USAPCC Stage 2: Gunnison to Aspen 209.8km (24/8)

[Jamsque]

They are not on to the actual climb part of Indy Pass yet, they are just on a long slow drag.

He has no reason to yet. He doesn't seem to have the long term endurance for grand tours anymore, but he's excellent at one week races. Remember he won Suisse this year too.

I have been trying to forget actually.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Yeah, I just thought about that. This is just a high altitude version of pre-2011 Tour of California. Hard, but a bit boring.

Yup.
50kms between climbs is just a tad tedious.
Now a 45km drag that should last the same length of time as the average movie.

Two guys from VeloNews, Phil and Paul will be there in the middle of the climb.

 

[benpounder]

Goddddd this is so boring.

Just wait. Before the Climb of Independence, there is a nasty short climb to Twin lakes - It is a locals only knowledge.

 

[luckyboy]

Man someone better attack at the base of the climb

they are painful to listen to.

mind you, i'm real appreciative that they're making this stream available, but...

care to teach me more dutch cycling words???

(i kept on listening for them today during the Vuelta )

LL off the back at his team car with no teammates... now having to push to work his way back up toward the front. Odd move. You'd think the team would at least put someone with him.

 

[luckyboy]

Yeay ......

Theyre not that bad, imo .


Ofcourse I can teach you some more, let me know if you have some requests too.


Beklimming = Ascend / Climb
Afdaling = Descend
Voorsprong = Lead
Kopgroep = Leading group
Ronde van = Tour of -> if you watch the belgian stream they often say vuelta / giro / tour, but on the NOS stream they often say "Ronde van".

I dont really know what to translate more, I usually forget about the obvious stuff though .

it's very strange how some things from childhood stick with you... the guy who owned the inn we used to stay at was struck by a car whilst cycling Independence Pass. he had severe head injuries and almost died... and every time i here them say Independence Pass, i think of him...

 

[just some guy]

here come P & P

gap @ 2.30

I'm developing a slight dislike for the words "picture breakup".

 

[benpounder]
