Tour de l'Avenir 2016, August 20-27

[BalearicBeats]

Apparently they managed to stay away?

Edit: Wait, no, that's impossible if Albanese won the stage

 

[Strandkorb]

Albanese was part of the big break also.

 

[Brullnux]

Albanese is a talent. He won Trofeo Matteotti at just 19 years of age. Sure he outsprinted just Belletti who isn't the best sprinter in the world but still that is some achievement for someone so young.

 

[Samamba]

Only a 50" gap between Albanese en the bunch. The front group lost almost 4 minutes in the last 27k.

On flat terrain?

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

I wouldn't trust the time gaps given in the directvélo ticker too much.

 

[Thepirateisgood]

Same time for top ten, Albanese with clear victory as far as I can see

Edit: Cant' be right according to this:

Editedit: same time for top ten I mean

Yeah, I know, he was missing for some reason.

And procyclingstats is wrong about the time gaps. Tschernoster came in 4 seconds down on the winner, Ackermann was the first of the bunch at 50 seconds down. Lots of pre race favorites lost 10 seconds, including Costa.

 

[Thepirateisgood]

Am I in the wrong thread?

 

[Thepirateisgood]

Great start for Tao

 

[Thepirateisgood]

Ridiculous if PCS is correct with same time for first 42 riders. Clear gap at least for two-three first groups. First four should have at least a few seconds at the few vids I've seen so far

 

[DNP-Old]

So Egan already has a minute advantage over Costa. I like where this is going.

 

[Samamba]

They aren't correct, don't worry. The gap was 50".

 

[Thepirateisgood]

You are right Samba.
Albanese, Jansen, Tao, Van Hoydonk st, Tschernoster at 4 sec, (bunch dunno how big) at 50". Bit of a surprise on this parcours, but another reason why u23/amateour races should be televised more than pros. Attack, attack, attack!

 

[scurrrr]

In the Trofeo Matteotti Albanese escaped from the peloton 1 km to go. Peloton didn't catch him.

No idea, he's a huge talent, but so far his first season as a pro has been rather poor.

Ok, didn't know that. Still good.

Grundahl Jansen who was already in the break yesterday, was in it again today. This time he won.

 

[Thepirateisgood]

He's on fire this year. Jansen, Dibben, Denz top 3. Again, who knows about the gap - I see reports ranging from 20sec to 4 mins

Is he a sprinter? I only ask because I regard Dibben, who came 2nd, as a potential durable sprinter.

According to directvelo.com 2:48

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Denz should have had a decent kick as well. Next time maybe.

Not pure sprinter, looks to be classic type - EBH sorta maybe. Offensive though. U23 Norwegian champ of the year.
