Clasica Ciclista San Sebastien 27th July

[rich p]

Here's the start list of the lumpy Spanish classic
http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/clasica-ciclista-san-sebastian-2013/start-list
There's a few riders from the TdF doing this one (230km?). You'd think they'd want to put their feet up for a while.
Richie Porte is there for Sky along with Dombrowski, who has been doing well, Boswell, improving results and JTL.
Mollema, ten Dam, Gesink, Gerrans, Clarke, Rogers, Roche, de Gendt are some of the other TdF participants. I'm not sure how accurate the list is though as it's unlikely Peraud will be there!

Gora Sanchez! (of the Sammy variety)

i was planning a weekend break to Donostia, must check the date of the race in future to coincide with the trip!

Hmm ... rain isn't forecast to get here until after the SS coverage finishes - I think I'll watch the highlights show in the evening, after the Tour of Poland stage.

I'd like to see Moreno Moser win this one. Rodriguez is surely in with a shout, and Gilbert has a bit to prove right now.

I'm going for Gerrans who was 2nd last year and will be rapt to go one better.

Where on TV do you watch these races? I guess Eurosport is a must?

I use Eurosport but others use live stream such as steephill or sportlemon

I'm not gonna try to predict a winner, however I did notice that Bob Jungels is riding. Each time I see his name I sing "Um Bongo Um Bongo they drink it in the Congo". That is all.

Very wise Noodles. You don't want to blight the chances of someone like Bob KissofDeath Jungels.

I think I pointed out before that Jungels rides for Leopard too

Gallopin is gallopin'

I try to keep a calendar of cycling coverage with links. There's a sticky in Pro Cycling but you can also get to it using the ''cycling on TV'' link in my signature.
