Lars Petter...
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
He's building on that good form he had
at the end of last year
sylvan - February 8, 2012
Yup!
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
Don't get over-excited, but I see Sports-Livez are getting ready....
straw dog - February 8, 2012
Oh for goodness sake, I've just realised I have to work that Saturday!
Why do the cycling gods hate me so? :(
Albertina - February 8, 2012
Go tell your boss that you will be sick on that day
“Contaminated steak, it’s a Basque thing.”

tedvdw - February 8, 2012
Channel 12 is racist
Phil H. - February 8, 2012
3rd. Better than nothing.
Albertina - February 8, 2012
Presuming they're in the front group again after echelons puts everyone in the gutter
Can’t see past Boonen or Cavendish again.
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
Oh, don't worry.
Cav. is so short I’m sure you can see past him.
Ryan_Liles - February 8, 2012
You can see past Bert Grabsch too,
but the image is distorted by the gravitational lensing around his backside.
straw dog - February 8, 2012
PdC is in midseason form already, I see.
tehGrindCrusher - February 8, 2012
Not at all.
We are not yet frustrated and disillusioned by the performance of our F-VDS teams.
straw dog - February 8, 2012
I haven't even thought about VDS
Or even whether or not I’m going to do that this year. Last year was a huge flop for me. Dan Jansen-esque.
tehGrindCrusher - February 8, 2012
It can only get better then, right?
majope - February 8, 2012
taxi!
or rather, team car to hold onto :P
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
I'm rather hoping for Boonen in the front group and Cav getting caught out.
He can’t match Cav for pure speed in a straight out sprint but it’s not a hopeless cause ;)
Albertina - February 8, 2012
This is the bet sprint train he’s had in many years.
I think this year could be much better for him then recent history.
Ryan_Liles - February 8, 2012
I agree. It's looking more promising for sure.
Albertina - February 8, 2012
A
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
erm...
not sure what happened here, sorry
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
B
I’m quite good at this game.
tgsgirl - February 8, 2012 via mobile
D
In the Basque alphabet there is no C.
Albertina - February 8, 2012
In Chinese, there is no ‘R’; only ‘er’ & ‘ru’
Ryan_Liles - February 8, 2012
So, "arrot rash!" from now on?
tgsgirl - February 8, 2012 via mobile
That's General Arrot Ash to you!
omnevelnihil - February 8, 2012
txarrot?
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
It's pronounced like a z, so we would
have bleeding zarrots…
Mr Van P - February 8, 2012
It'd be funnier if it were pronounced like a p
tgsgirl - February 8, 2012 via mobile
Sounds like a Monty Python skit.
Mr Van P - February 8, 2012
Is it time for Renshaw to show he deserves to be the main sprinter on Rabo?
Uphill - February 8, 2012
I think that will end up being one of the worst signings of the year
PopUp Rolen - February 8, 2012
The hype is perhaps bigger than the talent, we will see.
Uphill - February 8, 2012
Agree
It’s one thing to look good leading out a guy who would win without his own train, but it’s another thing altogether to actually be the guy there at the end duking it out for the line.
tehGrindCrusher - February 8, 2012
and its unrealistic to think he'll have the better sprint results at Rabo by season's end?
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
Many riders have failed to take the step up:
Steegmans was a good leadout man for Boonen then failed trying to win himself.
I am sure there are others.
Uphill - February 8, 2012
Pre-Renshaw, Ciolek was Cav's favorite lead out, to the point where they talked about spending their careers together as a team.
majope - February 8, 2012
and Ciolek is struggling with the winning part.
Uphill - February 8, 2012
Yup--I was strengthening your point.
majope - February 8, 2012
perhaps Milram was not the best place to get confidence.
Uphill - February 8, 2012
Until they put him on leadout duty for Matthews
Joke aside, I suspect you are right but I’d give him a season or at least half a season to get into the new role.
Jens - February 8, 2012
He says his visits to sports psychologists with AIS are important in changing his mindset.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Are they secretly hypnotizing him?
“You are feeling sleeeepy. When you wake up you will want to lead out Matthews so Australia can win countless victories in the years to come.”
Jens - February 8, 2012
That could be difficult. Matthews is apparently GE bound when his contract finishes.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
oooo
Source?
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
I don't remember, but I think if you google Bannan you'll find it.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
For those who understand Dutch
broerie - February 8, 2012
a collision between two trams in Tervuren today three slightly injured?
my dutch is limited
singhstax - February 8, 2012
is this an attempt to spread the language of Dutch?
Uphill - February 8, 2012
It's a funny
last sentence: “Both trams are old models, like the people on it.”
tedvdw - February 8, 2012
Ah, thanks.
