'Dale Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Valverde is very motivated, home tour and he is still carrying excellent form from the tour. I think its going to be a Valverde / Nibali duel, I like both, but I would really like to see Valverde take a grand tour. Yes.A surprize package can be Roche.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Yes.A surprize package can be Roche. You think so..? Maybe, I dunno, he is not a prolific tour winner, I think he will struggle in company of the likes of big hitters like Valverde, Nibali, Rodriguez maybe even Pozzovivo.

Maybe more idealistic I am for the young one...He's got some good genes. I'm watching him closely.Saxo does have Kreuziger as nr 1.
'Dale Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Heartbreaking finalè for the brilliant one man breakaway in Tony Martin. What strength and endurance!
Cav' Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Uran and Mollema is 2 to watch out for I think. But the clear favourites is still Nibs and Valverde.

Every year I have been going well here. I’d love finally to be able to break into top five in a Grand Tour. That would be my next major goal.” Read more: http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/15333/Nicolas-Roche-Interview-Theres-a-long-way-to-go-I-want-to-keep-my-head-cool-and-not-get-overexcited.aspx#ixzz2dNt5AVnT
TiBones Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Real bummer for Tony. Awesome ride, just to be pipped 15 m from the end. How cr@p is that?
GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Heartbreaking finalè for the brilliant one man breakaway in Tony Martin. What strength and endurance! Yeah, Cancellera was the main reason he got caught, Morkov and clan jumped on his wheel and got towed to a win, they would never have caught Tony otherwise. I never liked Cancellera.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Uran and Mollema is 2 to watch out for I think.But the clear favourites is still Nibs and Valverde. Yes, I think Uran is a tremendous rider, a real challenger in most races he enters.
Cav' Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 I only just watched yesterdays stage, unbelievable! Poor Martin, his legs must be killing him today.
Madlight Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Tony Martin is going to rip everyone a new one at Worlds.
T-Bob Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Just rewatched the highlights and was hoping all the way to the end the Big dog Martin pulled it off this time.
'Dale Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Tony Martin is going to rip everyone a new one at Worlds. Def.
'Dale Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Stybar pips the still-winless-in-rainbow-stripes Gilbert in a tight finish.Feel for the World Champ...
Madlight Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Stybar pips the still-winless-in-rainbow-stripes Gilbert in a tight finish.Feel for the World Champ... They say the rainbow stripes is a curse.
tombeej Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Tony Martin: 175km solo ride... average speed... 44 km/h. How's that for putting things properly into perspective. That's a proper reality check right there. T-Bob 1
