Presidential Tour of Turkey (2.HC) April 22-29

[Bala Verde]

Thanks, the stream looks awesome, however that goddamn popup that says "wait a few seconds" doesn't wanna disappear after 2 minutes

Just hit reload and it disappears!

OH, never thought of that, lol. (facepalm)

 

[Bala Verde]

Petacchi train taking control of the race.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Haedo is right up there!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Why is Farnese Vini at the front this early? I simply don't get it.

 

[hatcher]

Very strong sprint that.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Rabo.....?

 

[Fetisoff]

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Haedo is right up there!

unfortunately he let himself box in. they really need the entire team to make a train insteads of just miayazawa bringing them up front. this whole sprint was chaos

 

[Bala Verde]

Bokito takes it.

 

[hatcher]

Just no acceleration in Renshaw's legs.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Just no acceleration in Renshaw's legs.

he's never had thet eithe.r he's just a guy that can maintain speed.

 

[will10]

Messy one. Impressive from Greipel.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Rabo.....?

Bos lost Renshaw's wheel just as Renshaw moved up into the first three or four positions. At least that's what it looked like. A gap opened, Renshaw moved through and then the borderline chaos in the peloton slammed the gap shut before Bos could follow.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Very nice to see Pelucchi up there! Seems as though Europcar has finally realised that he's their best sprinter.

 

[Fetisoff]

Just no acceleration in Renshaw's legs.

Greipel (Lotto)
Goss (Greenedge)
Pelucchi (Europcar)
Renshaw (Rabo)
Schulze (Netapp)

Yep. This is quite a new thing for Saxo though. They actually looked good with 2 kms to go with 3 team mates in front. Heado does seems lack that final skill to positioning himself correctly. He will be disappointed with how he managed to get himself boxed in. Acceleration wise he is up there with the best.

he can't position at all. that's why they need the team to pull a train in highspeed so they can't get over him from behind.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Farnese Vini were doing their best imitation of the 2011 Sky leadout technique.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

guardini sucks basically everywhere but langkawi. he clearly lacks engine. he's more a quaranta

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Sprints with no dominant train but half a dozen teams trying to put one together are definitely more fun to watch.

 

[DominicDecoco]

I think they did that for him on an acceptable level today tbh. Someone tried to headbutt him too in the fight for positioning btw. Didn't catch the rider who did it though.

 

[Flamin]

Mighty impressive burst of speed. Finally, after more than 2 months on a dry spell.

Fun to watch, but also quite conducive to massive pile-ups. Total mayhem in the final 3 k.

This was chaos. Greipel totally pwned that though, like a boss.
