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

That doesn't really correspond with the time table. What's the correct course?Forunculo said:
It's not a hard climb tomorrow but it's long, could be gaps
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.Forunculo said:Yes, it doesn't correspond. It's difficult to get the profiles of Tour Med
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?search said:

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.meandmygitane said:
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
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.
Boom suprised us both.. He held pretty well. Could still win it tomorrowtheyoungest said: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.

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.ingsve said:
Yeah, he did better than expected. The form for the Omloop is there.Dekker_Tifosi said:
last hill is further away from the finish then you think, i think it's going to be a reduced sprint of 30.
