Indeed, he showed a lot of panache. He's been climbing better and better throughout this season, despite starting in TDU, and ending in Beijing (it's not possible to have a longer season!). Hopefully he can bring this form to the classics next year, which is what really matters.ToreBear said:As an ignorant EBH fanboy I'm pleased with his performance!
Would have been nicer if he could have held out another few meters, but I like the way he tried.
It seemed like he didn't really trust in his climbing though, he attacked when the gradient dropped a little, clearly he had studied the profile. I have no doubt that he could have been in the top-3 regardless.maltiv said:Indeed, he showed a lot of panache.

That's my understanding too. Though I have not been a fanboy long enough to watch his development over the years. From all I have read and seen though, he is becoming much better at climbing. I hope next year he improves even more, and also gets more oppurtunities to show his abiliities.maltiv said:Indeed, he showed a lot of panache.

Tomorrow's stage should be another bunch sprint, probably Viviani again, but the last stage could be a good stage if it's raced aggressively.
Marco Haller i thinkValleyFlowers said:Belkov?
That was some confused finish.
Yes, he finished only 17 minutes behind the peloton. 12 minutes behind the second-to-last guy.Bernie's eyesore said:Has Schleck finished yet?
Good to see him starting to find some form at last.maltiv said:Yes, he finished only 17 minutes behind the peloton. 12 minutes behind the second-to-last guy.
He's trying to earn his 10 CQ pointsBernie's eyesore said:Good to see him starting to find some form at last.
I'll almost be impressed if he simply makes it to the finish within the time limit tomorrow considering how he suffered on today's easy stage.burning said:He's trying to earn his 10 CQ points![]()
What team is he, I've never heard of himValleyFlowers said:Confirmed. It was Marco Haller.
I will drink to that, Hitch, adding : Alberto's wins to it and Vino's Olympic medalThe Hitch said:I was so happy to.see hallers reaction. Dude celebrated like if he had won the worlds and that's the passion i love to see.
Come to think of.it, most of.my happiest.moments of the year were katusha victories.
