Tour Méditerranéen 2.1 (6th-10th February)

[Maaaaaaaarten]

There are no bonus seconds. Otherwise Peraud would currently be leading this race

Oh, in that case Boom just needs to TT away in the last few kilometers.

 

[theyoungest]

BTW great race by the Colombians, once again.

 

[will10]

Are there more complete results knocking about anywhere yet?

 

[Forunculo]

It's not a hard climb tomorrow but it's long, could be gaps

That doesn't really correspond with the time table. What's the correct course?

Yes, it doesn't correspond. It's difficult to get the profiles of Tour Med

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

That looks like the correct profile to me, but the scale is a bit off. Here's a less exaggerated profile.

I think they left out the final lap.

Okay, ta. That's quite a hard final few k's, uphill sprint. A few seconds gap isn't out of the question. What's Löfkvist's sprint like?

I hope very good! But I don't know.

It flattens out towards the end but I doubt RadioShack will be able to control this with King, Jungels and Rohregger. Monfort is not an explosive rider and can't follow attacks. Too bad for him...

He is a diesel so he can't sprint, but he can do good with attacks in the hard finishes. As he did a few years ago when he won that years Strade Bianche. So I think he needs to go some distance before the finish line.

This final looks real promising!

Yeah, I was sort of kidding, but Löfkvist is quite explosive, more explosive than Monfort at any rate. I think he's in with a big chance for the overall. First race for IAM, first win.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Rabobank should send TGBM to attack on the long climbs so the other teams have to work then when they catch him Boom goes in the final and gets a second on Monfort

 

[gruppeto993]

do you reckon a lot of guys will be left after the final climb? Because if yes then the sprinters' teams will have a chance for a win maybe.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yes, that's the most logical bet. Once again Boom has convinced himself he can climb, and once again tonight it will turn out he can't

I also expect something from Talansky, I don't know why but I do.

Boom suprised us both.. He held pretty well. Could still win it tomorrow

 

[ILovecycling]

Nice race,I wish good legs for Peraud tomorrow...anyway Roche,duhh I hoped for better result

Are you joking? Löfkvist is the biggest diesel you're ever likely to find. The only riders Löfkvsit can beat in a sprint are the Garmin guys and that's only because they don't have any bikes left.

Monfort is a bigger diesel. Löfkvist won't sprint away from the pack, but he's better on hills than Monfort. Hence he has a chance on that finish.

Yeah, he did better than expected. The form for the Omloop is there.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

last hill is further away from the finish then you think, i think it's going to be a reduced sprint of 30.

Did you watch the finish video? That's a hard final. Could create gaps.

Unfortunately, today the fourth-stage hill climb in the south of France with Toulon Rousset-ascent Mt.Faron I had to cancel because of the viruses associated with the stomach. Follows a brief recovery and training for Paris-Nice

 

[togo95]

Kreuziger quited for the same reason.

I did, still can't see it happening. We'll see tomorrow I guess
