Tirreno-Adriatico 2012 (with SPOILERS)

Any ideas why Robbie Hunter (garmin) was wearing the wrong kit today?

It would appear he had a note from his mum, the washing machine was broken so he had to just wear what was clean.

I think it's his RSA Champion Jersey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A good win for Cav, MSR looks like being interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[smutchin]

Ha! That was brilliant. Everyone looking for Cav...

Yeah, Plan B worked. That was a very strong sprint from EBH to hold off all the best finishers.

 

[rich p]

He held them off despite them being able to draught him for a fair distance. Very impressive.

 

[raindog]

I missed this yesterday but just watched the replay. Very, very impressive from EBH. Sky have got some serious options in place to be able to win two important sprints on consecutive days with different riders.

Sagan is looking good though, and with his ability to finish like that on a hilly stage as well as being up there on the flat ones, he's going to be a serious contender for points jerseys at the GTs...

He is gonna be a serious contender for MSR and other classics too. Do you think he could do a Gilbert this year?

Chris Horner is remarkable for a 40 year old.

Isn't he just... and less than a year after a pulmonary embolism too.

Bruyneel is truly a magician.

Bruyneel is truly a magician.

It's a miracle!

 

[VamP]

Hallelujah!

Who for the overall? Not much in it, I am staking my money on Kreuziger, but freely admit it's purely on nationalistic grounds.

 

[VamP]

Nibali from Horner from Kreuziger.

Just goes to show nationalism is never a good enough reason for anything.
