Anybody ever broken ribs? I thought coughing and laughing was painful, but the tt position really hurts! Some serious pain is in order today

(U23TT) Jack Bobridge is a future star of world cycling. I knew he was going to rip it up.

You really stepped out on a ledge there buddy!!!

 

[Pharazon]

Zirbel is one ugly mofo..nice teeth

Article in dutch NP "trouw" HERE about the fragile state of dutch cyling.

prob upset about this paragraph:

Een sprinter die hijgend en puffend door Frankrijk zeulde, vormde vanuit Nederlands perspectief het hoogtepunt van de Tour de France. Bij gebrek aan beter richtten alle camera’s zich op Kenny van Hummel, tot een schuiver een einde maakte aan de deelname van de laagst geklasseerde renner in het peloton. De bodem leek bereikt.

Terwijl Van Hummel zich ontpopte tot clown, maalde een groot talent stilletjes over bergtoppen in Zwitserland

Ah, I just saw the winner at the start....

 

[Moondance]

Wow, the Canc is pushing it.

I pity all those 65 other fools.

10 minutes in.. 20 sceonds up already...

cancellara is... holy cow..

my eyebrows have just left the top of my head..

 

[Bala Verde]

Ouch.. Grabsch... 24s behind already...

Fab makes an ITT look like it's a 'spinning' class, as if he is coasting along on his Sunday morning recovery ride, no pressure on the legs running a 39xwhatever!

 

[Wergeland]

Looks like Canc will win with a 1 '30 gap. He's really flying. The TT of his life? Grabsch, Larsson, Wiggins, Pinotti, Zirbel, Martin and EBH will fight for the two remaing podium spots.

Canc will pass Larsson soon.

twenty minutes in and this is possibly the most dominant cycling performance i have ever seen...

i want to believe, i want to believe, i want to believe, but some things are almost unbelievable

hes gonna pass brad before the end..

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Amazing!! Larsson in for silver if he can hang on.

 

[Moondance]

twenty minutes in and this is possibly the most dominant cycling performance i have ever seen...

Well, he did actually dominate pretty badly three years ago in Salzburg too.

at the rate he's going he'll pass him before the 2nd lap's done

 

[Wergeland]

This really is the Canc-show. We don't even get to see the intermediate times of the other riders!

 

[Moondance]

With Martin & EBH starting to fade a bit, Zirbel might have a shot at bronze, or maybe even silver. Would be fantastic.

Sorry to keep hijacking thread...

Bala, is this article basically stating that too many good junior/young Dutch riders quit because there are not enough upper level amateur/developmental pro teams? Only Rabo Continental?

 

[Bala Verde]

What do those times matter anyway. It's like comparing ITT times from pros to amateurs'.

Fab's in a different league

HA, and Moerenhout seems to be in the same league as Wiggins and Grabsch...

Speaking of lowlanders... How are Cornu and Rosseler doing?

Basically it says that after Gesink & Boom, there is not a whole lot of top tier talent, and it suggests that instead of Rabo being the only destination for Dutch talent, riders should try alternative paths, for instance Gesink only joining Rabo CT in '06, working with other teams first, and Boom having a long and prosperous cyclo-cross education.

Thank you Moondance!!

Canc doesn't even look like he's breathing, let alone trying.

Rosseler just got gapped. Didn't he start 4 minutes ahead of the Canc?

 

[Pharazon]

looking like Canc, Larsson and Zirbel as the podium
