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

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rutciewicz already 32 seconds ahead

 

[jaylew]

Wow, look at all the lapped riders.

 

[auscyclefan94]

I think bmc and possibly lampre need to start attacking. Put the pressure on Garmin and Martin.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

it will be hard to get him back as rutkiewicz is an amazing downhiller

 

[auscyclefan94]

The future bmc rider albassini is going! Come on Santa! Attack!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Albasini attacks?

 

[ScottyMuser]

where is a stream?? they don't show this on eurosport?? WTF

2 things:
1) They do show it, on BritEurosport 2
2) why would they want to when there is at least 2 better races on at the moment? Surely showing Columbia or Burgos would be a much better idea as they are much better race, with better riders, parcours and mountains? Heck, I'd rather watch Portugal than a flat 1 week mediocre tour like Poland (or ali for that matter)

The only thing good about this race is that I have a couple of good sprinters who should get me points for the PCM game; but then I also have Samu and a few others over in Burgos doing well.

This is like an Ardennes classic.
The lead group is falling apart, with the collective effect of these climbs.
It's getting dark out there.

Dekker T, When will Bauky Boy Mollema go?

It would probably help if you actually watched the race though. Today's stage is anything but flat.

 

[Barrus]

I do like how they call Mollema on the British Eurosport

Boke Mollima

 

[Mellow Velo]

Eurosport's David Harmon keeps tipping.............The Great Bauke Mollema!

[auscyclefan94]

Burgos = 2.HC
Portugal = 2.1
Colombia = 2.2
Poland = PT.

That's 1 reason.
British Eurosport will show Poland as there are more Poles in the UK; Colombia is also not in Europe... a bit outside Eurosport's remit; and the coverage of that race is hardly comprehensive at all.

Portugal is my favourite of those races since the coverage is highly professional, it has the history and tradition and great racing; but the riders at Poland are more well known for Eurosport's audience.

Bazayev... lol, of all Astana riders

he was also their best rider yesterdya, by far