I was thinking some sort of extended metaphor—like, the two “trams” represented sprint trains, and was working on the “three slightly injured,” still trying to decide whether that was literal injury or the pain competitors like Boonen, Farrar, and Renshaw felt as Cavendish whooshed past them once again.
majope - February 8, 2012
wooden shoes all over the tracks.. :-)
Mr Van P - February 8, 2012
Cav going by those guys looks similar to a TGV train going past a
bunch of grazing deer.
Uphill - February 8, 2012
stay off drugs!
broerie - February 8, 2012
Ha. They've already corrected it
tgsgirl - February 8, 2012 via mobile
flauw
broerie - February 8, 2012
www.steephill.tv - Preview of today's stage
Of all of the 2012 Tour of Qatar stages that can be affected by the wind, this is the one to keep an eye on. After all we finish in Madinat Al Shamal and a “shamal” is the name for a northwesterly wind blowing over Iraq and the Persian Gulf states which is often strong during the day.
singhstax - February 8, 2012
Someone on Twitter says the stage is about to end.
majope - February 8, 2012
What? Already?
Albertina - February 8, 2012
Strong tailwind.
majope - February 8, 2012
Must be a mega tailwind, coverage hasn't even started yet!
Albertina - February 8, 2012
I know, the tweet was something along the lines of "ES hasn't started, but the stage is 4km from ending" but I can't find it now.
majope - February 8, 2012
Maybe they were wrong...or someone would have tweeted results by now.
majope - February 8, 2012
Hmm. Someone has tweeted a result...
majope - February 8, 2012
I'm now wondering if its just the UCI being late with the stage 3 result
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
Could you share with us the name of this someone?
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Scroll down.
majope - February 8, 2012
signing off. Need to go to work...
Tommeke, Tommekke, Tommeke…
Mr Van P - February 8, 2012
o/t the final race of Mallorca Challenge is cancelled.
Uphill - February 8, 2012
Le bah.
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
will Northug be the overall winner now?
Uphill - February 8, 2012
Don't think there is any overall
Because its not specifically a “stage race”. Don’t quote me though, I may be wrong but I haven’t seen any GC result
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
No, no GC. Riders don't have to do all the 'stages'
Albertina - February 8, 2012
the GC is very unofficial.
Uphill - February 8, 2012
I think it was Dowsett who tweeted that Henao was the very unofficial GC leader
TheFigurehead - February 8, 2012
Anyway, an hour or so ago Bak and Shimizu were the break.
majope - February 8, 2012
Cavendish wins?
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Albertina - February 8, 2012
False alarm
phew
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
It's on now.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
28 kms to go. Echelons and breakaways.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Hi, all. They're saying "live" at 28k to go.
Ruthann - February 8, 2012
Michael Barry injured.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Bummer.
majope - February 8, 2012
Looks like a hard fall.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Chute! Oh, noes, Michael Barry!
Ruthann - February 8, 2012
great racing
today!
singhstax - February 8, 2012
Boonen is hungry for this race.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Nice to see him going for it.
majope - February 8, 2012
I agree.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
AFter taking the 2nd sprint over Farrar, he's now 7" ahead on GC.
Ruthann - February 8, 2012
o/t: oh, ffs, twitter, did you really need to reverse the interface?
umwolverine - February 8, 2012
What does that mean um?
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
tweets use to be on the left, now on the right.
plus, the font is smaller, and the time since tweeted has also been moved.
umwolverine - February 8, 2012
Ouch. And we read left to right :(
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
exactly
umwolverine - February 8, 2012
oh, and, to compose a tweet, it's now on the upper left corner
umwolverine - February 8, 2012
+1
What a waste of 1/2 the screen
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
No Cav in front group
Farrar and Boonen there
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
Cav got his win. Letting the kids play.
Uphill - February 8, 2012
Yessss!
Albertina - February 8, 2012
Tombo with 3 teammates
Says the OPQS twitter (which is exceptionally good this season so far)
tgsgirl - February 8, 2012 via mobile
Indeed it is! They even interact with me! :)
Albertina - February 8, 2012
any news on your prize?
Jens - February 8, 2012
No! :(
Albertina - February 8, 2012
If I repeat my joke, will you kill me?
tgsgirl - February 8, 2012 via mobile
Yes
Albertina - February 8, 2012
Jebus help me
the red Gilbert shorts are growing on me.
Jens - February 8, 2012
Some growths should be removed.
majope - February 8, 2012
You need to lie down.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
a Swede liking lots of red. Rare indeed.
Uphill - February 8, 2012
23k to go, gap 19" between first and second echelon.
Ruthann - February 8, 2012
My feed seems to be a few seconds behind, but it's beautifully clear so I don't think I'll look for another.
majope - February 8, 2012
Aidis Kroupis won the first sprint. Good boy :)
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
He wants to be on many FSA VDS teams.
majope - February 8, 2012
I want him to be too...has potential I'd say :)
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
I want bonus for being the only one to take him last year...
you all copied!
