Tour de l'Avenir (2.NCup) 23.08 - 30.08

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

The only nation with maybe 3,4 riders in the top 10 is Belgium (Vervaeke, Teuns, de Tier, maybe even Benoot).

Not Loic Vliegen?

 

[Pentacycle]

Not Loic Vliegen?

Don't think so, he's a puncheur.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Vliegen has been in astonishing form lately. Wouldn't be a surprise to see him up there, but generally he's more a puncheur, just like Pentacycle said.

Seems like they have been doing most of the work on the front so far though.

Colombia also do have the squad with Lopez, Contreras and Gaviria.

In theory, even Norway can with Eiking, Lunke and Svendsen.

gaviria is no climber at all, neither is carlos ramirez botero

I mean Brayan Ramirez, not Gaviria. I was confused because Gaviria is allways up in the top-10 the last days in the sprints.

where is a liveticker?

Direct Vélo.

Sam Oomen is currently solo in the lead, 2 minutes advance with about 5 k to go.

 

[Arredondo]

Svendsen has dropped.

He rides bad all year.

 

[Arredondo]

Also Pearson and Teuns are not in the 20-guy elite group anymore.

And now Lunke drops too.

 

[maltiv]

Svendsen has dropped.

He rides bad all year.

He was 4th in the prologue and 2nd in the MTT in Valle d'Aosta though.

But he was involved in a crash today, could be an explanation.

But still his level overall is not really good. He dropped also big time in the mountain stages in Valle d'Aosta.

 

[Arredondo]

Herklotz has cracked too.

Meanwhile, Latour attacked from the group.

 

[DNP-Old]

This race badly needs live coverage. Tickers make me too damn nervous.

 

[Arredondo]

Power is a beast! Changing bikes two times on the climb and still attacking!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

lopez detsrpoying the field now

 

[Flamin]

Lopez dropped Power and Latour

 

[Arredondo]

Lopez, i love it!

We've got a successor of Quintana and Chaves.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

lopez has dropped evberyone now but came too late for oomen and davidenok in the br4eak

 

[Arredondo]

1. Davidenok (KAZ)
2. Oomen (HOL)
3. Lopez (COL)
4. Latour (FR)
5. Power (AUS)

 

[theyoungest]

Nice win for the current Kazakh road champion, Davidenok. Oomen pretty good as well, for a first year espoir.

 

[Arredondo]

Ciccone is 5th, not Power.

Good ride by the Italian! Interesting to see where Senni finished.
