Tour de San Luis 2016

[Vesica]

This seems to me the most accurate information, from pro cycling. Next to the stream there's a lot of non sense information..

another update: Lopez crashed in the peloton

5 K: 1'20

 

[Vesica]

Break is catched! 1K to go

 

[Guybrush]

Gaviria easily

 

[StephenC2020]

Gaviria!

Wasn't expecting the catch there

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Painful. Just painful. Either the timings were way off (possible) or those lads had a dreadful collapse.

 

[May0maniac]

Yamamoto fought like a lion.
The Colombian Cav Killer simply bossed the sprint.

It's absolutely incredible how many imbecile morons seem to follow cycling...

Ya, I thought the peloton were a minute down and they were right there all of a sudden. I think there must have been something wrong with the timings. If they had collapsed that badly I don't think Yamamoto would have been able to make as good a go of it at the end.

Still nice to have pictures, bodes well for the rest of the race!

Great sprint from Gavrialila. The future greatest sprinter on planet earth.

It's going to be fun watching Gaviria v Ewan for the next decade.

Ariel well set to collect the most top tens of the season.

[Alexandre B.]

What I like about Gaviria is that he wants to race the Classics.

A colombian on the cobbles. Why not a basque?

 

[Rollthedice]

All of sudden the peloton appeared from nowhere. Great effort from Japan, Gaviria was head and shoulders above the rest.

 

[DNP-Old]

Gaviria is already at the point where these type of victories are expected.

You took it to a whole new level!

 

[Guybrush]

It should be shortened: Gav

edit: both Godoy (42 sec) and Arriagada (52 sec) lost time. Also the Rojas bros

 

[DNP-Old]

Carapaz lost 1:23.

Ewan said last week he knows he'll never beat everyone in a flat sprint, he doesn't have the top speed for that. Says that even sprinting flat out in the slipstream of someone like Greipel or Kittel he still loses ground, so forget about ever coming around them.

He explained he'll try to do the same as Matthews, focus on classics and sprints that are slightly uphill or at the end of selective stages. He was better than Matthews at that as a youth and also reasonable in the time trial.

Greipel and Cav are slowly coming to end of their peak, only Kittel is there as mega pure sprinter. Others..Ewan should be beating already if not 1 year more..

Ewan has big chance to dominate the flat sprints there's not that many pure sprinters upcoming anyway.. , it's a dying breed it seems, more and more races require to be slightly versatile and better climber..

Who's there? Danny Van poppel, Mareczko, Bonifazio? Lol none of these are anyway better than Ewan on pure speed at all.

 

[Der Effe]

Gaviria

 

[Gloin22]

That's up for next 10 years to see

Ewan is 21. Nobody has any idea of what the upper limits of his potential are in flat sprints. Including him. He is completely right to note that the top three are simply faster than him at the moment. But he is faster than any of them were at 21.

 

[Anderis]

Ewan is still only 21.

He is being talked about for so many years that it's hard to believe he is still THAT young!
