Tour de Langkawi

[Kokoso]

Didn't you end up with a Wiggins avatar by picking Kreuziger to beat Wiggins in the Romandie TT when Wiggins was looking untouchable?

Is that so, really? But possibly yes, I don't remember that. Now I have the right avatar
Surely, this year is Rujanos' year just like the last one or whichever one.

Stage 4 highlights, Guardini was close, he better win at least one stage before the end.

I love the riders straight over to the firetruck at the finish. Must be hot

So lone leader Travis Meyer has been increasing his lead for the last hour. Came down for the first time in the last time check but still over 8 minutes.

With over 12 minutes from the leader isn't a challenger for GC. Actually thinking about it the current game would put him 2nd overall as he is about to reach the base of the climb.

Could be good for Weening and Sulzberger as they can just sit on and not do any work.

So with 30 km to go can he hold on? Not a great climber so I don't like his chances but haven't seen a proper profile of the climb, does anybody have one?

20km lost 2 minutes. 25 km to go with tab under 7 minutes lead, the climbing really starts now

 

[Ferminal]

Kash must have punctured.

Massive fog on Genting.

 

[Afrank]

Stage 5
1. Arredondo
2. Weening
3. Niño
4. Pardilla
5. Stetina

Arredondo new GC leader.

Yeah but was back with the group before the action started

Result
Arredondo, Weening, Nino

Not sure on time gaps to Haas so podium currently Arredondo, Weening and then either Haas or Pardilla


Looks like Haas lost a lot more time than I thought
Gc:
1. Arredondo
2. Weening, 1.22
3. Pardilla, 2.10
4. Stetina, 2.33
5. Wang, 2.40
6. Grmay, 2.45
7. Kolahdozhagh, st
8. Baliani 2.49

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Kash felt sorry for the other riders, so he let them win. Nothing to worry aboutm he is going to destry the field this May

 

[jens_attacks]

well arredondo just dominated this

seems like wang won't be the first chinese tour winner after all

 

[Mad Elephant Man]

So the stage was won by 30 seconds to Weening second. 1:12 to Pardilla in 4th. 1:35 to Stetina in 5th.
How good is the Ethiopian Grmay? He is only 21.
Wang lost over 5 minutes.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Looks like perfect conditions for the Colombian, who wiped the floor with the other contenders. So Mr Arredondo will now defend the jersey together with his five team mates over the next 5 stages. They are all flat, but it will not be a walk in the park.

Stage 6:

Ok, 218km in Malaysian heat and humidity? This could be 6 hours in the saddle during the hottest part of the day.

 

[greenedge]

Nice to see Weening go well. Guardini to finally start winning on stage 6 pls. Then all i need is Coquard and Von Hoff to come 2nd and 3rd- then my cq team will be going well. Haas let me down.

 

[the asian]

Oh, Monsalve only 11th Let me down big time.

Current GC top 3

1.Arredondo
2, Weening +1.22
3.Pardilla +2.10.


A great stage to Genting as usual. Time gaps between the first 16 riders.

Iranian guy in 6-th place also very young, he was born in 1993

Missed that, he is 18 months younger. It is only the Tour of Langkawi but it does show a little bit of promise from both of them.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

very glad with koladozhag, he is the biggest iranian talent perhaps ever. he dominated asian juniors as well and he's still only 1993! glad they have a succesor to mizbani and askari who are getting old

Congratz with a Colombian victory

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

also glad with arredondo. he was one of the riders of the magic antioquia team of the vuelta porvenir in 2005 with henao and uran as well.

looking forward to the future of arredondo. i guess some big team will sign him pretty quickly?

Lankawi is the sort of early season race Team Colombia should enter (if eligible). Close to ideal training.

 

[Netserk]

Early calender for them should be:
Tour de San Luis
Tour of Oman
Tour de Langkawi

Then they would be ready to rock Tirreno and Catalunya

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

What is Rolland doing

He better win LBL to make up for this.

Rolland is not only similar to Andy Schleck in style. He's only good in Liege and in July.

lol, a complete clone.
Crushing everybody on AdH in July, now getting beaten by Van Rensburg on Genting.

 

[Escarabajo]

My guess is yes. He is only 24 years old. If I am a team manager I have to take a look at his talent.
