Tour de San Luis (2.1) Januari 21-27 (11 WT / 27 teams total)

[Parrulo]

Well maybe because you are the biggest nibali fan on the forum it may be january but I think everyone expected more.

nibali will ride TA, MSR, the ardennes, Giro, Vuelta, Worlds and lomabardy and the vuelta is the only race he will take as preparation, because of the worlds.

with that kind of schedule i never expected him to be good in january, so i don't know what expectations you are talking about.

about contador? meh call me when he isn't performing at TA, then i will think about being "disappointed"

The Europeans are only interested in having a good vacation.

nice, in reality Europeans just like to wheelsuck a lot these days.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Lol Hushovd last all alone

Not really my favourite rider, but it would be nice for him if he gets at least a kind of normal season again.

Peter Sagan ‏@petosagan

Today was very hot day but everything is ok..I come to the finish in groupeto.i don't crash but my team mate Koch yes,i hope he staying good

Funny that by "finishing in gruppetto" he actually means finishing 69th, shortly after Rodriguez, just ahead of Betancur and 13 minutes ahead of the real gruppetto with Cav and the likes.

 

[Angliru]

I hope not, that would be so stupid. He can't become Andy v2.0.

Let's be real now. Andy of years past this early in the season would've finished with the sprinters, not in the top 20.

 

[Angliru]

last year he had no form either and he still did well.

He's obviously over-the-hill and past his prime. He may as well hang up his jersey and make a full-time effort of raising his birds. Maybe he could help coach Andy back into top form and live vicariously through his accomplishments. We should now be playing taps over Contador. The fat lady is singing and Contador is developing a gut like Dario Pieri.

 

[cineteq]

[jens_attacks]

Yeah he should just quit, sky is too much anyways.

It's clear that he doesn't have it anymore. I mean it's january and he didn't top 10 in the first mountain stage.

Serious problem!!!

And oh yea he had cramps but still he didn't top 10!!!

 

[cineteq]

What do you expect?

why you put out santambrogio?

Done.

 

[TeoSheva]

Done.

thanks

actually I really believe that Santambrogio will have a great year: the last year he had only three opportunities for itself:

San Sebastian: 6th
Piemonte: 6th
Il Lombardia: 4th

this year he will be the leader so he can show something...

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

why you put out santambrogio?

because he sucks in itt.

I'd also put diaz on the list. his itt is pretty good

Castroviejo FTW

 

[jens_attacks]

kwiatkowski will storm this
but i just hope both diaz and diniz won't lose a lot of time

 

[Froome19]

Tejay is probably the best here. Kwiatowski outclimbed him, but Tejay has generally showed better TT form than climbing form so I would not be surprised to see him atop of the podium tonight.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

tjvg's itt is so much better than kwiatkowski, kwiatkowski isn't amazing or anything in itt. he lose 30 seconds to tjvg I think

 

[Miburo]

Edit: should have checked the previous page...

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

any updates with live times?

liveciclismo seems to update it.

 

[trevim]

I think this will stay between Kwiatkowski and Van Garderen. Or Alex Diniz

 

[CraZyCaLL]

...4 Nazaret (FUN) 25:38. Don't know why, but Nazaret looks pretty bad in San Luis this year
