jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 #Tirreno, Stage 2: 1. Pelucchi, 2. Demare, 3. Greipel, 4. Bennett, 5. Sagan, 6. Appollonio, 7. Fortin, 8. Modolo, 9. Hurel, 10. Sbaragli.
jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Pelucchi left his sprint very, very late but he timed his effort perfectly. The Italian tucked on to Andre Greipel's wheel and didn't panic when it appeared the German had been boxed in. Instead, he waited for the gap to open ahead of Greipel, and then followed his wheel to the final 100 metres, before unleashing a crisp sprint finish.
'Dale Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Don't think it broken, check the bike tossing https://vine.co/v/MbvuWAevgAi Phew!Yeah, you're right.Just broken ego
jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Aged 25 Pelucchi's a former junior Italian champion in the kilo and keirin. Has won second-tier races, this is & IAM's first world tour win
jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Although Arnaud Démare went from a long way out - he hit the front with over 200 metres to go - he looked like he had the win in the bag right up to the last moment, when Pelucchi nipped past.
EZRider Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks guys! Made my trainer session much more bearable.

'Dale Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Peter Sagan looked well-placed but faded to 5th place in the final 100 metres, while Mark Cavendish and QuickStep made no impression in the finishing straight. Building nicely for the Monuments... The HULK!
jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Love it when the so-called smaller teams topple the giants. VIVA PELUCCHI Sitting in Greipels slip till the very last second takes some doing....well done to him
jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Cavendish crossed the line in 17th place. Assuming he was the first Omega Pharma-QuickStep rider across the line, he will retain the overall lead this evening. Either way, the maglia azzurra remains with the team for another day.
Cav' Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 Don't think it broken, check the bike tossing https://vine.co/v/MbvuWAevgAiA bit childish if you ask me
'Dale Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 A bit childish if you ask me Sprinters' temper Sagaaan also at Oman, I think
'Dale Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks guys! Made my trainer session much more bearable. Did you also wind up towards the bunch sprint?Hahahaa
