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

Just saw the air replay.
Veelers had the same speed as McEwen, but got boxed in. Could have been 2nd/3rd and saved his jersey. A shame!

that was an entertaining final 30k with constant attacks, breaks being formed and counter-breaks being formed...plus there was even a stijn devolder sighting

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

Nice one Robbie! - Shame I was out this Sunday afternoon.
Hope to highlights if/when they materialise.

Yup, seems like he got caught behind the much slower Sutton

How the hell did Guardini even get to the sprint? I thought there was a proper climb on the circuit.

strange strange tactics by sky. putting two men in breaks left them short handed for the sprint (they also lost Carlstrom yesterday).

Almost like they were all working for themselves as opposed to playing a team tactic (with the exception of stannard who worked his **** off)

I don't find it strange at all, putting riders in the break meant they didn't have to work to bring it back.

But two riders, especially a leadout guy like Downing. There were other teams that would have worked the break back, shack for instance.

But anyway.

Skil controlled the whole stage, but they forgot to control the final 5 k.

I don't think the leadout is the problem when your leadout man brings you to the lead with 100 meters to go. Can't really have a much better leadout than that! Sutton simply didn't have the legs (could barely keep Henderson's wheel).

doesn't matter, in the end, it was Sutton who was slow as f.ck in the sprint. He went backwards

 

[El Pistolero]

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

I actually was in Tournai today.

great to see Robbie doing well!! I don't think its a come back, just some nice results in the twilight of his career.

I would love to see him podium in Paris Tours but I just don't think so. hasn't had it against the stronger fields for a while.
