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?

Ok, just made a couple of changes after saying NO i wouldn’t

they went like this

Oscar Freire in for Heinrich Haussler
Rohan Dennis in for Cameron Meyer
Martin Kohler in for Steele von Hoff

SO if you have Haussler, Meyer or Van Hoff, prepare for a good score 👿

All or nothing time for me as well. I’ll probably be using 4 transfers for this stage so if it doesn’t work out, I’ll be stuffed for the final stage. 😀

LOL are you OK Stumps? Did you bump your head yesterday or just having an internet ban? :))

Or were you just playing on my original tack of feeding false info? :evil:

My biggest question for my team is will it be worth taking out greipel and putting in someone like Valverde or Bakelants for the stage then reverting back to Greipel for the last stage
