Ponferrada 2014 World Championships, Sep. 21st-28th

[GuyIncognito]

FYI, last year's top two are usually a lot better in the rain than in the dry. This might play into their hands again.

 

[MrKangaroo]

Can someone please link to the transponder timing site again?

I had it then closed it stupidly.

[Armchair Cyclist]

Is it just me or can we report all sprinters missing?

By no means, lots of them 30 seconds back at the last check

 

[GuyIncognito]

It is, just as weird as René for example

Frank Schleck's middle name, btw

 

[Arnout]

Thanks. That's a weird name for a Dutch woman.

It's not that common a name, but not really weird either. We pronounce the J as for example the y in yearning.

 

[federalski]

Thanks G too fast and Kangaroo.

 

[GuyIncognito]

It's not that uncommon

He doesn't realize it's "Yose"

 

[Descender]

He doesn't realize it's "Yose"

I thought as much. But that doesn't make it less weird, to me at least. Doesn't it come from the Spanish version of "Joseph" (which is a male name)?

 

[Arredondo]

Frank Schleck's middle name, btw

Didn't knew that. Sounds good

 

[Jancouver]

Panzerwagen in rainbow RR jersey would be so awesome. Tony FTW!

Perhaps its from Josephine?

However you pronounce it she is making poor Phil sound even more senile than normal.

Andy's middle name, Raymond. Steve's.....no clue.

 

[l.Harm]

In Dutch however, José is a female given name, and is pronounced [ˈioʊseɪ]; it may occur as part of name composites like Marie-José or as a female first name in its own right; it can also be short for the name Josina and even a Dutch hypocorism[2] of the name Johanna.

Yeah I watched part of the juniors race yesterday and sometimes you could hear her facepalming, was pretty funny

Phil Liggett has a default mode where he just spews the same words over and over again.

 

[Sasquatch]

Australia are not going to get any help to bring this group back. They will burn their riders.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

If Tony Martin wins after a 50km solo that would be the most epic world championship in years

 

[Roude Leiw]

Go Tony !!

She does that to most, so when she's alongside a know-nothing, this happens.

 

[The Hitch]

Summary so far?

 

[Jancouver]

If Tony Martin wins after a 50km solo that would be the most epic world championship in years

The first 200 km was just a warm up for Panzerwagen

 

[Arredondo]

On Sporza they said the coach of Norway broke his hip due to the crash, and another passenger both of his legs. Luckily they are still alive and stable (in the sense they're not in life danger).

 

[Jancouver]

Summary so far?

Panzerwagen
Chasers 25 sec
Peloton 50 sec

 

[Roude Leiw]

Summary so far?

Group of 4 went, Poland brought back, Italy bombed, Germany send the tanks in

 

[meat puppet]

yes, let's hope thats the way it will be

Go Tony !!

second that, but as longs as attacks keep coming I'll be happy.