Vlaanderen90 - February 8, 2012
I'm betting he will be on less than ten teams.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
I'll take that bet.
majope - February 8, 2012
Excellent. I'll send you a copy of 'Cloudstreet' when you win :)
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Missed the first minutes
did we see the split?
Jens - February 8, 2012
No.
Ruthann - February 8, 2012
Farnese Vini trying to shut the break down
singhstax - February 8, 2012
Go Guardini!
Albertina - February 8, 2012
Whats that road surface?
singhstax - February 8, 2012
sand
broerie - February 8, 2012
camel track ;P
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
I am guessing tarmac
Uphill - February 8, 2012
ES2 Commentator Brian Smith says the 2nd group will catch the first,
but Boonen and Gert S. are driving that first group like crazy, gap now 26".
Ruthann - February 8, 2012
Echelon 2 splitting too
broerie - February 8, 2012
16 guys left in first echelon
broerie - February 8, 2012
fantastic racing!
broerie - February 8, 2012
including Blythe
broerie - February 8, 2012
& Farrar
broerie - February 8, 2012
30" gap now
broerie - February 8, 2012
echooooloooons
Jens - February 8, 2012
Fantastic work by Boonen, Fabian and the Sky riders
broerie - February 8, 2012
ES says Eisel is there for the win
Jens - February 8, 2012
Cruel racing, love it
Jens - February 8, 2012
Very cruel.
I’m starving, but don’t want to go make breakfast and miss anything.
majope - February 8, 2012
Mwahahaha
Albertina - February 8, 2012
Boonen showing leadership capability again.
Uphill - February 8, 2012
Is this a rerun of yesterday's stage?
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
It feels like a while since he's been this assertive and 'present' with his team.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
I thought I was replying to Uphill.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Splosh...
majope - February 8, 2012
It was really a big neigh splosh :(
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
It's been a while,
approximately 365 days to be semi-exact.
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
Gogo EchelonEdge :D
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
Baden & Kruopis
Jens - February 8, 2012
Cookie's sticking to Kroupis like glue.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Langeveld too?
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
I think he punctured and was trying to come back.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Think he got dropped a few minutes ago
Jens - February 8, 2012
I think the first group will be caught
riders starting to look around
singhstax - February 8, 2012
nah, doubtful
many seem keen still
Jens - February 8, 2012
true
riders slowing the other group
singhstax - February 8, 2012
don't think so
all the strong guys are in the front
broerie - February 8, 2012
Gap 34", 13.4k to g
Ruthann - February 8, 2012
16 riders in front group
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
I don't think Langeveld's there.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Cancellara, Kroupis, Boonen, Farrar, Eisel
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
oh and Blythe
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
BIG boys.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Flecha
broerie - February 8, 2012
would ride for Eisel surely
otherwise, wtf are Sky doing
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
Go, Bernie!
majope - February 8, 2012
wow, cyclingfever revamped it's home page also today
umwolverine - February 8, 2012
Are Sky just riding for the hell of it?
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
I think it's just in case Group Two catches up.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
That's right, wouldnt want Cav to catch them,
‘cos he’s on HTC.. No, wait!
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
Sky DS yelling out the window "stop riding ffs, Cav is not in the front group"
Uphill - February 8, 2012
Eisel
Jens - February 8, 2012
yeah, most "logical" conclusion
but who knows?
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
Bad. Idea.
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
not in February
Jens - February 8, 2012
+1
majope - February 8, 2012
:) Well, maybe not, but iIf you let Cav sprint, you win.
Let’s see if Eisel can do better than that.
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
Cav is still recovering from that virus--might make sense to let him get a bit of a breather today.
Especially since he made his point yesterday.
majope - February 8, 2012
Well, of course if you look at the picture,
this may be perfectly sensible.
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
the BIG picture
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
But if you stifle your greed and throw Eisel a bone in February
He will be better help March-August. Net gain?
Jens - February 8, 2012
Gotcha.
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
Flecha riding for 4th GC
singhstax - February 8, 2012
Boonen's like a kelpie with a mob of sheep.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Why did they replay Boonens bellydance?
Jens - February 8, 2012
They've got a female working the "replay" button today.
Ruthann - February 8, 2012
disclaimer: it's early
Farrar not looking good for bunch sprints, but making all of the right breaks looks good for classics
PopUp Rolen - February 8, 2012
Let's say that for everyone bar Cav shall we? excellent excuse.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
I fired and then rehired him yesterday for those exact reasons.
majope - February 8, 2012
Offredo too, he's got a bit of a sprint on him, did well at MSR last year too
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
Fabian was quite fast there too
broerie - February 8, 2012
Thor looks terrible, which looks good for the classics.
