TDU Stage 5

lucas · 2012-01-19T06:24:02+00:00

Ok, a couple of things: 1. Who are the true climbers in the TDU? Valverde, Gerrans, Meyer? Why hasn't LL Sanchez shown himself? Will Tiago Machado come through? Will Sandy Casar give it a go? Can Boassen hang? 2. What's Willunga Hill going to do to the GC? How long is it? What gradients? What will the time gaps be?

Dave can join if he wants, he has the number to ALL leagues and can prob accept himself 👿

It is a long season, as you showed today, 200 points can be had in one stage, so only a stage/classic behind you

We’ll see who’s laughing on the 23rd Oct 😉 :B

considering we’re soon going into the physiotherapist business together, Please may I have an invite to your rivals league?

I did pretty well last year considering the fact that I got no points on both Ghent wevelgem and that stage that came the day after the last in like Canada…

Now stuck with a team
Now stuck with a team designed to go up Old Willunga Hill and win, so am expecting to lose most of the 216 place gained on Willunga come the next stage.
Thought Sanchez & Valverde were hiding their light but Sanchez did me in, should have followed my instincts after stage two re Sanchez.
Oh well lets hope Steele Von Hoff does something crit wise. But can only see sky and Lotto-Belisol tussling for points, GreenEDGE trying to spoil and Movistar chasing the other three.

Never a truer word said ! 200+ points is easy to make up if no one else takes part in a stage 👿

Yeh and it is a long season. Why is head honcho Dave A not in our rivals league? running scared, or not showing favouritism, what do you think? 👿

To be honest, i don’t have a clue either, i don’t even know who has what jersey and who is leading the race??

Oh are you still in this game, heh heh.

haven’t got a clue what to do for tommorrow, and as some hikes up the table were as much as 200 odd places, I assume that a drop tommorrow of similar proportions is possible. I don’t know whether to play it safe and go for the points for all the jersey winners, or look for a stage winner. I don’t know this race. Will it be a procession and bunch sprint, or an actual race. Greipel is obviously the form sprinter, but lots of others with something to prove.
