Columbia doing 81% of the work, Cervelo just 19%

I say chapeau to the other sprint teams, make Columbia work, don’t make it easy for them

A bit like when Robbie Hunter won a stage two years ago

what a big gap that Cav

did in Farrar after the acceleration!!

almost 3 bikes

by semprenaroda on Jul 5, 2009 11:16 AM EDT reply actions  

I will say this...

If Farrar gets one more competant leadout man, he’s going to be dangerous.

by Ed K on Jul 5, 2009 11:16 AM EDT reply actions  

Farrar

has to attack first, before Cav jump from his leadout.Like Pettachi did.

After this, i think Farrar can’t overcome Cav. (but i think he did this way in TA!!)

by semprenaroda on Jul 5, 2009 11:19 AM EDT up reply actions  

Danish TV showed

1. Cav
2. Farrar
3. Feillu
4. Hushovd
5. Arashiro.

Anyone else got different?

Kinda shows you how many of the bigger names Fernandez took out if Mondory gets 10th

A frozen 'cross ride from this last weekend. As you may be aware we have had siberian conditions here in the UK with a low of -14 degrees centigrade here on saturday morning. It was a beautiful sunny morning so i layered up and set off for a snowy 'cross ride along a roman road. I checked the thermometer when i got back to find it had been -10 throughout the ride! I had a lot of fun though and the views were spectacular.
