Tour de Luxembourg 2023 (September 20-24)

[Earns1985]

Typical stage race where the TT is far too long and for this reason far too crucial. Yesterday had been the second hardest stage and there hasn´t been any time gaps, which we also will not see on stage 2 and 5.
10 km should be maximum for TT in such a race..

Or even better have no ITT.

Anybody got an idea on who Bora are riding for? Meeus I suppose.

 

[Rob5091]

A good shower could liven things up ... but looks like a sprint to me.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Death, taxes, and Jez Cox not recognising the winner.

Also, what was Campenaerts even trying to do?

 

[Samamba]

Ok Campenaerts

[Rob5091]

Messy old sprint but chapeau Arkea & Biermans. Waited and just got past SKA. Chapeau to everyone for staying upright in the rain.

Jordi Meeus needs quite specific circumstances to win a sprint. A slight uphill, cobbles, and the Arc de Triomphe.

Stage 3 and 5 harder than stage 1

On second thought, cancel this race.

Hansen missed out today - it rained - "Neutralize the stage!"

 

[staubsauger]

Gosh, the, riders even rode cautious so nothing happened.

Adam Hansen is totally uncalled-for!

 

[yaco]

Hansen is doing his job as the leader of the Riders Association - I am certain that some riders will use the opportunity to chew Hansen's ear.

So, guys. Where were the goats? I clearly requested goats on the route, not just rain.
🐐

you clearly knew that this chance was gone when Pinot retired yesterday. They are all back in France already.

Does he only talk to World Tour teams? Is the CPA some sort of elitist organization?

You should stand on the road yourself and sing like your compatriot.

Oh Pardon, sind Sie der Graf von Luxemburg?
Oh Pardon, sind Sie der große Mann von Welt?

Who is this compatriot of mine who sings in German?

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Who is this compatriot of mine who sings in German?

After all, some of your compatriots have learned German as a third language in primary school?

Otherwise, the Feinschmecker edition would be singing in Lëtzebürgesch.



*edit* I must be the luckiest man on earth having On Demand services for watching pro bike races on delayed signal?

 

[staubsauger]

Who is this compatriot of mine who sings in German?

Dorthe Kollo (Larsen).
"Sind Sie der Graf von Luxemburg?" was a No. 5 @ the German Charts!

She also sang the German version of Papa Pingouin which was the Luxembourgish entry for the 1980 Eurovision Song Contest! (by Sophie & Magaly )

Someone who my father once/possibly multiple times drove to a ferry at the Port of Aarhus.

In Denmark she's probably most famous for the Danish version of Wärst du doch in Düsseldorf geblieben.

So you've given up with the glue then? Mind you just tell Hansen some protester has glued themselves to the road and he'll cancel the entire race tout suite! Regradless if the protest is in Denmark.
