Why on earth is Kenny van Hummel riding this?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

EPM to dominate this one?

not with that 25 km itt there. also what an incredible course. by far hardest this race ever had.

 

[slosada]

Those profiles are a bit weird or wrong (look at the tags for sprints or PMs, especially regarding distances).
Stage 2 has 7Km@5.3% 10Km from the finish.
Stage 5 has the hardest incline: 6.3Km@8.4% (last 3Km@9.5%)
In stage 6 the finish is uphill on cobbles.
Stage 7 is long but divided in 2: 7.5Km@5.7% then 4 Km downhill and the second part is 7.4Km@4.4%.

I don't see why EPM cannot sweep the prizes in this race. Infantino and Sevilla can TT very well. Only Androni can rival them (and the other Colombians in the race: 4-72 and Sanchez/Tamayo with Funvic).

According to the website, stages will start very early local time (always at 7AM), so depending on the distance the arrivals, arrival time will vary.

sevilla can itt very well in colombia, infantino is perhaps the best, but most unregular. however the brazilians are a lot better in itt

this is what I expected., the brazilians are incredible in flat and funvic are one of the best teams in america, especially in flat, sprint and itt. epm will have a hard time. already gc guyz like diniz, prado and cardoso have a minute gap.

[Ryo Hazuki]

average of the first stage btw over 46 km/h impressive considering the group of 5 took of in the beginning of the stage and they pulled it off. calderon from 4-72 was also in that group but got dropped

It was Yean Rodríguez (4-72) and he got a flat tire 2Km from the finish. That's why he appeared 6th in GC.
Still I don't understand why other teams like EPM-UNE, Androni, Russia or OFM didn't capture them (I'm dismissing the other Brazilian teams and Start-Trigon)

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

because they couldn't catch them. hence the average and all the riders who got dropped or even rode outside time limit

and also according to official backnumbers by the race it was edson calderon who was in that group. weird.

gustavo veloso feeling the south american brutal power. 2 min 15 sec back

luis carlos tavares, itt champ of brasil, delivers a scary speed on the hilly course, more than 47 kmph, differences already very big
magno prado should go below 32 minutes

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

where do you follow?

what on earth is doing van hummel here?any idea?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

what on earth is doing van hummel here?any idea?

I think savio will only let him race in latin america to try and win sporints there. lol serious. van hummel is screwed. savio always uses riders that can only sprint for that, like donadello and loddo before. after that they will retire