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
Ramunas Navardauskas
will keep this together for Farrar
singhstax - February 8, 2012
Navadauskus
Lithuanian Jens? Is a monster on the front, no wonder he made the TDF team last year
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
+1 Amazing, especially for such a young guy.
Ruthann - February 8, 2012
7.2k to go!!
Ruthann - February 8, 2012
Back to the cameltrack section now
broerie - February 8, 2012
fingers crossed for no flats
broerie - February 8, 2012
Should be a cool little sprint
Not many but some fast & interesting names there
Jens - February 8, 2012
not sure it will end in a sprint
PopUp Rolen - February 8, 2012
unless Fabian....
broerie - February 8, 2012
WOOOOOOW
broerie - February 8, 2012
It feels like a mini classic in the sun.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
This has quite the classic feel to it
Very enjoyable

what a classic preview
Boonen v Cancellara
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
Boonen using a bit more brains today. Could bode well.
Uphill - February 8, 2012
Fabian, Boonen, Steegmans, Van Keirsbulck, Flecha and Kluge
broerie - February 8, 2012
kudos to Kluge as well
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
fun comments on his effort in the TTT the other day
Jens - February 8, 2012
Yup, only one who managed to close the gap alone (Van Keirsbuck on his wheel)
broerie - February 8, 2012
Maes no?
Jens - February 8, 2012
I thought VK
broerie - February 8, 2012
you were right
broerie - February 8, 2012
weird, graphic must've been wrong, never saw him mentioned
strong ride either way
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
(I meant Jens was right)
broerie - February 8, 2012
He was listed when they where 16
Jens - February 8, 2012
there is nothing better in bike racing then when riders split the peloton on a flat road
PopUp Rolen - February 8, 2012
best race of the year so far!
broerie - February 8, 2012
So exciting! I'm on the edge of my seat!!

When that one berg in Flanders gets officially renamed th Boonen-berg

Tempting a lot of people right now, I bet.

RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
Not much...maybe 8?
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
12
majope - February 8, 2012
Bye bye Gerrans :)
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Not enough.
majope - February 8, 2012
Like, six gummy bears and some scotch?
omnevelnihil - February 8, 2012
12
lieutenantmudd - February 8, 2012
Thanks
8 would have been a bargain, 12…a gamble :P
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
It's all a gamble :)
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
12 for a 500 point guy
is robbery.
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
500 points?
we’re not talking about Edvald now
Jens - February 8, 2012
Also massively overpriced. :D
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
So if you're convinced he's a 500-point guy
don’t take him.
On the other hand, if you suspect he’s really a 1200-point guy…
majope - February 8, 2012
I will make a note of this.
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
Yeah, I'm confused now
500 points is is less than Nuyens, who’s 10pts @700pts
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
Boonen only scored about 570 points yesteryear.
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
so it it robbery because he costs 12pts for 500pts last year of robbery to the player because he can exceed that?
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
One of us needs to stop drinking...
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
Lol
I’m sober :(
RollinRollinRolland - February 8, 2012
So am I, so perhaps i'm just comprehension challenged.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
I think proven long term earning potential
weighs in there vs. a possible flash in the fan dicount for Nuyens
Jens - February 8, 2012
Mine isn't even close to finalised, so it's easy.
Seahorse - February 8, 2012
I'm calling you Antipodean-Drew now
(except he’s had Boonen since day 1 of course)
(since 2006 really)
Jens - February 8, 2012
Clearly you're not into that whole brevity thing.
omnevelnihil - February 8, 2012
I have submitted my team 3 days ago
and I have him
broerie - February 8, 2012
Actually with Tommeke and El Pistolero
You’re guaranteed to book-end the season nicely.
omnevelnihil - February 8, 2012
Remember, this is the race that predicted the Haussler glory year...
That is all.
Ed K - February 8, 2012
February's not early if your season only goes through early April
lieutenantmudd - February 8, 2012
Good point.
majope - February 8, 2012
+1
PopUp Rolen - February 8, 2012
reminds me of 2005 somehow
broerie - February 8, 2012
Nice.
majope - February 8, 2012
MASSIVE HAPPYDANCE!
Albertina - February 8, 2012
Brammeier wasn't looking very happy
(didn’t make the break)
broerie - February 8, 2012
Cameraman, please do not pan away when Tommeke removes his jersey!
Albertina - February 8, 2012
People have been calling for the next Eddy Merckx for quite some time..
Holdenmate - February 8, 2012
eddy has boo-boos on his elbow
umwolverine - February 8, 2012
Barring a badly-timed flat, Boonen's got this.
But there sure were a lot of badly-timed flats today.
majope - February 8, 2012
I take offense
when sucky little pebbles bring down my clever predictions
Jens - February 8, 2012
Roubaix must be hell for you.
majope - February 8, 2012
If those are pebbles, what are these?
Jens - February 8, 2012
History
