can you imagine duarte if he didn't have to work

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

And there comes the predictable reply

 

[jens_attacks]

ok this guy coppel is officially creeping me out.am i the only one?

pretty good result by geox though.i think denis can win it overall.

 

[roundabout]

Geniez in 6th. Good ride by him as well.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

poels and duarte!

good kids!

indeed good show.
I keep saying it, but poels is a massive talent also.
Duarte is no surprise. Showing great signs.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Geniez in 6th. Good ride by him as well.

In fact, many Frenchmen in the top 10. With Coppel as highlight.

 

[Ryaguas]

let's not forget the cycling fans on the roads.they are important too


geox for the win!duarte attacks then cobo!

Cobo retired because a fever

i doubt you and your logic.

Nice to see you here and out of the clinic for a moment

Must have had a barbecue yesterday with some nice meat

Here we go with the meat jokes

Well... What I think is... Geox pushed hard in Collado Bermejo with Duarte and Sastre then Alberto went full gas with Coppel and Menchov in his wheel... No attacks from them just wheelsucking... They went downhill w/o hurry and Alberto attacked in the last Km, maybe Coppel and Menchov tried to follow him but had no legs for it, to get his 1st win of the season and the 1st win for SBS

Grande Alberto!!

 

[jens_attacks]

geox with 4 guys in the top 12 of the stage.il giro here we come!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

indeed good show.
I keep saying it, but poels is a massive talent also.
Duarte is no surprise. Showing great signs.

poels is no surprise to e as he didn't come from rabo tt3 and was masisve climbing talent with fondas or whatever team he rode some years ago. same as his brothe rbut he was maybe injured few years?

I don't disagree, my comment regrading duarte had no intention to link with poels. I rate them both highly tho.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Norbert Poels had too many problems with injuries and had to quit.

Poels stayed at Fondas when they became P3 Transfer and then ultimately Vacansoleil. He is actually one of the only remaining riders of the original Fondas team

 

[Aguirre]

Alberto Contador wins second stage Vuelta a Murcia!!!
2. Menchov to 5'
3. Coppel to 5'

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

He didn't comefrom rabo which automatically means he has lots of progression liek hoogerland, westra but also gesink who I think rode only 1 year with rabo u23

 

[Ryaguas]

ok this guy coppel is officially creeping me out.am i the only one?

edit; nvm

 

[theyoungest]

What's your point? Rabo CT guys don't have a growth margin? Do I really have to mention all the examples to the contrary?

 

[jens_attacks]

how it will be like if coppel beats both menchov and alberto?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

What's your point? Rabo CT guys don't have a growth margin? Do I really have to mention all the examples to the contrary?

yes when guys ride for long time in rabo tt3 they don't have much growth margin anymore. weening, posthuma, eltink, kozontchuk, giling, de kort, scheuneman, leezer, sutherland, heijboer, elijzen do I need to go on? they were all world class u23 riders or close to that, who stagnated when becoming pro

exception is thomas dekker, also some guys were so supertalented like reus, boom and de maar they can still become great except reus of course

I'm talking about the tt3 team not the team they have now, rabo seems to have learned from the past in this.

 

[janraaskalt]

how it will be like if coppel beats both menchov and alberto?

Not impossible I already wrote during the Tour wild cards selection that Coppel would be a GC contender in the 201 Tour de France.
