Tour of the Basque Country 2012

[greenedge]

Congrats to Rojas, nice sprint by Poels.

 

[greenedge]

Nuyens did last year what Ballan failed to do this year.

Nuyens has a better sprint ( he beat Geraint Thomas in DDV ) when G has led out EBH/ been on the track.

Pinot in the break. So far, Mr Anonymous of the year.
Looks like they aren't moving too fast, either.
Should get most of the climbs on screen.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

break have 6'35" . Novikov abandons

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Another DNF for Novikov

Anyone else praying for a Pinot and Pineau two-up sprint finish ?

 

[LaFlorecita]

break have 6'35" . Novikov abandons

Who's in it?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Actually Wout Poels will skip Amstel Gold Race because he wants to focus on WP and LBL.

you sure? on his own website he is listed riding all 3. Generally speaking personal websites are pretty accurate.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Who's in it?

Thibaut Pinot (FDJ Big Mat)
Mads Christensen (Saxo Bank)
Jerome Pineau (Quick sprays Omega Pharma Step)
Gabriele Bosisio (Utelsilnord)
Julian Sanchez Pimienta (Caja Rural)

He said it in the (local) media, I think. And he's not on the start list.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Movistar at the front of the peloton. Btw is libertine boycotting the race this year?

 

[LaFlorecita]

So going for Navarro or Jesus today??

Jesus of course, Navarro isn't that much of a sprinter.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Any idea how far from the line?

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Any idea how far from the line?

Around 70 k i think.
