Ciolek wins a sprint!
who's up next?

 

[Parrulo]

uniquely boring you mean . . .

 

[insideout leadout]

This is cool.

 

[maltiv]

I'm watching. Should've been a bit longer course with 1 hill or something, like they do in cross country skiing sprint events. I think Morkov will win.

 

[Nielsa]

The XC-skiing analogue was a success when they introduced it some years back, because the courses are selective enough (2-3km with mini hills/humps) so the puncheur analogues would go 100% from the beginning to try to drop the pure sprinters.

But with this course, it's just soft pedalling until the last stretch. Not super exciting for the audience.
Add some plywood ramps with a good gradient to make the punchy types come out to play.

 

[insideout leadout]

That sprint was so slow...

 

[hrotha]

This is weird but interesting. Next in line: a mountain stage in the track.

 

[jens_attacks]

boring as hell and useless.i'm off and outside.

 

[Mellow Velo]

uniquely boring you mean . . .

Blimey. how short does a sprint have to be to NOT be boring?
It's uphill, too.
Clarke's heat..........not very subtle.

 

[hatcher]

Nice little diversion from work.

 

[hrotha]

Lol, Pietropolli. You can tell how seriously they are taking this "sprinters" competition.

 

[Cobblestoned]

I will also join the outing list.

But one eye on Miss Petkovic.

Having to pay for this, err, 'race' would be a crime.

 

[insideout leadout]

surprise surprise Ciolek is out.

 

[hrotha]

Wow, Ciolek. See, if you win, there's no glory. If you lose like this it's just embarrassing.

 

[roundabout]

Hunter's sprinting must have spooked him

Looks like Quebec isn't live on Eurosport, while Montreal is...does that mean we will have to pay for this **** to get a stream.

it's on eurosport 2, no?

 

[insideout leadout]

Yeah but not live.

 

[maltiv]

Yea but only for 30 minutes (from 23:30), so I guess that's just highlights?

UK Eurosport have 4 hours live scheduled, tomorrow. (providing the US tenis QFs don't run to a 4th day.)

Hunter has this in the bag. Second semi can't sprint and can't breath!
