Roman Kreuziger Discussion Thread

[fireblader]

Something like: "aaaarrrrgghhhhhhhhhhh......"

May be he tried to put just one second on Molema and Ten Dam

 

[Kokoso]

Tomorrow Kreuziger and Alberto could try to attack Mollema on the descent, if it'd difficult enough. Mollema isn't greatest descender as we could see at TdS.

I wonder what he was thinking when he inched his wheel forward crossing the line with Alberto

Collecting WT points as Contador's don't count as per orders from Riis

I wondered the same thing.

That depends. If it rains, he's actually really good, because he dares to take a lot of risk. If it's dry he's nothing special.

So lets hope it's dry. At TdS he couldn't follow Costa and TJVG. Kreuziger on the other hand is very good descender.

Another great domestique duties fulfulling today - Roman looked very good today. I don't thin he was attacking full gas.
Only I hope that he didn't exhausted himself for tomorrow's TT. Mollema was saving powers today on the contrary.

 

[wwabbit]

I was wondering why he didn't go back to help Contador after that descent incident. Maybe thinking "Porte's going to do all the work anyway". Smart...

Probably because DS didn't want him to go back. Smart...

Mollema (and Ten Dam) are empty. The danger is Quintana and perhaps JRod

Do you think so? To me Mollema looked same as always - bad

Trouble is he probably is not able to attack what we would see as full gas. I
think it's in his head

 

[LaFlorecita]

I don't really like Roman but him RTing puppy pics on twitter is just adorable.

 

[Netserk]

Today he was the second fastest on the technical descent. Only slower than Sagan.

Will he attack tomorrow on the Sarenne descent?

 

[Forunculo]

I told you, Kokoso, Belkin was on the ropes, and the danger is Quintana and perhaps Purito However Roman looks very solid

Can I ask why? He is helping Berto a lot

 

[LaFlorecita]

I don't dislike him, just feel neutral.

 

[Gloin22]

He's the surprise of the Tour so far for me. Holding on amazingly well, looking better than Contador at times. Astonishing transformation from last year.

I guess Amstel win gave him so needed confidence boost.

 

[trevim]

I sincerely hope he doesn't have to slave for Contador and they race together. I also hope he ends up in the podium.

 

[Netserk]

Welease Woman!!!!

 

[Cimber]

He wont be slaving but he might be used offensively to put pressure on Froome. On Manse he and Berti took turns attacking.

Would love to see him podium

 

[sultanofhyd]

He won't drop back if Contador is in trouble. Obviously a Kreuziger P2 is a lot more valuable to Saxo than a Contador P2

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I feel sorry for him.

Auto-quoted for truth

I feel sorry for him.

Yeah me too, but he hadn't better legs than Alberto

 

[roundabout]

Alberto wheelsucked him until the last 1500 meters. I'd say he was as good as Contador today.

Hadn't he? I'm curious how you know it. He spent lot of energy working for Alberto today what he missed in the final. Yet he finished just 16 seconds behind him.
