McCabe finally got it.

Re:

Great ride by him.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Great ride the previous day too, he was strongest in the sprint IMO but his leadout let him down

 

[pablohidalgo7]

McCabe WT material?

I think he has proved to be really fast but also durable for a sprinter. 4 wins (in 1.1 or higher) already this season and lots of top 10 due to bad positioning or bad lead-outs. Perhaps he deserves an opportunity as a second sprinter in a WT team.

What is interesting in yesterday's stage, is the ability for McCabe to pass the last climb not far from the first group
Like Canola, that proves he is a sprinter who can survive in this kind of stage

But how many WT-teams are interested in an american semi-sprinter who can survive a hill?

13.9 km @ 6.2% for the first one and 10.3 km @ 7.9% for the last.

Very exciting stage so far, Brent Bookwalkter attacking the GC on the descent.

 

[roundabout]

Lol Caja Rural. I'll eat my Internet hat if any of them finishes in the top-5 of the stage.

Re:

Over a minute with 2 teammates

 

[Lequack]

Now just 45 seconds to the peloton.

 

[Rollthedice]

It was ballsy but I'm afraid BMC are done.

Epic climb comparison.

Re:

Epic climb comparison.

A bit odd, but it's probably not the worst thing for the american casual fans, let them know that It's actually a good climb.
Bardiani bringing the pain,Bookwalter dropped, Senni the only BMC rider left.

 

[Rollthedice]

Those violent attacks from 10-9 k out lasting about 30 seconds were fun.

 

[May0maniac]

Both Sterbini and Ciccone riding for a new contract.

 

[Rollthedice]

The Bardiani duo look like they're from another league.

 

[Lequack]

Some colorful spectators :surprised:

Powless took off.

 

[May0maniac]

First win for Ciccone after his heart operations.

 

[DNP-Old]

Powless really doesn't impress me much, this race at least. Adrien Costa had a much higher level last year.
