Tour de Pologne

[burning]

Swift is a better sprinter than Cav

 

[roundabout]

Ah, Matthews. That was way too early.

 

[Gloin22]

Moser ****ed that up.

Vivani......

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Bizzare sprint.

 

[Montanus]

Damn, what a finish by Swift. Never thought he could be that strong.

 

[Pippo_San]

Viviani really had no sprint left in him at the end...excellent job by Swift it almost looked like a done deal between that Rabo guy and Viviani

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

lol swift wins a MTF?

It was a nice stage, and I like the Tour de Pologne, but is it really needed to classify that false flat as a 2nd cat climb?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Vivani......

Yeah, I just realised...

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Swift is the new Sagan.

 

[maltiv]

That was a crazy sprint by Swift. Really long in the wind!

Really weird that he wasn't selected for the Olympics. He'd be a good plan B if Cavendish is dropped.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

An interesting race was threatening to break out with Bakelandts and the quartet, but they ran out of climb to continue the show after that group was taken back. A bit like the last stage of the Tour de Suisse really.

Well.... they selected a squad with 4 Tour stage winners this year and British Champ. There's no plan B for Britain though indeed. All for CAv.

Swift was brilliant today. Had to kick twice to win it. Have to say I was hoping for something else than a bunch sprint today though.

 

[jens_attacks]

one of the craziest sprints i've ever seen wow

Those 4 stage winners won't be of any use if Cavendish is dropped early. Considering the bad form he has shown the last couple of days, that looks like a likely scenario.

 

[iZnoGouD]

Machado MUST attack tomorrow

 

[Grzdylu]

Boonen abandons

 

[Gloin22]

Machado MUST attack tomorrow

Or you loose avatar bet

But he will attack tomorrow. He loves to do that

It depends how smart his attack will be.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Well.... they selected a squad with 4 Tour stage winners this year and one token guy born in Britain. There's no plan B for Britain though indeed. All for CAv.

Bad form? He's been working like a dog for Brad for most of the last 2 weeks.

That said, given Swift's form and the hills on the Olympic course, Swifty would be a very good plan B. Difficult to have 2 plans in a 5 man team, mind. I'd imagine Sky have Switft earmarked for La Vuelta. A decent bet for the green jersey there, I reckon.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Machado MUST attack tomorrow

Thanks for that.
I've watched every stage, but hadn't realised he was in the race.

 

[iZnoGouD]

Thanks for that.
I've watched every stage, but hadn't realised he was in the race.

ofc with all these **** stages he just needed to hide and save energy for a suicide attack tomorrow

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Stage 6

 

[sucotash]

The main difficulty is the Gilczarow climb.

 

[El Pistolero]

Lol, not really. Porte and Rogers have been working like a dog.

Anyway, this is the Tour of Poland, not the Olympic road race... Ben Swift is not a good one day racer and most likely never will be.
