Properly bizarre top 10.0

Mollema is in some good form at the minute.
Dark horse for the Worlds?0 -
Just dripping in talent this race. Guess it must be due to the Worlds being in the US and the acclimatisation.
Really happy for Uran.
Best GBR rider is my man Yates. Who the complete losers at BC decided not to take to the Worlds. Well placed he was along with Formolo.

Yeah, finishing one place ahead of Hennie Haussler in 32nd is really at the pointy. :roll:"Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Given the reported nature of the course it does seem a slightly odd selection though.[url=http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19701437#p19701437]Blazing Saddles[/url] wrote:Just dripping in talent this race. Guess it must be due to the Worlds being in the US and the acclimatisation.

Uran seemed to just power off the front, never really attacked, they just let him go. He just had enough in the tank to hold on at the finish. A classy win for the Colombian hardman.

Nice win for Wellens in Montreal. And lookie who is 2nd and 16th, my men the Yates, who BC in all their non-wisdom are not taking to the Tour, probably because these lads have balls and snubbed Sky.

Yates and Wellens attacked on the final decisive climb over Mont Royal and held off a chase group that included Costa, Jan Bakelants and Romain Bardet (Ag2r-La Mondiale) and Wilco Kelderman (LottoNL-Jumbo). The pair rounded the final U-turn and tested one another in the final 400 metres to see who would jump first, almost getting caught by the chasers. In the end, it was Wellens who sprinted to the line with the victory, leaving Yates in second place.
"Wellens was super strong, and all they way in toward the finish he was doing the most work and giving the biggest turns," Yates said. "He wasn't just the strongest at the finish but also from the top of the last climb. I'm happy with second and I'll come back next year to try and do one better."Contador is the Greatest0 -
Lots of (very) young riders doing well there: Wellens and Yates fighting it out for the win; Benoot, and Kelderman in the top 10, 21 year olds Vervaeke and Soler in the break0

Believe which ever version you like.the Yates, who BC in all their non-wisdom are not taking to the Tour, probably because these lads have balls and snubbed Sky.“I don’t think that it’s a course for myself or Adam to do well in, maybe on the day and in certain conditions, but I haven’t seen the course, only heard what people have said. We had a quick discussion and there are better riders to help the leaders.”0

Shall we go with the version from the people actually have a clue?Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0
