Tour de Romandie 2012

[Richeypen]

that's a good question. a road bike would be very useful for the climb and even the descent if it is technical one.

There isnt a descent is there?

 

[Ferminal]

There isnt a descent is there?

There is near the start, two corners and two hairpins.

I think they might lean towards the road bike, even at the top it's never really flat, and the longest bit of "straight" road is about 1km.

Indeed, let's se how he will do in a month at the Dauphine.

Well, again we have another stage race where the classement throughout,
has been determined by time bonuses and an initial, short prologue.
Tomorrow, the whole bunch will get re-shuffled, not mano a mano, but mano a solo.
Pee poor parcours, UK Postal, whatever.
A dire edition of a now regularly drab event.

We may see Wiggo's Col d'Eze special.

well, if he can improve his placing with a couple of minutes a day i would say we have the tour winner right there

Wiggins will win the overall, but I'm thinking Mollema ahead of Rogers for 2nd. The steeper climbs don't suit Rogers, and Mollema is more than serviceable on the flat.

Wiggins may win the stage like Paris-Nice too. Like WS and Parrulo, I don't see him losing enough that he can't take it back and then some on the flat (and that's if he loses anything at all on the climbing part, which is far from certain).

Hope to see something form Klödi tomorrow, as he gets better and better at the moment.
maybe he can still top 10

Mollema says he doesn't feel great anymore. And I reckon Rogers is just coming into form, so normally he should beat Bauke.

Twee mooie zeges van Sanchez vandaag en gisteren! Zoals de hele week is het parcours zo lastig dat er met een kleinere groep gesprint wordt. Een Sanchez in vorm kan dat super! Ik voel me zelf niet zo goed meer dan in de klassiekers, maar sta toch nog prima in het klassement. Morgen een lastige tijdrit (net verkend: alleen maar op en af) dus nog 1 keer helemaal voluit voor een mooi resultaat!

Groet,
Bauke

Im sure he can squeeze out one more super TT before going into relax mode.

TGBM is quite into talking down his chances.

 

[theyoungest]

TGBM is quite into talking down his chances.

No he's not, actually before the TT in Pais Vasco he said: this really suits me, especially if it rains. He can normally make a pretty fair assessment of his chances.

He has reconned the course already and says it's up and down all the way to the finish, pretty much what we knew already.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

yeah I couldn't reach Mollema's website (CGI error). But if that's the case then Rogers will probably beat him.

Wonder what Clement and Kelderman can do

 

[Kokoso]

If Kreuziger beats Wiggins in the TT (let alone on GC) I will take an avatar of your choice for a month. If the opposite is true, you take a Wiggo avatar for a month. Interested?

I'm a fan of RK but he won't be competing for more than a top 5 here tomorrow.

Interested. But you mean cyclist avatar, don't you? Otherwise I'm not interested

Incidentally say - just imagined I had to stick there Andy Schlllleck photo. Brr, a shiver ran down my spine.

I only wish it's not Jelle Vanendert.

The Saturn sister?

 

[Woody22]

Wonder what Evans can do in the TT.

It should suit him and he looked good in todays stage.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

The Saturn sister?

lol. he will always go by that for me now
