Re: Lesser Known Race Results 2018

Vuelta a San Juan

Better than last year, but San Juan just isn't exactly the best place in Argentina to have a stage race with good mountain/hilly stages.

 

[manafana]

San Juan got race because it had the money to put up, a TOur of Argentina would be great but for now its going stay regional. SOuth Americas are so underserved by world tour teams racin their. Nibali out already with a iffy tummy

 

[GuyIncognito]

For a second I thought I'd actually seen Pozzato attack

Turned out he was just wheelsucking a guy who attacked at that point so he accidentally ended up off the front. Didn't take a single pull of course

 

[Netserk]

Why is babyface working?!

 

[GuyIncognito]

Gaviria leading out Richeze?

EDIT: Nope just went from way far out

 

[Netserk]

Huh? Gav opened up inside the last 200m. Quite easy win with that lead-out.

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay, "Fernando Gaviria", that bit I understood!
And... 80 KpH on flat roads? Surely... there's gonna be some sort of mishap with the speed-measuring. That's *** fast!









Has this turned into the San Juan Race Thread?

 

[Valv.Piti]

As expected. I need him to win 5 stages to get my CQ-team going.
Was it Keisse or Hodeg as the 3rd last man?

Hope not. I'd prefer it was kept for iinks to live racing.

[Alexandre B.]

Oh, Riabushenko is racing this? I'm interested.

Re: Lesser Known Race Results 2018

Tomorrow is a good stage for him.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Lets keep the discussion in this thread and keep the other thread for links to live racing as suggested by Tim. The sprints will be pretty predictable is QS doesn't mess it up, but the overall seems to be wide open.

You're a mod. Maybe you can move the discussion we had in the other thread over here.

 

[fauniera]

And the discussion we had here. Not sure why we need a third thread for this race.

 

[fauniera]

Padun DNF. Crap.

Yeah, sure. I just didn't feel like it last night, lazy and tired I guess.

Some good quotes fra Gaviria: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/fernando-gaviria-i-always-ride-to-win-its-the-only-thing-in-my-mind/

Great win by Gaviria.

Richeze is properly the best lead-out man in the world. It's a dangerous duo.

Hodeg, I think. Was a bit funny how desperate he was for Richeze to take over when he was done. Great job by both of them.

Edit: Seems like it was Keisse. Hodeg brought the break back in the last 20km. Cavagna led into the last km, then Keisse took over.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Nobody is going to challenge Gaviria at all here. Pity there isn’t at least one other top sprinter at the race to make it interesting.

Yeah ok, I figured it was Keisse after the Gaviria interview, the article I linked to. And yes, he was completely done which him being sick probably explains

finally! decent live coverage... i'm speechless
