Cav won the Tour of Britain prologue last year.classic1 said:It was friggin less than 2km. Not the first time a sprinter or trackie has won an ultra short TT.
21st, but along with a bunch of others only three seconds back.whiteboytrash said:I note Kloden is riding Romandie........... where did he finish ?
Thinking maybe AC is headed to Cataluyna instead.Leafer said:21st, but along with a bunch of others only three seconds back.
A little surprised that Contador and/or Leiphiemer aren't there considering after the Vuelta and the DL and maybe TdSuisse this is probably the biggest stage race Astana have left to ride for the remainder of the year. Although I guess Contador is probably riding Asturias.
It looks like Astana has divied up the leadership role between Leipheimer, Cantadope, and Kloden for all these small races. Who gets to be the leader for the Dauphine and Switzerland? I think Leipheimer probably gets the Dauphine and Kloden gets the Swiss race. Contador then gets total support for the Vuelta.hawkeye87 said:Thinking maybe AC is headed to Cataluyna instead.
Yeah Cavendish is a bit of a non-climber even by sprinters' standards. Besides, i think the sprinters would be trying to save themselves for today's stage. Not a classic sprinter's stage by any means but with a TT coming up followed by a mountain stage they have to take what they can. I imagine that today the sprinters will be trying to stay in the peleton on the long fairly shallow climb or try to catch up on the downhill to the finishEldrack said:And Cav finishes 13 minutes down in the first stage (to be fair it was pretty hilly). Guess he's not on the juice after all (well, at least not the really good stuff that can retool you completely like Armstrong was).
Unless there was a good reason (ie illness, injury) then yesterday's performance was really bad. To not be able to stay with a 100-strong group in the Tour de Romandie when the previous day appeared to be taken fairly easily by him?Crankyfeet said:Does anyone think that Cavendish will ever make it over the mountains in a GT, without being broomed, to qualify for a ponts jersey? Methinks not.
