Tour of the Basque Country 2012

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Wow, Nordhaug got 5th and he's battling still with his allergies. Great ride !

it rained the last 2 days, so no allergies

 

[Frosty]

Think it was Poels who stopped just after the line? Think it was the guy who finished 10th.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Rogers and Hesjedal not that far

Rogers threw it away yesterday.

 

[Wergeland]

Wow, Nordhaug got 5th and he's battling still with his allergies. Great ride !

He should definitely be Sky's man for Ardennes.

 

[Arnout]

Think it was Poels who stopped just after the line? Think it was the guy who finished 10th.

Garmin guy.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Heano, NOrdhaug, Sky really starts to impress me in the hills of all things

 

[c&cfan]

What do you expect from a Big Diesel like Tony in such an uphill Sprint?

he isn't that big.. look at those shoulders.. he is fat. as a pig. he should loose at least 15 kg.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Think it was Poels who stopped just after the line? Think it was the guy who finished 10th.

Danielson.

 

[Arnout]

He should definitely be Sky's man for Ardennes.

Eh.. Did you watch? Getting 5th from behind means 14th in the Ardennes. Henao should be leader.

 

[cineteq]

Rodriguez
Sanchez +8
Horner, Martin +21

Déjà vu: Purito is leading, only to lose again on the last TT

 

[BillytheKid]

A great finish for Rodriguiez. No one to match him.

 

[FF'Wilco]

Danielson.

Nope. That was Hesjedal

 

[Gloin22]

Eh.. Did you watch? Getting 5th from behind means 14th in the Ardennes. Henao should be leader.

Gerrans got 22nd and he's tipped a great favourite for amstel though

 

[Parrulo]

Déjà vu: Purito is leading, only to lose again on the last TT

he must ve used to it by now

samu will take this

 

[c&cfan]

rui getting ready to smoke liege..

 

[airstream]

is this the same climb purito won last year there?

 

[Frosty]

Rabobus just coming in. Couldnt quite make it over less than ten minutes after Purito crossed the line.

 

[theyoungest]

Purito, such a monster in these finishes. Of course he won't win the overall, probably won't even make the podium, but he has his coveted stage win.

He'll be unstoppable in Fleche. Poels, although he did okay today, might consider not focusing entirely on that race.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

he must ve used to it by now

samu will take this

I hope - what's the forecast for the TT?

 

[c&cfan]

is this the same climb purito won last year there?

why do you care?

try to say you should loose 15 kg to one of your collegues, i dear you!

yeah but in al seriousness how can you still shout nordhaug like a fanboy when henao si clearly better?

 

[c&cfan]

try to say you should loose 15 kg to one of your collegues, i dear you!

lol i was just kidding.. he knows it (maybe not )

but seriously those shoulders are really strange for a cyclist like tony, right? he has 0 muscle above his legs..

 

[Gloin22]

yeah but in al seriousness how can you still shout nordhaug like a fanboy when henao si clearly better?

Absolutely, Henao was much stronger today and will be. But Nordhaug is a good back up for Amstel. I guess Henao will lead Fleche, or Uran ? And then everybody for Uran at LBL.

well, if it is true that Nordhaug got allergies, i would say it is mighty impressive
