it's not that hard to be honest . . . no time trial this year right?

Yep, no TT. Stage races routes are a big let down this year, on an average.

Echelons! All of Rabobank in the fourth echelon.

darn. we are missing the beauty of the 'waaiers'

A 8 kms de meta. El pelotón viene dividido por los abanicos, aunque con escasas diferencias entre los grupos. Bonito espectáculo.

The final stage is quite hard. Who wins that one probably takes all, so I hope we'll see some racing from far out.

A 3 kms de meta. Pelotón agrupado. La fuga ha muerto casi en las calles de Salamanca.

get ready for that most thrilling live ticker fed sprint moment!

At least they are predictable. Like any well-respected bus service, they may take pride in that.

What has he done? taken the wrong road?

Basic rule of cycling: Rabo ride all day in front => Rabo don't win.

True enough

Bring on the Amstel Gold Race, where they'll play out their "strength in numbers"...

Can't wait to see them drop off some real contenders at the bottom of the cauberg.

"free riding" was never so easy.

Dutch........

Well Dutchies are of german blood, at least that's what they are singing in their anthem.
