Thank you. I hope liquigas gives a flip about my tweets, i have been giving them a hard time for the way they ride in Tour of qatar,

... told them again that today was much better.

tell them to give Moser plenty of chances - he is on my CQ team.
Are they quite active on twitter just starting following @OPQS and they're really good - linking to cyclingfans for streams and stuff

and with Gert finishing 35th and Apollonio finishing 43rd...Jamsque win

Beautiful sprint by Cav. He doesn't always need a perfect train.

Oss will break through this year, I'm sure of it.

damn... bye bye classics season for Pippo.......

Jamsque · « **Reply #160 on:** February 09, 2012, 15:33 »

You say that like he was going to do anything in the classics season

Sylvester · « **Reply #161 on:** February 09, 2012, 20:11 »

?? ??

He underperformed last year, yet he still got 5th in Milano - Sanremo. He has always done something in the classics season.

Anyone seen anything that explains why Sky didn't ride for Cavendish on stage 4?

Nope, all i saw was some comments by Eisel saying they got it wrong.

If you've not seen it already team sky stage 4 errors...

On reflection it would have been fascinating to see if having made the bunch Cav could have made it to the finish with Boonen and Cancellara...

Cav has tweet wind blowing today - tailwind.

just some guy · « **Reply #165 on:** February 10, 2012, 09:56 »

Even if a tailwind people will be stressed just in case

Champion thanks.

mc_mountain · « **Reply #171 on:** February 10, 2012, 14:01 »

Official results

at the first Sprint point Farrar, Steegmans and Flecha, were chasing seconds, got 3,2,1 in that order, GC stayed the same.

Tuart · « **Reply #172 on:** February 10, 2012, 14:36 »

And more importantly, I was only 2 places off with my prediction of Gallopin for 27th

\o/

mc_mountain · « **Reply #173 on:** February 10, 2012, 14:37 »

getting closer

Jamsque · « **Reply #174 on:** February 10, 2012, 14:38 »

We need to come up with a special prize to give whoever is the first to correctly predict a 27th place finisher

Dekker_Tifosi · « **Reply #175 on:** February 10, 2012, 16:07 »

Dekker finished 17th. A lot higher than I ever thought he would in a flat, echelon race

I know of a forum in which the mediocre performances of BMC riders are praised in a similar way.

Dekker_Tifosi · « **Reply #177 on:** February 10, 2012, 18:16 »

Different case. This is about a guy who spent a quarter of his suspension time drinking, going out and adding weight.
And who spent the other 3/4 struggling to get anywhere near a decent pro level. It's no miracle Garmin/Vaughters waited so long to sign him, they had serious doubts about his competitiveness.

It would not be strange to me had he pulled out or not being able to compete well in the echelons or do something valuable for the team here. Certainly if you saw him struggle with Chipotle in 2011 already. So yes, a top 20 is a great result all things considered.
