Tour of the Basque Country 2012

[hrotha]

Urán as plan A for the Ardennes, Henao as plan B in case something happens to Urán, Nordhaug as plan C in case something happens to Urán and it turns out Henao is not ready/can't handle these races, I'd say.

only plan A,B and C? sky is too good to only have 2 backup plans

 

[Lexman]

It's starting to scare me the team that they're going to have in TdF .

of course not they will all have to ride for Sir Marc so he can win some lousy flat stages in the sprint...

why not use them to mark everything the last 40km and hope 1 or 2 of them reach the final? (atleast in LBL)

it was raining the entire day

In Bizkaia it rains the whole year except in the summer.

Nice win today from Purito. I think it will be a really close fight between Samu, Horner and Martin.

 

[Lexman]

Twice

missed that, still working here... nice for them go Saxo Saxo!!

the reason Ullrich could climb so well with his weight, is the same as it was for Riis (not im the same degree, but still)

oh.. i see... little hair as possible?

i put some pics in my previous post to give some perspective.

Well yes, it's not like you don't do anything unless your priority plan fails, just that Urán should be seen as their priority option.

Kiserlovski is impressing me, please god, i want him as captain in Giro!

I know he's awesome.

This is obviously what they need to do in Liege, unfortunately Amstel and Fleche ends in a "mass" sprint 9 times out of ten.

This statement was repeated in a magazine interview/article. There was no just-after-the-race-adrenalin-rush that fueled his statements this particular time. Still he is hitting heights that he hadn't before. He's doing quite well.

Does the term "misquote" mean anything. I've seen it misquouted many times. He did indeed say "Right now." But go ahead and believe everything you read.
Especially the stuff that suits your bias.

I'll always remember today as a great Col of the high mountains.

mhm, never understood why it looks like Astana have Kreuziger in mind as captain in a Giro....

Talking mountains here, and yes also Vino had some problems in the big mountains the later years :=)
Evans can't be that heavy? small and alot of muscle sure, but not so heavy?

 

[theyoungest]

+1.he will kick some asz there especially kreuziger's

And Kessiakoff will kick both their azzez

to bad they have to give Vino a leadout train in the mountains before the Kazakh eagle himself flies of like a Ferrari enzo

swedish guy? meh, don't think he will cut it up stelvio like.... Vino

 

[maltiv]

Great to see Henao and Nordhaug still going strong! They'll make an interesting duo (or trio) for the Ardennes where Nordhaug can cover attacks while Uran and Henao can ride a bit more defensively since they have a strong sprint.

Also, I guess all of you who ridiculed my hyping of Nordhaug pre-season are eating your words by now

Kiserlovski (and Kessiakoff for that matter) is unproven over 3 weeks. Kreuziger is a nailed on top 10 finisher in most GTs.
