The big one: Tour of Poland, Aug 1st -7th

[theyoungest]

also not for mollema yet it appears

Maybe because Mollema already has a website?

 

[Reuell]

Luckily not by him, no

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I don't have a curse, it only seems that way

Some of these dudes actually won races and performed better than ever this season while I do their websites (Mouris for example).

Mouris... better than ever... ah yes, I remember, he won the Ronde van het Groene Hart, didn't he?

about yesterdays stage...it seemed like Bole is trying to outsprint Lorenzetto and that is exactly what happened. They had an agreement in Lampre team that Lorenzetto will work for Bole in this stage, because he really wanted to win it and dedicate it to his grandmother who passed away last week.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

lorenzetto is an ***

 

[bjaelkesex]

wauw that was bizarre

Aaaaand Sagan has withdrawn from the race. His hype train is running seriously low on steam.

Break of the day is Ben Swift (Sky), Borut Bozic (Vacansoleil) and Marcel Bodnar (Liquigas), they have about three minutes over the peloton from which Johnny Hoogerland just attacked.

 

[roundabout]

Hoogerland only wants the GPM it seems

He's got the ****s or something.

Funny thing is that this is the second time this year Vacansoleil does this exact mistake. Lieuwe Westra did it in Tour of Oman this year, although that one was even more stupid as he actually thought he won a bunch sprint while no one else were even sprinting

Thanks for that, was sure it was a Vacansoleil rider but couldn't remember who/where it was for the life of me

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Only logical Sagan, the guy is put in way to many races

 

[jobiwan]

Does anyone know how far they have to go. I know today they climb one 5 times. Anyone know which one they're on?

 

[roundabout]

4th ascent

 

[jobiwan]

[Dekker_Tifosi]

28-ish. One more climb then the mtf.

I just went by what was on at the eurosport site and an online timezone converter, so it is likely I'm a bit off

But a bit off-topic, is it already known at what time the worlds are? For it would be likely that the timing is such that it is also convenient for Europe, as this is still probably the largest commercial market for cycling. So I would expect them to do the same as they do with football and the Olympics, try to get it in such a timeslot that it is not too inconvenient for Europe

It will finish late afternoon so it will be alright for the euros to watch

 

[jobiwan]

And here comes the catch. This ascent should be good.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

For who is Sky working now?

Anyone help me?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Sky are trailling their new leadout train tatic for their sprint.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Tom Stubbe with an attack, but he is far behind in the GC

 

[Jamsque]

For who is Sky working now?

Anyone help me?

Based on yesterday, I'm guessing Gerrans and/or Kennaugh.

santa claus is coming to town!
