Tour of qatar - Stage 1: Dukhan - Al Khor Corniche, 146km

[search]

What was Renshaw doing at the front with ~1k to go and then peeling off? Shouldn't he have been stuck to Boonen's wheel?

he may have forgotten that Cav wasn't sitting behind him...that way it was a nice leadout for Boonen.

So whats Downing?

Downing...lol. I'm surprised they didn't put one of there three sprinters that they had at TDU in ToQ.

He won more races than Evans last year.

I thought you were going to say something about Kristoff but went with Evans instead! Nice!

He was doing a very very good impersonation of Bernard Eisel;}

I miss post-stage puns like...

Looks like it was a sh!tty race from Boom.
The s(h)it really hit the fan(s) today in Qatar, quite literally for Boom.
This stage was totally poo.

And there goes my final failing attempt at being a comedian. Thank you, thank you

So whats Downing?

Downing is the act of causing a fellow cyclist to fall. E.g. Mark Cavendish downed Haussler at last year's TdS before spitting, then urinating and finally ejaculating on the semi concious Australo-German speedster.

Sky of course took this concept still further in a surprise move during the Giro by downing half their own team.


Hope this helps.

This is nothing, Boonen crapped his pants once in Paris-Roubaix.

Boonen is a bigger man than Boom

That would be last year, when Cancellara attacked? Yeah, I would crap my pants too

Congats to Tomeke for his first win this season...looks like the classics are going to be great again....Garmin/cervelo looked so strong.

Just caught up with the recording. Seems everything around here now revolves around the CQ results!
1-2, like a lot of others.
Early days to start worrying about easy points in Mallorca.
I think we've found the glitch in the CQ scoring system, though.
That must have been really hard work for the front bunch today.
Pretty strong wind to bust up the race into pieces after just 5kms.
A 20 point win and only the first 4 score.
Swan around the Palma sea front for a couple of hours and get 80 points
with 20th home getting 5 points.

It does now look that this GC will be contested by that first group, unless we have a major breakaway, due to no race radios!

Indeed. The winner will surely be one of the sprinters I'n the group. Probably boonen.

As for the cq game; I agree. Maybe we need to leave the cq talk for the cq thread only.

I don't want to whine but I'd kind of like this. A lot of the race threads are 10 posts in a row of 'I got points! Yay!' 'I got no points. Boo.' right now.

 

[Ferminal]

I'm sure it will drop off once there's some racing to talk about!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeah, I don't find it particularly annoying, not in a race like this anyway.

If people start about CQ point games in races like Flanders, Liege and the Giro, then I might get annoyed
