Bump - any thoughts anyone?

Niemic to go well in his home tour?

 

[Kwibus]

Shame this Tour is at the same time as the TdF. Allthough it's a good ride for all riders not at the tour.
I always liked watching it, but now I probably will watch recaps since it's at the same time as the Tour.

 

[roundabout]

I get the feeling that there will be plenty of late finishes this year so that it doesn't overlap with TdF. I'll have to check the schedule though.

Liquigas & Sky both sending good teams.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Pozzovivo can do well!

Hopefully Slagter will show something to although i dont know much about his current form.

 

[maltiv]

So, who will be 3rd behind Henao and Nordhaug?

pff... easy one. Uran!

 

[sucotash]

The stages will finish late, so we will have the possibility to watch both races.

I do not know how foreign riders will be prepared, we will see tomorrow who is here to ride the GC. We should have a group of about 50 riders at the end.

About Polish riders...

Huzarski and Niemiec should do very good in the GC. Both seems in great shape/

Omega duo is also good prepared but I do not know if it is not too hard for them on sunday.

Rutkiewicz ( he is always strong on TdP ) is having a great season in Polish races, but I have some doubts because he had some injury roblems lately.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

EL Garrion De Cazona for the win but liquigas will be the best team.

Stage 1 “Gołębiewski” Karpacz – Jelenia Góra | 179,5 km

Stage 2 Wałbrzych – Opole | 239,4 km

Stage 3 Kędzierzyn – Koźle – Cieszyn | 201,7 km

Stage 4 Będzin – Katowice | 127,8 km

Stage 5 Rabka Zdrój – Zakopane | 163,1 km

Stage 6 Bukovina Terma Hotel Spa – Bukowina Tatrzańska | 191,8 km

They always have late finishes.

Today's stage already looks somewhat interesting, unlike other years when the first 3-4 stages were pan flat affairs to a boring backdrop.

I feel bad for Timmy Duggan. I think he would be doing better than Szymd is currently doing at the tour if he had been given the chance. So do you think Capecchi or Moser will be going for the GC? Also, where is Paterski?

Do you think boonen will win any stage?

Paterski is sick, he was supposed to ride in France

 

[iZnoGouD]

boring route, they could at least add a TT or something

 

[iZnoGouD]

very easy for Machado

 

[Netserk]

Do you think boonen will win any stage?

I think today is the only stage he has a chance to win, though that would require him to get to the finish with the bunch
Otherwise I can only see him podium the three flat stages.

I don't see him winning any stage, i could be very wrong though.

Cieszyn stage should suit him if he will survive the difficulties

The finish, is on a cobbled about one kilometer climb. Not a typical sprint finish.

 

[Gloin22]

very easy for Machado

You're the guy that said Wiggins can't Time Trial yesterday and Evans would beat Wiggins easily ?

Ahh, yes. You are.

Admittedly, I'm rooting for Teklehaimanot. I'd like to see the young Eritrean rider do something on the world stage...

Sure, Wiggins can time trial.

Just not as good as Machado.
