[Bye Bye Bicycle]

56th year, some nice stages here, few riders from Pro Tour, few continental teams.

With "few riders from Pro Tour" you mean exactly one - Juraj Sagan.

A lot of good and promising sprinters are riding: Alafaci, Kurth, Stauff, Wippert, Kuznetsov, Boev, Rossi...

GC favorites must be Zoidl, Eibegger, Rutkiewicz and Schumacher.

Future

Could become interesting race in the near future as cycling starts to be very popular in Slovakia because of Sagan's and Velits brothers ... And nice roads and tracks from windy lowland stages for sprinters to high montains hard climbs could be used to make it more interesting and chalenging.

Davide rebellin won today.

creepy form for the italian nationals.unfortunately i think he will beat the shiit out of il killer

Ordine d'arrivo
1. Davide Rebellin (Meridiana Kamen)
2. Sergueï Rudaskov (Itera Katusha) a 15"
3. Jan Hirt (Nazionale Slovacca Under 23)
4. Riccardo Zoidl (Ärbo Gourmetfein) a 40"

a win is a win.

 

[El Pistolero]

Gilbert should ditch Vino as a training partner and go out with Rebellin more. At least he wins

Glad Rebellin won again, sucks that he's too old to find a decent team because I think he deserves to be at least in a good pro conti team.

His problem in finding a team wasnt releated at his age (just think how many WT points he could still get) but sounded like UCI's pressure to teams to avoid him.
