Tour Méditerranéen 2.1 (6th-10th February)

[theyoungest]

damn, another Moreno. What happened with the Van?

Van Morrison?

you should've seen romandie, or classics 2008
but with the amound of 'help' he had it's worth nothing now. still sad

Still, there probably was some talent there. We'll see this year, I guess.

 

[RHRH19861986]

At least I don't think so?! I just assumed, but it would surprise me if there was live coverage

Yeah, I think I remember the same, read it here on CN or on a German forum. Last year, it also was only 3-4 minutes clips from every stage, compareable to Marseillaise and Besseges. Sad, Tour Med deserves a live coverage IMHO, though it´s "only" 2.1 .

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Van Morrison?

Just the increasingly muddy European naming conventions (not meant negatively).

Anyway, lets see if Hofland can turn himself into The Man.

Moreno Hofland was named after Moreno Argentin. Just like Moreno Moser, probably.

BTW, 'Van' is not a first name in Dutch. 'Van' means 'from'.

****!

Team Saxo-Tinkoff will be participating with Michael Rogers, Nicholas Roche, Rory Sutherland, Evgeny Petrov, Oliver Zaugg, Roman Kreuziger along with Christopher Juul-Jensen and Bruno Pires who replaces Rafal Majka.

pfffff

why? Is he sick?

I have no idea

 

[Cykelbloggar]

I´m pretty sure that Team Androni Giocattoli-Venezuela will do a great race, and atleast one stage will be won by one of them. A good guess is that Mattia Gavazzi takes that or Franco Pellizotti. If there is any climbs I think that either Emanuele Sella or Diego Rosa will make some nice climbs.

Nordhaug replaced by Brown... some mysterious Norwegian illness again?

Brown? They'd better be careful in the sprint then if he'll be the lead sprinter.
Though Lotto is unbeatable here anyway, so it doesn't make much sense for them to send 3 sprinters. Unless Greipel gets caught in the wrong echelon today ofc, which I doubt.

Ah, your ever confident self

I don't know what's the plan, Brown is quite good in echelons so maybe that's it.
