Re:

Zé Gonçalves building form!

I hope he can shine tomorrow. Stage looks promising for him.

 

[trevim]

Nice result from Gonçalves, it reminded me of his attack on Santa Luzia last season. Let's see what he can do overall or if he can get a stage win somewhere.

Re:

Rebellin vs Diaz vs Diniz vs Sayar.

I love this post


It's sad that security concerns make several teams skip this race. Would have been a great opportunity for Orica to give the likes of Jack Haig valuable leadership experience, the same for Sam Oomen, Laurens De Plus or one of the young Gazprom climbers.

Curious to see what Petilli can do if he's given the chance to shine.

How many riders do you think comprise a team - We had LBL today, last day of the Tour Of Croatia, Romandie starts Tuesday and Yorkshire starts Friday - And that's not even considering Giro which starts in 12 days - Team's have finite resources.

That actually never crossed my mind. Guess I'm not used to having Croatia and Yorkshire around.

The nuclear meltdown is still on. Diaz, Rebellin and Sayar all made it in the first group. Only Diniz missed out, but that wasn't too unexpected. Petilli still in contention too, but Niemiec will be the main man for Lampre after today, I suspect, if he didn't burn himself out.

Caja Rural destroying the field from 40k out!

 

[Pricey_sky]

Can't be more than 25 riders left already with 1 loop to go

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Caja Rural dropping riders in the echelon. This is really impressive stuff!

 

[Valv.Piti]

The 10 minutes I have watched of Tour of Turkey in my entire life has been better than the last 3 Ardennes campaigns combined

 

[Pricey_sky]

Brilliant racing, riders all over the road!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Davide dropped

 

[Pricey_sky]

Niemiec was in trouble for a while there, didn't look too good. Going to be tough for the Rebellin/Hansen group to get back.

They are not coming back. 1 minute down and Greg Henderson is starting to get really tired from leading the chase.
Really hope Bilbao will put the hammer down on the last climb!

Sad that Rebellin is dropped.

 

[trevim]

Oh no Szmyd crashed

 

[TMP402]

Also sad Hugh Carthy isn't there to exploit all this Caja work.

Me too! Really superb stuff from Caja today.

Szmyd back

Does Szmyd have strava?

Re: Re:

I like him so I hope he doesn't

 

[TMP402]

The team called Astana City - is that a new team?

 

[Arked]

It's Astana feeder/development team.

 

[TMP402]

Re:

Was it called Seven Rivers Cycling Team last year?

 

[GP Blanco]

Re:

It is part of the Astana structure and the follw up to last year's Seven Rivers team.
