Gen Posted March 20, 2018 Share I have sneaky suspicion that Annika and Ariane are both going to end up suffering because of their teammates and that because of it Mariska Strauss and Annie Last will pull off a surprise win. Or some such. With Team Sparkle Watts aka Invested Songo Specialized getting second and Acendis Health in third. Sent from my SM-J200H using TapatalkThe Last - Strauss combo is so nice to watch..they always seem happy..no matter what the situation.

That said they take their racing seriously and will be gunning pretty hard to better their second overall from last year.

Shebeen Posted March 20, 2018 Share I wouldn't be surprised if we hear that Luthi's partner is suffering from illness, she really looked to be struggling ..even had the camelbak on for extra fluids. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalkyes, saw that. but a very skinny one.she might swap them out at waterpoints makes sense to me. if you're struggling to keep up, being able to drink handsfree is a bonus.

Dubber Posted March 20, 2018 Share anyone have the actual route for tomorrow? Thinking about going out and taking some photos - I generally try avid the usual spectator points. But can't find any route info apart from profile and the two spectator points... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted March 20, 2018 Share I think Langvad is trying to break her partner. So dominant..yoh Sent from my SM-G950F using TapatalkI thought so too, but on stage 1 highlights it was actually Kate doing the pacing uphills. if that's the case the whole way through then they are playing smart. while she has never raced anything like this before, she did do a huge test event last month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted March 20, 2018 Share once again our local riders are not exactly shooting the lights out, and the yellow jersey is sitting on a brazilian, that powerhouse of world cycling. top rider today was Erik Kleinhans, who is riding backup for Canyon so not entirely sure how much he was pushing it. We now have him in 17th, and two teams in 18th and 19th.What has actually happened to our current National Marathon champion, who came 4th last year with his colombian partner (mr Max Knox?) - is he doing XCO again now?

Ozzie NL Posted March 20, 2018 Share That sounds as it looks, imagine if those two were riding together again, it would have resulted in a one sides race again. Agreed. Does anyone know what broke up the partnership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davetapson Posted March 20, 2018 Share Agreed. Does anyone know what broke up the partnership? With knowing **absolutely nothing** about the real reason, I suspect that it was due to AL (Luthi)'s inconsistent performance last year. Imagine AL (Langvad) (what's with their initials?) didn't want to risk another Epic on a flaky partner. Probably regretting it now, but I suspect that the Belgian will break before the Yank. But who knows. I bet Arriane doing her damndest to make a point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
