaltel is more like Ajax, bringing through good riders and then having to let them go to the big boys

Including the many falls/injuries

 

[jens_attacks]

No, the basque riders stay in Euskatel. Like Nieve and Anton. They bring in a superstar like Samuel Sanchez, he isn't basque.

Must be the last two seasons of watching streams kicking in then... yeah must say dont really wanna take a dump on my rides also, dont think i would get invited back...

anyway times coming down, looking forward to some aggressive riding and really hoping (praying) greenedge can make their presence felt in this race as this supposedly is want they want to be good at...

oh wait, there are hills....

[Potomac]

Between 50km and 20km to go. The last 20 is easy.

Is there a particular 'berg or stretch of "Kasseien" that is expected to factor in more than others?

 

[Highlander]

Watching the current stretch of cobbles the leaders are on makes my legs hurt as I sit on my couch.

 

[jens_attacks]
