[shadowrider]

And another one, number 10, for Soudal-Quickstep.

 

[Anderis]

3 riders with Polish sounding names in top10.

Who's the third?

 

[Anderis]

Who's the third?

I'm guessing Aniołkowski and Mareczko are the two that you are aware of.

Kogut means a rooster in Polish and I've just read that Oded Kogut is a descendant of Polish Jews.

 

[Landeirovic]

And another one, number 10, for Soudal-Quickstep.

number 9

 

[Berniece]

number 9

He probably counts GC wins too, or the TTT in Rwanda

 

[Berflamand]

He probably counts GC wins too

Then it's still 9. I think he counts the Rwanda win by Lecerf but that doesn't count since it was for the devo team.

 

[RedheadDane]

He probably counts GC wins too, or the TTT in Rwanda

Or Lecerf's win. He's a WT rider, even though he's riding Rwanda for the devo team.

 

[Berniece]

I think he counts the Rwanda win by Lecerf but that doesn't count since it was for the devo team.

Does the UCI count it as points for their ranking? If so, I would cound it as a win.

yeah, they do. Lecerf's points in Rwanda go to the WT team.

the points nonetheless go to the WT team

You can do all you want but it simply isn't a win for the WT team. The rules are clear.

UCI points go to the rider and the WT team, wins go to the devo team.

I don't really care at all. If those are the rules, then OK. I was just thinking why shadowrider counted it as number 10.

 

[Samamba]

Tomorrow basically the last day with a lot of open roads, so probably last chance at echelon action, but it looks like the wind won't be hard enough.

 

[KZD]

Merlier is showing a huge speed, if he continues like this he should be selected for the Tour. I also liked De Kleijn today, very fast too.

 

[Lequack]

Remco won't select Merlier for the Tour, no matter how good he is.

Wow, an actual spectator.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Imagine trying and failing to get into the break in a flat stage in the UAE Tour.

 

[Samamba]

How bad must this race be for someones form when someone who probably will top 10 GC goes into an early break on a flat stage.

FTFY

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

He probably thinks there are free boni seconds up for grabs.

 

[Samamba]

He probably thinks there are free boni seconds up for grabs.

Yeah definitely, but any other race someone like that would obviously not "waste" the energy. But here it is probably good for the legs to feel some pain.

And knowing him. He's probably incredibly bored.

 

[Salvarani]

This seem dumb for LVE to do.
