Tour de Langkawi

[Ferminal]

It's Langkawi... a Vosges stage winner in the Tour is far better than many other Genting top5s.

Stetina is a bit dissapointement for me, I expected him to do next step. Arredondo was great. I don't understand how Weening could finish second in stage 5...was it such a poor field or what?
Rolland...one of the most overhyped guys around.

Weening is no top climber but he's not horrible either, he finished top 10 in the dauphine after all

Weening is not a bad climber.

Having said that, February is not July.

NIPPO - DE ROSA got some help today:

and they may need additional bodies for the next few stages.

Stage 7

No way of telling if these bumps are useful, so lets call it a flat stage.

Interesting, the Zoncolan at the beginning doesn't even count for the KOM comp.

lol, in reality the Malaysians needs to look at the Tour of Oman parcours to see how they can build a couple of "flat" stages which will give GC guys a chance to do something after the Genting showdown. It doesn't take much, just one or two small hills near the end of the stage.

Were Davis and Kruopis sprinting against each other?

One was probably leading out the other, I was going from Langkawi's twitter feed so didn't see it live.

That would indicate the first 4 got a gap on the rest for Davis to hang on for fourth. Kruopis has been the main sprinter although it seems Davis sprinted yesterday against Guardini for 6 or 7th. Kruopis finished in the same group.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Guamborghini strikes!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

How about that, Guardini back in Business. Now we need a bit of video to see the final action.

 

[greenedge]

Congrats to Guardini. Now you just need to win the remainder with Coquard and Von Hoff also placing well.

It was about time.

Be prepared for domination in July

how many pan flat stages of less than 100km length are there in the Tour this year?

 

[Ferminal]

At least one!

Not a fan but would be funny if he took Yellow on day one...

Toys would be flying out of the pram...

Stage 8:

This only looks good on paper.

Still riders are getting tired and Team Nippo - De Rosa will be working hard again.

He'll just have to hope Theo Bos won't be there

I think Guardini will attack on the climb. Just to prove a point about the ridiculous profiles.

And he'll win solo.

Were Davis and Kruopis sprinting against each other?

Just saw the replay and it looked like they were. They got split up at the end and both went for it

So they both thought the other was not there and went for it. Funny as OGRE are supposed to be good at sprint trains.

Coquard He was due after being out of contention the last few.
