'Dale Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 What a chase by Consonni What a circuit Now the Elites had a good look
tombeej Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Hope there's highlights tomorrow. Thanks for the final commentary ????
HappyMartin Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Kudus confirmed in 11. Like these Eritreans. It's a lovely country as well. But a real bastard to cycle in. They only have hills there.
Gen Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Sigh.. now the French will expect him to be the next.. whatever sommer next year. Aye..
'Dale Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Sigh.. now the French will expect him to be the next.. whatever sommer next year. Aye..They prob first have their eyes set on Ala-Philippe (who came second to Sagan at TdCal)
'Dale Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Gotta save a few matches for the last 4 kms Go Sagaaaaan
Gen Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 They prob first have their eyes set on Alaphillipe (spelling?)Lucky for him he doesn't ride for a French team and is actually managed really well. I like what Lafevere said about him.. bringing dan Martin in to take pressure off Alaphilipe.. smart man that Lafevere.
Nibali Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Wow, what a race..the elites are going to tear each other up over the next 2 days! GO TOMMEKE And Nibbles, but I don't want to say it out loud...

GO TOMMEKE And Nibbles, but I don't want to say it out loud...I think k we just saw a test run of team Italy. .. nibbles will fancy his chances.. and as much as what Valverde is saying the course doesn't suit him.. he is lying. This is anyone's race.. it's very open here.. whoever goes over lilly climb with a gap will hold that gap over 23 Street climb and governor climb all the way to the finish. Team tactics will he very interesting esp with no race radios

Team tactics will he very interesting esp with no race radiosThe same can be said of the ladies race. Several really good contenders for the win and that is accounting for the fact that Vos ain't racing. Van der Breggen will want to prove her worth by winning but so Ferrand-Prevot, Armistead, Johansson and even Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio will fancy their chances. The standard across both main races is going to be really really high. The tactically smart stands the best chance of winning.

Team tactics will he very interesting esp with no race radios Italy and France both showed the importance of being at the head of the race yesterday. Going into the cobbles on the last lap is going to be like a sprint finish and you can only imagine the carnage behind if someone stumbles like the Belgian lad yesterday. Re Nibbles, he is in the team as their wildcard and he will always take a chance, same as the Frenchie did yesterday, to take the win. Same can however be said for all of the favourites that have been mentioned for the last few weeks now, but Nibbles might be able to slip under the radar if everyone is looking at each other (you can only keep tabs on so many riders). Exhilarating racing to look forward to indeed. Luck, positioning and the weather are all going to play major roles in determining who is going to don the rainbow jersey this weekend. And the same holds true for the ladies. GO PFP!! She makes me weak at the knees hey...
tombeej Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 GO PFP!! She makes me weak at the knees hey...We agree on that too. Those dimples are irresistable, the sweetest smile. But what always strikes me about her is how through all that talent and power and bike handling skills, she somehow always does it with grace and a ladylike sophistication. She wins world championships in the mud wearing pearl earings and long false eyelashes. So very French. I'm a big fan.

Mntboy Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Some great athletes imho: Ashleigh Moolman Pasio Lizzie Armitstead Anna V/d Breggen Pauline Ferrand-Prevot And just for Gen, Peter Sagan's brother Edit: apparently I need to improve my face recognition skills.
