BDF Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Please keep updating. . I may not comment.. but I am desperate for updates today cause I am not near the TV or streaming this afternoon. Plus I forgot to set the pvrDitto
Long Wheel Base Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 It seems that Nippo Vini Fantini is chasing the break after the Italian team failed to place a man in the move. Nippo has brought the gap down to 1:45. This is Kittel's spare bike with pink bar tape.cifllwrwsaa1jdq_670.jpg I am presuming he will change bikes towards the end because in your first pic it looks like he's on a tarmac and he has the prevail on. I'm sure his setup of choice for a sprint would be the venge vias with an evade.
ScottCM Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 13:50:04 CESTThe race is on the Calabrian coast now, on plan flat roads. However the break is about to be caught.
ScottCM Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 13:54:21 CESTThere were huge crowds in the Netherlands and huge crowds in Catanzaro for the start of stage 4.
BDF Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Would need to be a talented long distance time trailer to stay away on this route. Especially having gone away so early. I don't think the bunch would be lethargic on chasing a break on a stage like today's for the sake of their sprinters .
Cav' Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Which race is it that we were astounded by his result with a mtn-ish top finish. It was now the other day.?Stage 3 of the Tour of Dubai.
ScottCM Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 13:57:12 CESTThe peloton was about to close down the break but they have surged clear again. 13:58:32 CESTThe gap is back up to 1:50.
ScottCM Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 14:03:30 CESTNippo is still trying to get into the break and Eduard Grosu is in no-man's land between the two group.
ScottCM Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 14:08:39 CESTIt seems the Etixx team is concerned about the finale of the stage, with DS Davide Bramati driving up to study the roads during the rest day.
ScottCM Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 14:12:44 CESTGrosu is fighting on alone trying to go across to the break.
Long Wheel Base Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Which race is it that we were astounded by his result with a mtn-ish top finish. It was now the other day.?I have noticed over the last few days how skinny he is looking. To me it looks like he has lost weight. Yes he is still a big guy but his body fat is looking LOW.
ScottCM Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 14:21:42 CESTGrosu is still 1:00 back but the peloton is slipping back an is at 4:00.
ScottCM Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 14:25:36 CESTThe riders are heading up the Calabrian coast and are close to half way point now.The riders will soon reach the feedzone and then soon after it is time for the first climb of the stage.
ScottCM Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 14:27:54 CESTThe four breakaway riders are working smoothly together as they head up the coast. 14:28:32 CESTKittel is at the back of the peloton after drifting back to speak to his team car. 14:29:42 CESTThe Etixx team is leading the peloton but the pace is steady.
