Tour de Pologne

[SafeBet]

Good effort by Viviani. I wasn't sure he would go for the sprints with the Olympics so close.

RaboFail once again. Had a leadout going and Bos couldn't even get a Top5....

1-2 for the track omnium boys.
Rabobank again. I mean, wtf?

Failed to spot Mr Moreno Moser and the tv GC looks nuts.

Just poking some fun at the doping references here. I can understand them in the Tour thread, but this is no big deal.

Moser,II Grillo and who else? ..me?

You're not pure, you halfblood!

I meant active cyclists though: Scarponi, Trentin and Moser. And Rebellin too, but he's not really active anymore.

oh didnt know you were talking about only active ones.

Flippin' Trentin ..he is on the olympic team, Moser should have been choosen instead.

 

[argyllflyer]

more shambles from host broadcaster at finish - yesterday they didn't put up a graphic for about 5 mins announcing the winner (coupled with Moser's number falling off) then today their provisional GC omitted Moser completely - despite him being leader!

Something against the guy?

 

[sucotash]

Sorry guys, but our Polish national Tv has no idea how to broadcast cycling

 

[taiwan]

Quite a nice collection of scalps for Swift.

 

[sucotash]

Tomorrow we should have a nice stage.

Same cobbled uphill finish as last two years, nice circuit in Cieszyn, and some climbs before.

Today we had a crash, some GC guys lost time, including Rutkiewicz. So Omega boys and maybe Majk remain Polish GC hopes.

Cieszyn is a city on the Polish - Czech border. One part of the town is in Poland the other in Czech Republic. Riders will ride also through the Czech part, and Stybar wants to win the stage according to Kwiatkowski. He saidit in a TV interview.

I think I have lost count of the times that Rabobank put their entire train to the front too early and then it falls apart before the key point. They do it over and over. Usually they put the entire team on the front about 7 kms to go to set up the nominated sprinter, only for it to fall to bits at the 2 km marker. Yesterday, they were going all out but stuffed it up within the last kilometre.

Other teams religiously drill and practise their lead-outs. Why don't Rabobank? This is not an isolated case. They always do it. There appears to be a lack of cohesion, a coaching weakness and a management failure.

It's a bit amusing though. They start their leadout quite early and then cannot get any results. ever. I think rabobank is spending too much time in developing more GC hopes. And I don't see them becoming competitive in leadouts anytime soon.

More like Bos fail. Leadout was okay, Bos wasn't.

The only fail is riding for a guy who has just returned from injury.
