Tour of the Basque Country 2012

[Vino attacks everyone]

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

any idea of the form for the 2 spaniards in Saxo bank, and what they are planning for the rest of the season? Navarro going for GC in the tour?

Yeah Navarro is pretty much their GC man together with Chris I think. And Jesus goes for a random stage win although not in a GT I guess. More like... in the Tour of the Basque Country.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Around 70 k i think.

thanks mate

[Bala Verde]

good day for gesink to recover from his cold...

santombrogio for the win
If la florecita can do so, I can try my luck too

But Jesus didn't win unfortunately.

nevermind, its ok to try our luck. Santombrogio actually has a decent sprint.

6 minutes G1 <--- Peloton?

yes

[Bala Verde]

if the peloton manages to close the gap, i'd say hesjedal might try something in the last climb.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I hope Pinot wins for game reasons. But boy has he been quiet this season

or Valverde?

 

[Sylvester]

Valverde is not racing.

Indeed. He was supposed to be the next big climbing sensation.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

the rains they are a coming

 

[skidmark]

I still have faith. Lots of his success last year came later (August-September). Plus it's quite a step up to go from .1 and even .HC races to competing at WT races, so a time of adjustment is understandable.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

He had no trouble with the WT level in the Dauphine last year

 

[will10]

Indeed. He was supposed to be the next big climbing sensation.

He still might be, still only 21.

 

[Spine Concept]

He still might be, still only 21.

True that. I just thought he would have shown more with the talent he boasts. When I think about Gesink at 21 I think about duking it out with Evans on Ventoux...

 

[Bala Verde]

"sotto quatro minuti" did he say that?

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Going to be a close chase.

 

[Sylvester]

They don't really know.
