Cat 2 climb 70 Km form the finish, a moderately rolling run in and a slightly uphill finish.

Bos surely the favourite again.

Bos also isn't that inconsistent, Waterloo Sunrise probably wouldn't know looking only at Cav, but if Bos is in a good position at 200 m to go he's always a threat.

Of course, that's entirely consistent with what I said, but nevermind.

 

[theyoungest]

No it's not, you named inconsistency as a problem, ánd positioning. But nevermind.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Brutal last 5km, until you look a bit closer. Guardini will be closer this time, but Bos is on a roll.

I don't normally have you down as a poster who doesn't know the meaning of words, but we all have our moments I suppose.

There is absolutely nothing inconsistent (if you'll pardon the pun) between saying someone has poor positioning and is inconsistent, with saying that when they position themselves correctly they're bloody fast.

Coquard came from a long way back. Bos won't have it all his own way this week.

 

[Dedelou]

Video.

10char

well thank you for that video

 

[Ferminal]

If the teams are smart Guardini and Bos will not be there.

[Dekker_Tifosi]

This could repeat itself again and again.
Well except on the hard stages ofcourse

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

[Ruudz0r]

1 Bos 2 Guardini 3 Kruopis 4 Coquard 5 Fenn 6 Chicci 7 Von Hoff 8 ? 9 Schnaidt 10 ?

 

[Roude Leiw]

Coquard needs someone dropping him off in front, he again started from far behind. Bos barely made it, started the sprint quite early

 

[Hugo Koblet]

3, 2... Next time it's Guardini time

I was expecting a bit more from Schnaidt here, but hopefully he'll be better and better as the race moves forward.

He did start it very early, that's why he barely made it. Drop Bos off at 200/150m and it's 10 bike lengths again.

 

[Roude Leiw]

He actually said in the interview post race that when he went out, he thought the line was nearer, so he mistimed his sprint a bit, but anyway, he won and seems to be the strongest there. I am impressed by Coquard and it would interest me how he would fare against Bos with a proper lead out

 

[theyoungest]

Great work from Brown again. Although dropping him off at 400 m to go was maybe not ideal

Bos barely made it, yeah because his sprint was ridiculously long.

Wow....loooooong sprint!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Any news on wich GT Bos is riding?

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)

 

[Lanark]

The Tour would be a mistake I think, he would get killed in those hectic and fast finales. Then again, the Giro has barely 2 or 3 stages that would suit him. The Vuelta is probably the best bet?
