nice to see LottoJUmbo take the win

Ewan I like
I am usually "anyone but Gaviria"

 

[Pentacycle]

God damnit, Ewan definitely was the strongest. Just bad luck.

Possibly. But Groenewegen was definitely the smartest here.

This time last year Hofland got LottoNL's first win of the season. Yorkshire is the place for Dutch teams to go for season-saving third-rate sprint wins!

Re:

Did I imagine seeing Ewan working on the front with about 14km to go?

You did ...it was Cort and Chris Juul Jensen

 

[TMP402]

No podium girls but enough free sh*t.

Well it was their 3rd win this year so far though. All by Groenewegen btw.

Just watched the finish. Final km wasn't a road made for a bunch sprint.

I understand why some where mentioning Zakarin in here, but there wasn't much choice on these roads. Road was far from a straight line...

Groenewegen is really turning into a respectable rider. 3 wins this season + plenty of top3's in one day races. And he is only 22.

Perhaps they could use him in a WT race for a change.

Vuelta?

Vuelta?

I was thinking something earlier in the calendar considering their struggle to win any WT race.

At the start of the season Vuelta was planned but he confirmed recently TdF is also an option. His next race will be California.

Epic broadcasting fail today..

Re:

What's happening?

 

[Andy262]

The equipment on the plane which presumably receives signals from the motos has been malfunctioning all day. We just had about 15 km or so of coverage between c. 100 and 80 km but now the kit isn't working again.. Wouldn't be surprised if that's it. There was no coverage of the women's pretty much excepting start and finish..

 

[Jancouver]

Seems like the British cycling just can't get a break this week

 

[Inquitus]

What a disaster, I'll never complain about the coverage at the Tour of Murcia again!

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Crap happens, deal with it.

 

[TomLPC]

At least Hugh carthy and froome won.

Also North end are beating reading

 

[jens_attacks]

Tomorrow stage matters anyway, no?

 

[MatParker117]

27 secs gap as the peloton rode by me, sprint coming.

 

[HelloDolly]

Kind of ridiculous that there was no plan B ...must be another plane in UK with relay equipment
If you can't see a race on TV might as well not have it ...IT was the most important part of the organisation...Otherwise its just a whir of riders flying by

Never gripe again about Catalunya's coverage
