What makes you say that?!

It's a draw, people. It's a draw.

Gabrovski looks one shifty character, especially trying to hit on the Katusha girls by palming off the free flowers on one!!

I think they gave Renshaw the win on the basis of the shadows on the finish photo

Nice win for Rabo, again. Now suddenly all members of the fail train start to win.

Ha, ha, she must have told him where to go, "you Bulgo shortarse!"

Despite RAB trying really hard not to win, the Turks (who obviously didn't get the memo), lent them a helping hand.

Maybe Goss is like, have it mate, i need you in the team for the olympics.

 

[El Pistolero]

questionable lotto tactics

I doubt this is a Lotto tactic. Gilbert complained last year in the Tour of Belgium that Greipel was doing work for him while he could have saved his energy and won the stage. I think it was the stage which had the Kemmelberg in it.

Maybe Rabo had seen the race profile? Plus, you know the basic rule of cycling, Rabo chase all day => Rabo don't win.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

it depends. from the daughters point of view it would actually

 

[dirkvijf]

foto finish is goss. no doubt

didn't they have a hit with "don't speak"?

I see it as a sign from above

Anyway congrats to Rabo and Mark, they really are on a roll in Turkey.

It's like the law of gravity... (which incidentally also seems to have a distinctive pull on some RAB riders

 

[boomcie]

didn't they have a hit with "don't speak"?

Not bad. Not bad at all.

it's clear that Renshaw won..... if you consider the shadows

Cool, a Rabobank win!

I was really surprised that Goss was not able to pass Renshaw. Probably he spent to much energy being at the front of the peloton. I hope he can improve, because I want him to animate the tour sprints!

That was Cam Meyer chasing down breakaway attempts at the front of the peloton

And what a job he did btw.

I know, but who was sitting behind him all the time? I'm quite sure Renshaw spent a lot less energy during that climb.

Or Renshaw is simply taller

I know, but who was sitting behind him all the time? I'm quite sure Renshaw spent a lot less energy during that climb.

I think Renshaw was even dropped toward the end... I saw Van Winden drop back.

 

[Panda Claws]

Lol Renshaw won something.

 

[Kwibus]

Nice win by Renshaw. Really happy for him.

And another Rabo win, allthough it's just Turkey they can certainly use the wins.

 

[Mellow Velo]

You guys need to watch more track.
Renshaw clearly the winner.
Rabo on a Turkey roll.

 

[jens_attacks]

too bad gabrovski didn't win today,he could do that easily.just like in those tour of bulgaria wins,it looks like he's firing with a 60 caliber.he was laughing even at vino, goddamn devil.this tour of turkey was pretty much great until now.

also congrats to renshaw
