Tour Mediterranen

[Ruudz0r]

I remember Dan was pretty strong the day before. He's a bit inconsistent like that, certainly in the first half of the season.

Well as known that has its reasons. They tried something again this winter with Dan for his allergies to stop. Hopefully it worked and Dan can race the best he can all year long.

I doubt if pollen is the problem when it comes to a race in early February. If he's a bit up and down at that time of year, it's just likely to be ordinary, common or garden, dodgy form.

That said, I couldn't agree more with you about hoping that they come up with some kind of viable solution for his breathing problems. It's a crying shame that the major races which should be most suited to him - the Ardennes and the Giro - are the very ones where he is crippled by his allergies.

Jérémie Galland ftw.
Good form at moment.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Thanks

I must be tripping though or something, I thought it started 8th of February all this time

Probably because it used to be 5 days, and most 5-day races start on Wednesday to put the key stages at the weekend.

Still, the race was threatened with extinction, so I'll take a 4-day race over that any day.

The site of Vacansoleil lists him in their Tour de Med lineup

http://www.vacansoleildcm.com/wedstrijd/?id=2970

Poels is in Spain training (Mallorca I think), so he wont be riding.

Can anyone translate this? I think it says Astana will go with Silin for general and Iglinsky for stages.

He now has the same trainer as Jurgen VDB, so you'll probably only really see him in once or two races this year

[Zam_Olyas]

It is said that stage is modified and it will be 132kms with 2 small climbs.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Aww no Poels

Maybe Valls or Denifl can do something for Vacansoleil

It's intresting how I care about these races a lot more, now that I'm participating in the CQ game.

That's it. Gavazzi and M. Iglinsky for the sprints. Silin for GC.

Althought I think they mistook Maxim with Valentin who is the sprinter.

 

[Nicosix]

A single man in front with 4'30 advance : Thomas Vaubourzeix from La Pomme Marseille.
70 km to go

 

[Duartista]

No ticker anywhere? I checked directvelo, but they're not doing this race.

 

[Publicus]

I assume no video for this one.

 

[Nicosix]

Vaubourzeix 3'15 with 50 km to go

 

[Nicosix]

1 min with 20 km to go

Vaubourzeix 3'15 with 50 km to go

That guy wins for 'best last name in the peloton'. How many points would you get for that in Scrabble?

Best last name in the peloton is this guy. Not very useful in Scrabble though.

 

[TeoSheva]

Peterson wins

 

[FF'Wilco]

Thomas Peterson won there was a crash in final sprint.
