Miraitowa.

P.S. Flowers are just not any kind of flowers and are (story behind) rather special too.

Season over due to an accident in training. Damn

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Ban cars!

That's a sad way to end what was looking to become a better season for him, than I what imagined when his break was announced.
At least the injury doesn't sound too bad.

Damn that's sad. He seemed to be getting into a very good shape...
Apparently broken right wrist - surgery tomorrow.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

He really can't catch a break these past few years...

Ban cars!

Seconded.

 

[Red Rick]

He was reconning his own sportive....

He seemed really upbeat and optimistic about the races remaining this year.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeah. I want that car driver sued!

I'm a little bit confused about his usage of the word "deception". Who's deceiving who?

It seems to be a translation of the sentence "Dat is heel zuur". It makes no sense at all!

 

[Red Rick]

"Deceptie" is often used as something like "debacle" or "catastrophe" in Dutch.

Anyway, Roglic gave a powerpoint presentation on the good luck of coming back from crashes and disaster so Dumoulin is now trying to replicate that maybe?

In French, "déception" means disappointment.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Get well soon Tom.

 

[jmdirt]

Not a good thing for a guy who was just getting back after not liking cycling so much. I hope that he can mentally weather this.

He’s come through worse things physically and mentally than breaking a wrist in the past. I’m quite sure he’ll be just fine.

odd how that word snuck in, for a dutch rider, on a dutch team’s site/twitter.
the truth is out there. recuperate* tommy.

Tom came second in a 10 kilometer run in Maastricht today. His time was 32:38.

I for one have no *** clue how fast this is for a bike rider with probably very little running experience

It's pretty crazy fast.

A decent runner runs 1 km in about 4-5 minutes. Above average exerciser.

This guy ran way below 4 minutes closer to 3 minutes. Thats close to elite level. They run about 2:40-50.

 

[tobydawq]

It's a much better performance than Yates' sub-three hour marathon from last week, I would say.

Three hours is a realistic target for most male runners who train seriously. 32.5 on a 10 k isn't.

I dont know the course of Barcelona marathon but are there a lot of hills? Could affect the time somewhat compared to if Maastricht 10k was a flat course.

Best solution to settle this. Tom runs Barcelona marathon next year and A. Yates run Maastricht 10k.

I think it's quite flat. They don't go up to Montjüic according to a map I could find.

 

[Red Rick]

I'd guess that on a shorter run the lack of running experience would be less of a problem, especially in regards to pacing.

Perhaps, but then again I don't think anybody participates in a marathon without having some idea as to what their pace should be.
