Sorry Pisti. Not buying it. You should really change your avatar to this one:

Or as an alternative

And then with some Belgian flag added to it or something

Sure, don't believe me then. Happy to see my posts annoy you so much though No wonder some people really do troll the Dutch on this forum if you always react like this.

yeah, M.Kreder was pretty invisible last year but it's hard not to remember him in Catalunya 2010 where he looked good also in sprints (among not quite sprinters though)

If I remember correctly they weren't flat out sprints where he excelled at but uphill ones. However, he has a decent kick as well in the former type sprint.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

I knew Kreder
Never heared of Tiernan-Locke before though...

@Dutchies, what kind of racer is Kreder? Sprinter, puncheur, climber... ?

EDIT: there apparently are 2 Kreders Who are they

Catalunya 2010 was a hilly-type race with flat, slightly uphill or downhill finishes, so the sprint competition were the likes of Taaramae, Roche of Dumoulin

EDIT: BTW it was one of the best races (if not the best) of 2010

Dekker just cleared that up for me. I knew that Michel was more of a puncheur, but now I know Raymond is more of a sprinter type.

And I don't hate British people, I'm just oblivious to the british racing scene

Actually there are 4 Kreders.

Michel and Raymond and their cousins Dennis and Wesley

I think Wesley will become a pro too.

I know you don't, was sarcasm

Confusion for Phil and Paul!

Hooters in yellow!

Hooters in yellow!

Good to see! I think he's going to have a great year, especially since FDJ will get all the WT invites.

 

[greenedge]

Congrats to Michael Kreder ( he opened a massive gap in the sprint ). He sort of stole his brothers' thunder though ( by sprinting )

the Kreder broers are the next Dutch Zesdaagse sensation especially when Danny retires at the end of the year (and Peter Schep must be close too).
Michael is the pursuiter and Raymond is the sprinter, but both have a good turn of speed in their legs. they did Rotterdam this year and rode pretty good.

 

[Andy99]

Today's stage shortened because of snow.

No chance of greenedge getting a result today then

 

[Andy99]

30km to go, small break away at 30s including 1 greenedge rider

 

[Andy99]

Vachon, El Fares, Albasini with 30s on the bunch. 8km to go.

Edit: apparently Albasini dropped.

 

[Andy99]

last lap of circuit. all together. Garmin in control

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

It would be nice if the other Kreder - the sprinter - won this today.

 

[Andy99]

4km to go.......

 

[Andy99]

1km, Europcar/Astana on the front

 

[Andy99]

Michel Kreder wins Napolitano 2nd

looks like he is the sprinter.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Kreder wins!

 

[Grzdylu]

Michel or Raymond?

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Raymond is the sprinter, if I remember correctly
