Ozzie NL Posted May 28, 2014 Share Racers like Majka, Aru!, Kelderman are all busting onto the scene.I'm sure they'll continue their GC apprenticeship there. Kelderman is a MENEER at a young age. Makes us Dutchies proud and confident in a future beyond Bauke and LTD :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombeej Posted May 28, 2014 Share Well, well, well. So folks got ourselves all worked up for the expectation of a legendary stage. Well the tifosi got what the tifosi wanted. The riders certainly didn't. Lots of angry responses eerily similar to that day in June 1988. But Tuesday 27 May 2014 has now been written into the history books. Be prepared to read all about it - again and again - in every book yet another retired pro publishes of his memoirs. This story will take years to complete.

emme Posted May 29, 2014 Share Live today from 12h50 on SS!! I assume re Quintana's stage win that the bunch that had the fastest motorbike with red flag down the mountain would have been unduly advantaged?Would the motorbike drivers have been informed that they should go down at 52 km/h and were their speedometers calibrated?

'Dale Posted May 29, 2014 Share For the mountain goats, the finalè: The Finish: 13.4km at 8.4% but again the average is not the story; or at least the mean slope is 8.4% but the mode seems more like 10%. The climb to the Rifugio Panarotta (“Panarotta Mountain Hut”) starts in Levico Terme and it’s gentle out of town. But soon the hairpins begin and so do the steep slopes. The road rises all the way to the line with a slope of 8.5% in the final moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
