Tour of Turkey

Just to remind/warn people that stage 5 is being transmitted a little earlier than of late - it's on Eurosport now.

 

[Nearly there]

There's some steep roads in this race

I think I heard Marcus say that he'd just done 82kph on a descent there and that wasn't racing!

That Torku team, I've only just realised why they've been distracting me - they're the men from Del Monte!

Seeldrayers is having a go to his credit but Berhane is hanging in there

My mistake, it's Kescheskin!

Greipel far too strong for Kittel

Just been watching the highlights and saw someone get a p******e and have his wheel changed. A question arose, when they do p******e in a race and they call the car up do they put the bike into a certain gear to make the wheel change quicker?

Small chainring, small sprocket and get off the bike. It makes it easier to get the wheel off and the new one back in.

Great ride by Landis Sayar today...

Berhane seems to be in control still

lol Herzog! What are you suggesting!! Grabowski is the comparison in Turkey though.

Harmon is casting thinly veiled aspersions - as is Backstedt

 

[rich p]

Sayar is still in the big ring too

lol Herzog! What are you suggesting!! Grabowski is the comparison in Turkey though.

When seeing something like that (i.e., unbelievable), it's hard not to be skeptical!

I hope it was a phenomenal ride, but memories of Gabrovski are still fresh.
