TheEnoculator said:I'm a proud Chinese and I'm all for China being involved in pro cycling to some degree. But I still say cancel this crap. Beijing is the LAST place in China you'd want to race bikes. The Chinese government has total disregard for the health of their citizens and future generations. They are just as bad as when they were officially communists. Now they call themselves "socialists", this makes what they are doing even more evil.
The riders should protest in racing in this kind of air quality, like what they always do when they are being asked to race on dangerous roads.

Sorry, that should probably have been "The era in which stages are finished". I don't know the parcours of the race, but I'm guessing thursday, then.Bernie's eyesore said:It's a stage race so he hasn't finished yet. We should all have a guess as to which day he will give up. My money is on friday.

All the other stages have a potential to be fairly entertaining, depending on how they're raced.
Eneco Tour doesn't have a "massive" MTF like the one we'll get on stage 3 thoughtheyoungest said:My comment was more regarding the Abandony obsession on this board.
I don't know how the climbs really will be, it still has the potential to become another Eneco Tour. Including an EBH win![]()
I doubt they will catch him. The chase behind will be disrupted by EBH's presence who's by far the best sprinter. Also, EBH has zero teammates.Fidolix said:Martin doing a Canc, hes gone!!![]()
