The Classics


'Dale

Recommended Posts

Yesterday's finish was great, any number of riders could have won and were brought back on the kicker hills

Just like the Classics the GT’s should have a lot more “contenders” this season.

Nobody ito GC are waves above the rest just yet. (Landa’s probably looking the best so far)

Except for that one guy who broke his leg last year:

(and showed he can ride the cobbles)

Not if NQ has anything to say.. you guys see him do some turns on the front of the chase yesterday..don't think he has read the "How to break up a chase..by Valverde" manual yet[emoji6]

Yes but Valverde is a freak of nature.

And he’s not exactly going to win a GT this year. (Wouldn’t mind him winning The Vuelta though)

Woah.. a whole lot of riders (+-30)have been DQd because of a crossing issues.. amongst them Demare, Groenewegen, Martin..

 

Fine and DQ is the least of their worries..amendment to rule this year[emoji116] they could face 1 month suspension

If they get banned it's their own bloody fault. They know the rules. Break them and get penalized. Pretty simple stuff, really.

With PR coming up and the famous crossing there ..this is a good warning and reminder of the rules.

Tricky finish. Will make for interesting racing. And apparently a bit of rain around too. Or so said the commentator.

Mmm after last weeks racing this is a bit meh.. Katusha will do just enough to reel in the two up the road but won't go too hard..probably go so slow that he other teams will work..cause you know Kittel needs to be fresh for his sprint.

I'm expecting fireworks on the last lap. Although I find it hard to think there's a rider fast enough and clever enough to beat Kittel.

Well they were there..but they are not there anymore..early shower[emoji23][emoji23]

 

 

Watch QS come control and then have Stybar attack late and win.

Kittel v Groenewegen v Demare would've been a good sprint finish but ja sadly they weren't using their grey material.

 

Zbar would be a cool winner.
