Tour de Pologne 2.WT 31/07 - 06/08

[Tank Engine]

To Libertine: Totally agree with you on Marek. I did mention him, but maybe we were posting at the same time.

In anything like decent form, Haedo would really fancy his chances in the first 3 stages. The Central European plain is perfect for him. I wouldn't rule him out, but certainly a question mark.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

People are tipping some good guys for the sprints, but theres someone there who is faster than them, though unfortunately worse in every other aspect and will probably be on poor form.

JJ Haedo.



I know but theres 2009

Castilla y León.

Scarponi may actually target this afterall.

100 points are on offer and he's currently fourth. If he wins the overall, he will be in third position 126 points behind Evans.

Are we going with individual stage threads?

 

[dlwssonic]

Are we going with individual stage threads?

I'd vote just leave it in this thread, but it is up to you mr. mod
doesn't really matter either way.

 

[jobiwan]

Are we going with individual stage threads?

I'd keep it in one thread, just my opinion!
But Cali and the TDU (the TDU ) got individual threads (I made most of the Cali ones ), so it can go either way!

Jacek Morajko is in the break! Nice jersey too

He has a team-mate with him and CCC PP is helping drive the pace in the peloton - Polish logic?

 

[Kvinto]

the break has 2:15. Skill-Shimano works for Kittel in the main group.

Morajko isnt there I think, I think its Bartlomiej Matysiak.

[Sasquatch]

Cheers guys

 

[Ruudz0r]

Does anyone know who the guy from Rabo is who is almost constantly leading the peleton? Is it Slagter? (I hope not)

 

[Nielsa]

and now showing live coverage on the road.

Thanks, appreciated.

I like that they have a reporter on a vespa following the riders.

 

[Kvinto]

32.4km to go, 1:21

 

[Tuarts]

Sprinters:
Haussler
Sagan
Boonen
Pozzato
JJ Haedo
Degenkolb
Kristoff
Stannard?
Gasparotto
Blythe
Brown/Matthews
Fernandez
Feillu
Kittel

Miss anyone?

Sagan or Degenkolb for me. Someone from Rabobank must be feeling strong and possibly Feillu if his tendonitis is gone.

 

[Kvinto]

Ulissi sprinter you must be joking
