Tour de l'Avenir 2012

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Lutsenko, Villella and Wellens attacked.

Jungels drops again quite early.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Looks like Lutsenko and Boswell make it. Last km.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Alexey Lutsenko is a rider like Tony Gallopin. Not choices in GCS.

stage 5:

1. Alexey Lutsenko
2. Ian Boswell

Olivier dropped from the Barguil group.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

So Barguil is overrated

So Barguil is overrated

Why that? He did a great job today. Like all those other "no GC guys" (Lutsenko, Wellens) - the depth of cycling knowledge in this forum never fails to amaze me.


1 Alexey Lutsenko (Kazakhstan)
2 Ian Boswell (Etats-Unis)
3 Mattia Cattaneo (Italie)
4 Juan Chamorro (Colombie
5 Tim Wellens (Belgique)
6 Warren Barguil (France)
7 Davide Villella (Italie)
8 Sergey Pomoshnikov (Russie)
9 Sergey Chernetski (Russie)
10 Jan Polanc (Slovenie)

Chamorro new leader with a few seconds in front of Barguil.

Yeah. And when your favourites are dropped you simply ignore it

Interesting dynamic to such a short stage, new names coming to the fore. Villella, for instance.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

I expected Villella to be third force behind Cattaneo and Penasa, he seems to have overhauled the latter.

BTW, Barguil keeps the GC lead - one second in front of Chamorro.

What type of rider is Jay McCarthy?

 

[Jason_Mercier]

What type of rider is Jay McCarthy?

Michael Albasini, more faster and climb a bit better.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Also is a powerful rider, able to tt well in short distance.

 

[SafeBet]

You all know Lutsenko is goin for the GC

[Dekker_Tifosi]

what was the last one?

riis on sestrieres?

 

[jens_attacks]

Ieri il kazako Alexey Lutsenko aveva tentato l'impresa andando in fuga dopo 3 km ed attaccando da solo sul Télégraphe, ma a 7 km dall'arrivo il suo sogno si è infranto. Non si è però perso d'animo, oggi ci ha riprovato ed ha vinto, arrivando da solo sul traguardo di Les-Saisies, nella tappa mutilata dal maltempo.


that sounds like he's a real warrior
probably i will end up as a fanboy in less than two years

He's wonderful.
I'm already a fanboy and I have seen him ride for a total of three times.

So, last stage running. And finally some live pictures: http://video-direct.france3.fr/player.php?id=1567

Russians do the pace work, Barguil sits comfortably in fifth, sixth position.

Only in France

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Or in proxyland

Dominik Fuchs (SUI) attacked, but no one really cares behind. Colombians are quite present at the front of the leader's group.

 

[janraaskalt]

I am not getting that to work. Stupid geoblock - it is not that the race is commercially interesting.

Maybe you could write some updates with information about the race and how the riders ride (easy, in difficulty)?

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

They're now on the Aravis descent - Barguil was first over the line, but only to comfortably put some more clothes under his jersey. Maybe 30 guys left in the leading group, with the Colombians looking quite strong.

Barguil, Olivier and Boswell now in front on the descent.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

All of the leading group back together again with the descent over. Now the climb to the Croix-Fry start. Same scene, Colombia leading. Slovenia (Polanc?) and Russia behind.

Barguil still looks very easy-going.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Barguil first at the Croix-Fry, too. But still no attacks.
