Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey 2016 (2.HC)

[Zinoviev Letter]

Great stage. I really wasn't expecting Caja Rural to go ballistic like that.

 

[BigMac]

People gobsmacked at Caja Rural, they've been using this tactics for some time. Just remember Philly Cycling Classic (which Zé Gonçalves will win ) or the Tour de Beauce, they must be one of the teams with more 1-2's

 

[Samamba]

Again echelons today. 24 riders in front with 8 LTS riders and 4 Caja Rural. Don't think Niemec is in it.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Turkey is the new Qatar!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Huuuuge gaps there! Pello in the lead group

 

[Pricey_sky]

Bilbao and goncalvez there for Caja. Niemiec in the group 13 mins down! CCC missed it too

Caja could be going 1-2-3 on GC here

 

[Guybrush]

Monster side winds!

 

[Samamba]

If Lotto loses this...

 

[RedheadDane]

Lotto's version of Marginal Gains; "radio holes" in the jerseys!

Is it just me or did it look like a sign on the road was dramatically shaking?

Yep, the wind is ridiculously strong.

 

[Guybrush]

Lotto riding now

 

[TMP402]

The way that Marseille rider was dropped...

Almost feel sad for him

 

[Samamba]

Oh God, this is Brilliant.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Lotto hammering!!!

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Beautiful!

 

[Guybrush]

1-2-3-4-5-6 to Lotto ! killing it!

 

[hrotha]

Awesome.

 

[TMP402]

Caja Rural out of GC?!

 

[Samamba]

Lotto dropped their own GC rider though.

Re:

Naa, none of the LTS riders is dangerous.

 

[TMP402]

Re:

Didn't see that. So all this is for a Greipel stage win. Sad.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Hansen must be in pretty bad shape. Dropped yesterday and dropped today in the best possible conditions for him.

This is epic. Strong crosswinds should be mandatory for every bike race
