Pure MARKETING. Have you heard of the Tour of Utah?

Yea, but Tour de Utah would be, well, ridiculous! LOL

Pace doesnt look to be very intense judging by the gap to the break. Very dissapointing. Another 15-20 riders in a group finish probably. (although still tons of racing left). If the ticker is to be believed Aru was dropped pretty much right at the start. Going to be a looong day for him

French name of Tour de Pologne originates from '20 of XX century, when french not english was lingua franca. Then a lot of Poles were fluent in French and both countries were close in many terms. From another side, can you imagine calling this race Wyścig Dookoła Polski? I bet you'd complain about it

Was Kreuziger outside the time limit then? The only rider i found outside the time limit then is Leukemans.

Like roughly half the field that day he was outside the time limit. Like all the others in his group (Cav among others) he lost 20 points for the green jersey (IIRC, not sure about the exact amount of points) and was allowed to continue. Still outside the time limit.

Ah yes, now i can remember the Cav-story. They lost 25 minutes, but it was indeed a short stage either. Because there were put 60 riders in the same time as Kreuziger, i couldn't imagine they all finished outside the time limit.

Does anyone have a stream please?

 

[SafeBet]

So what's happening today?

 

[Netserk]

So what's happening today?

They have just gone over the third-last climb and everything is under (Tinkoff) control.

22.1km to go, nice weather, Eurosport think that Majka's going to "light it up" soon!

 

[Arredondo]

Eurosport:

''We're now reaching the foot of the most important climb of the day where all the action will start. But hey, we're doing a commercial break right now''

 

[Netserk]

So who will (and can) attack on the penultimate climb? I think Majka will wait for the last ascent (to launch his own attack).

 

[ILovecycling]

Arredondo imo

 

[Netserk]

Formolo(?) attacks.

 

[Hugo87]

Well that is steep.

Majka attacks.

 

[ILovecycling]

Formolo(?) attacks.

is/wasnt it Villela?

 

[Bushman]

Villela. Formolo behind Majka.

 

[Netserk]

Majka Monster goes!!!!!

 

[Bushman]

Majka goes!!

What a beast!

 

[cineteq]

Majka doing a Nibali...

 

[Bushman]

Izaguirre barely hanging on...

 

[SafeBet]

Why is this idiot pronouncing all italian names as if they were spanish?

 

[Bushman]

Vakoc doing well.

 

[Netserk]

Jeebus, save yourself Majka.

 

[Rollthedice]

Izaguirre barely hanging on...

It's enough.

 

[Bushman]

The last K's are uphill, right? Majka should save his power for that.
