Nice performance by the Rabo's.
The field is much better than at Delta Tour, so a bit suprising this dominance

Apparently there is a new differential on the Rabobus. The 'July' upgrade or something?

 

[Kwibus]

I hope Rabo can dominate this race. They could use a morale boost just before the Tour.

FYI, neither Jos van Emden nor Sebastian Langeveld are going to the Tour.

Looks like a probable sprint finish...

My prediction:

1. Greipel
2. van Hummel
3. ??

 

[Faserr]

Haedo is one of the fastest sprinters at the moment.
I predict a battle between Greipel and Heado.

 

[Jamsque]

I think the Gorilla has the beating of Haedo nine days out of ten.

 

[Faserr]

Greipel punctured. But still 14km to go, so this shouldn't be a problem.

 

[TRDean]

True...Heado will be in there for sure!! But Greipel is faster...I think...lol!!

 

[Faserr]

Francisco J. Ventoso

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Which Haedo? Or both? Just remembering that JJ beat Cav in California...

 

[Faserr]

Both Haedos are there. I meant Juan Jose.

 

[theyoungest]

It doesn't matter how many Haedos are there. Ventoso won.

 

[Faserr]

1. Francisco J. Ventoso Alberdi (CMO)
2. Graeme Brown (RAB)
3. Romain Feillu (VAC)
4. Andre Greipel (THR)
5. Lucas Sebastian Haedo (SAX)

 

[Jamsque]

That's not a very good result for Greipel considering the field he was up against, although he may have burned too much energy chasing after his puncture.

I swear Graeme Brown sprints for second on purpose, I have never known a rider get on the podium so often and win so seldom.
