Tour de Langkawi

[theyoungest]

I've heard nothing so far. I wonder if they have the balls to try him out in the Tour (with the risk of him not finishing after the first mountains)

Last year they brought Renshaw, they might as well bring Bos.

The loved Kazach warrior Kashechkin lost 1.36 today.

Well, it surely can't be worse.

 

[Task_Force]

Well, it surely can't be worse.

Graeme Brown as mainsprinter??

 

[Der Effe]

Graeme Brown as mainsprinter??

Game, set, match. You nailed this one.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Graeme Brown as mainsprinter??

Well then you might as well go for broke and re-hire Hans Dekkers to be the main sprinter

Ouch.. Guess the winning margin won't be as big as expected then

 

[theyoungest]

Honestly I don't think Renshaw is much faster than Brown. I really don't know what they see in him, other than a leadout which he doesn't want to be.

 

[Ferminal]

They have to justify his contract though

giving the other guys a headstart before the mountains

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Kash either fell or had a puncture today probably.

Maybe, although none of the guys currently at the team had anything to do with signing him. They didn't even know about it until after the fact.

A fall or a puncture. Since he is at 81th in the gc 20 seconds behind Bos.

lol, more like the last 2 laps of a keirin than a road sprint

How typical is it that Fenn again is much better in a 116 km race, than in yesterday's 163 km race? He doesn't seem to develop at all, his endurance is really problematic. I Haven't really seen him perform in races over 150 km.

Really? Doesn't seem much of a problem to me.

You obviously don't watch any races with British commentators!

Monsalve just missing top 5, but hopefully he can kill it on Genting in stage 5.

Haas FTW. Another minor placing for my CQ team.
