Tour de Pologne

[roundabout]

That was pretty beastly.

 

[Gloin22]

So Moser won?
Didn't watch anything. How did he win?
I'm becoming more and more his fanboy, the guy is a beast

He won a sprint out of around 25 - 35 riders.

Kolobnev attacked with 1km and looked sure to win - but blew up. Moser won it verryy easily.

1st - Moser
2nd - Kwiatkowski
3rd - Boom
4th - Mori
5th - Wegmann

This young guy is so good, he might even distract the Clinic from their current hot topic.

It seems LP Nordhaug crashed on the descent and couldn't make it back on the descent.

I'm 99% sure that nr 11 was Nordhaug, not Henao.

 

[roundabout]

I think the results might be false as Nordhaug keeps sliding down the order as results are updated

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I'm 99% sure that nr 11 was Nordhaug, not Henao.

I saw Henao attacking in the final and pretty sure he sprinted near the front. I didn't watch a stream as well but on my TV which has pretty good images.

 

[TeoSheva]

Confirmed.

Moser is new Sagan...

I think that Moser is pretty similar to Gianni Bugno... what do you think?

It wasn't really a sprint though. More of a last km attack. Still a great win for the young lad, of course.

100% correct, I agree.

 

[Duartista]

Now Nordhaug is 11th, Henao 12th.

 

[roundabout]

Nordhaug 11th, Henao 12th. All is right in the world.

 

[El Pistolero]

Go go Moser.

Well, they have corrected it now, but turns out we were both right

The Sky trio of Henao/Uran/Nordhaug looks incredibly strong, but I'm not sure if they can manage to get rid of Moser.

 

[TeoSheva]

Kreuziger, Slagter, Pinotti and Talansky already out from the GC

 

[El Pistolero]

I'm going for Kwiatkowski. Hope he wins something in his home race.

 

[Gloin22]

Sky were quite unlucky this time :

''"It was all looking really good for us at the top of the last climb when we had six riders right up there.

But Swifty had a puncture at a bad time so Ian [Stannard, in his first race as the newly-crowned British champion] gave him his wheel so he could try and bridge back the gap.

"However [Juan Antonio] Flecha then had a puncture too and those three riders just lost touch with the front group which was a real shame.''

Moser .. "This win makes me very happy but at the same time i can’t quite believe it, i wasn’t sure i could pull it off when i took off. i let my instincts take over: it would either work or it wouldn’t. it was the only move i could make because i wasn’t sure that the group could catch Kolobnev and there were much faster riders than me for a sprint finish. i thought about going with 500 meters to go, and put my idea into practice at the 300 meter mark. i never looked back

Sabatini has to leave the race. krankers.

Yup, watching it back Swift was right up there with the top 15-20 guys as they went over the top of the last climb. Henao and Nordhaug went to control the front of the group and then Swift punctured shortly afterwards. I guess a stage in the Vuelta is his big target this year so pleased to see that his form is good at least.

 

[greenedge]

I think Moser could definitely win this if he keeps on picking up time in the sprints. Liquigas have a strong team to support him.

Boom will be dangerous as the race goes on.
Nice to see that Swift will go to the Vuelta.
