Tour de Wallonie Picarde - 29th September to 2nd October

[daveinzambia]

Not convinced by Sky pulling for Downing. Surely Henderson or Sutton are the better option?

 

[greenedge]

Yeah i think Sutton would have been a good bet. Maybe because it was uphill???

I'd like to see Robbie winning

2nd Veelers, 3rd Petit

I was wondering which of those three would be favoured. Sutton's win today has decided the hierarchy.

Am I missing something here or is it a sort of "Backstedt is a Welshman" thing?

I just meant Aussie's won the first 2 stages and didn't win the third.

They were definitely setting downing up on first stage but he could not finish it. Think they were offering him a chance in this as a thank you for work earlier in season but he just did not have the legs

strangely saw a comment that Downing was on suttons wheel on second stage too (guarding his position?) so not sure if he ran out of legs again and sutton went for it.

Obviously Sutton is in charge now.

OK. I was thinking of a sort of Haussler situation, but where he opted for the Netherlands, but it didn't seem to work.

Live streams have started.. still about 80km to go

This stage should be right up Libertine and Pistol's street.
A good job Cav isn't riding.

McEwen takes last stage + GC

 

[Mellow Velo]

Old man McEwen beats young man Guardini and nobody is home to see it.

 

[CasperVg]

Not a good sprint by Sutton.. was delivered into a perfect position by the 4-man Sky train but from there on all he did was lose places and eventually came in as 4th.

McEwen (wins GC)
Guardini
Seb. Chavanel
Sutton
Veelers
