That's a very promising win by this neo-pro to beat Al-Jet.
Don't know much about, but could very well be one to keep an eye on... |

Certainly a big talent. 5th in last year's U23 worlds, where Demare won.

He needs to finish the race to enter the top 1200 of the CQ Ranking, duh.

There was me thinking he was beginning a career in Cross! |

Another nice win by Cummings and gratz to Tony. EBH on 3rd gets 3rd Overall and points jersey, good race for him as well - and with this Sky break the 15,000 CQ Ranking points barrier never achieved before.

Another proof that EBH is a great talent and that Sky needs him 
Great win by Martin (and also stage win for Cummings)
This Tour de Beijing didn't really disappoint, actually! |

Andy didn't want to risk his condition by trundling in after the police had gone home. |

I'm not even sure that you can call Schleck a cyclist any more. That involves occassionally riding a bike.

You can say what you want about stagiares being advantaged in late season, but this is really impressive.
Also great to see 3 Germans in the (final) CQ Top 10 now after Tony's late points haul
And as I'm posting already, the information given to the viewer was basically non-existent.
I won't complain about time gaps every 5 minutes only, that is enough, but it's completely useless if we get to see the distance to the finish once every hour.

That's relative. Besides gianni1, Schleck is probably still a better cyclist than anyone else on this forum.  |

He is really talented. He has a couple of good l'Avenir results behind him as well. I'd watch out for him in the next couple of years.

He had a crap season. I think he'll come back just as strong as before, though. |

Races he has finished this year:
Trofeo Palma
Tour of Oman
Amstel
Fleche
LBL
An impressive amount of five races, four of which are classics!

Hey, you're forgetting his "best" race, the 22nd place at the Tour de la Sarthe.

Just watched yesterday's sprint. Hesdejal deserves to have his Giro victory stripped for that. When Cummings jumps, what does he do? He turns his head to see where the pack is, which is completely irrelevant in that situation. Just flat out go! If he doesn't turn his head, he's got a great chance to snag Cummings' wheel, and as Cummings went from too far out, he would have had a great chance to snag the stage.
Stupid. |

The huge turn he did directly before makes me think he gifted Cummings the win long before in exchange for his improved GC position.

Because moving up to 18th in GC is groundbreaking...
