Never been so happy, had a decent bet on Cunego to beat S.Yates on head to head. After he crashed I was bit pissed, but it happens. Just checked the results and Cunego finished ahead of him Just a shame I couldn't bet higher amounts, forgot to deposit today by forgetting my issue number for credit card, lol
Thanks for he video, last three minutes of this race are enough.
Fantastic flying performance from Valverde and interesting uphill sprint with pretty large number of riders in the final group. i stand corrected with Kreuziger, he seems getting better and could be very good bet for LBL with especially Martin, also great FW for him.
Gutted to see Arredondo miss the top10. It would be nice to see such a low profile rider in the mix for the win, and at some point it looked like he could take a top5 or even a podium.
Impressive figures there ruben. It further enhances the notion that the sport is once again taking the wrong direction this year...

I'm not sure you're right there. I can remember a few riders celebrating in the last few years, which happens because the finish line comes 50m or so after the actual peak of the Muur.
Martin could well win LBL. I know who my PCM$ are on.

Very exiciting this new columbian i agree
- My memory can be weak here ofc sorry. It just seem like a demonstrative win with very much time to celebrate
Thanks admir. Valv played that perfectly, strong legs. Looks like he's now there where he should have been already at AGR.
Now with AGR and Huy out of the way, it's time for the big one finally, so looking forward to La Doyenne.

Arredondo is all but "new Colombian".
What exactly has he done that makes him "old"?
I never said "old", but definitely not "new". Well, here are some of his better results in this and past few years:
- 2014 Tirreno Adriatico - 5th GC
- 2013 Tour de Langkawi - 1st GC
- 2014 GP Camaiore - 3rd
- 2014 Tour de San Luis - 4th GC
- 2014 Tour de San Luis - 2nd KoM
- 2014 Tour de San Luis Stage 6 - 1st
- 2013 Tour of Japan - 2nd GC
- Few stage and GC wins in some 1.2 and 2.2 races.
I guess these results are enough to at least know his name. And being a part of one UWT team such as Trek should be another reason, also. Of course, I am not judging someone that doesn't know him, opposite actually, but being 25 y/o, winning 2.HC race, finishing in Top 5 in UWT race such as Tirreno is enough for me and everyone who's following cycling closely.

The only impressive result that is as important as today's performance is the 5th place in Tirreno. Which was achieved last month. So new
