Tour of Denmark 2.HC 03/08 - 07/08

[theyoungest]

yeah but I don't know who rabo will choose. they have breschel, freire and theo bos.

Usually, when Rabo start with an armada of sprinters, they screw up.

 

[El Pistolero]

Usually, when Rabo start , they screw up.

This is more correct

Not that I mind, it got my boy an extra Tour.

 

[belvedere86]

I hope Rabo screws it. got a bet on Bennati Over Breschel for todays stage

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Today's break is away already: Alessandro Bazzana (Team Type 1 - Sanofi), Nikola Aistrup (VPC Concordia), René Jørgensen (Christina Watches-Onfone) and Patrick Clausen (Post Danmark) have 2 minutes after 12 kilometres of racing.

True, watch Tour of Poland, Matthews and Brown don't help eatchother but are riding their own sprint and both don't get it to top-10 (except Brown 1 time). Idiots.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Both of those guys have big ego's. We always knew Brown had a big head and you can just tell with Bling Matthews that he likes to be top dog. Having two similar personalities rarely works well in one team.

Surely a professional outfit like Rabo will work things out with who will be the leader.

Wow, talk about an argument out of left field.

Brown was dropped yesterday (yes, I couldn't believe it either).

Surely a professional outfit like Rabo will kick a completely useless rider like Graeme Brown out.

Live stream?

Does anyone know of a live stream (working in switzerland) ?

 

[search]

I think there is no live coverage at all, just a half an hour highlight show every night

Edit: today 21:30 CET on DR1 (it does not seem to be geo restricted, there is something about horses at the moment)

 

[janraaskalt]

there is something about horses at the moment

Darn, I already missed half of that programme

 

[search]

who will win today? I think Benatti. its a flat stage.

the finish is quite difficult, there are a couple of corners in the last ~500 metres and gradients of upto ~8%, leading into a slightly uphill ~200 metre long finish straight.

as it's a roundcourse everybody will know the finish and it's gonna be difficult to sursprise the sprinters, but I think guys like Gerrans will have a try and punchy sprinters like Breschel, Kocjan, van Staeyen or Belletti will have the advantage over guys like Furlan and Bos. I'm not so sure about Bennati.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Leopard-Trek are setting the pace in the bunch, the break has 7 minutes after some 26 km

[Hugo Koblet]

Hopefully Matti will show something today. He will be very motivated at least. I have a feeling Appollonio will take it though.

Bunch splitting up apparently

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Too bad Rabobank are doing this tour and no longer Burgos. Burgos would have been a much better preparation for the Vuelta for Kruijswijk than Denmark..
But ok.

they did it because of Breschel probably

mock rabobank all you like, they are one of the most succesfull professional teams of the past 10 years

when is the last time a belgian team won a GT btw?
BADA BOEM

makes slight sense

133 km [16] The three defectors are being downloaded. Still high speed in the box that is divided into 3-4 large groups, of which the front is composed of approx. 50 riders

Im preferring @Zenjiin who is doing a sterling job.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Fuglsang has been dropped, & even though Leopard sends back two riders the gap is growing between the first and second group

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

It's about one minute. Sky and Rabo are setting the pace in front.

I agree. I just thought I'd post a link to the translated version of the live feed as another link can never hurt.

In a perfect world the live feed would be offered in English as well as Danish to get as many people as possible to the official site.

 

[hrotha]

Does that mean Fuglsang isn't going to win this? I guess his involution is complete then.

Looks like it. Quite ironic that they had Leopard guys in front while they lost Fuglsang. Still over one minute gap and only 15 to go.
