might be coincidence with the sprinters... i am not really looking (no money at the moment) but i haven´t seen a good classic rider with some real sprint skill (64+) that was his money worth yet since the new system started... not a SINGLE ONE i would have bought as substitute for Cutunio...(Cutunio...

11.05.2011,10 Uhr GIRO : Giro 11 tappa 5 Piombino-Orvieto: Mittelschwere Etappe 1. 00:00:00 Gino Cutunio (Ariostea) 2. 00:00:00 Manuel Puig (Alkworld) 3. 00:00:00 Filippo Raggi (Ariostea) 4. 00:00:01 Marius Wagner (Team Warriors) 5. 00:00:01 Nanami Nasawa (Team Warriors) as expected the stage had so...

Puig attack...no problem. Gino got his wheel. everybody else coming back...is ok too, would have taken a sprint against Zahradka too, bringing back Raggi for controlling and Aldelio for blocking the end. more problematic was a possible attack in front by Camargo - and don´t know whom to follow with ...

10.05.2011,10 Uhr GIRO : Giro 11 tappa 4 Genova-Livorno: Mittelschwere Etappe 1. 00:00:00 Gino Cutunio (Ariostea) 2. 00:00:00 Shawn ODriscoll (ChartreuseCycle) 3. 00:00:00 Teko Hunter (Vuvuzela) 4. 00:00:00 Aaron Hope (Vuvuzela) 5. 00:00:00 Jinichi Nasawa (Samurais) another win by Gino. 2 stages won...

9.05.2011,10 Uhr GIRO : Giro 11 tappa 3 ReggioEmilia-Rapallo: Flachetappe 1. 00:00:00 Gino Cutunio (Ariostea) 2. 00:00:00 Shawn ODriscoll (ChartreuseCycle) 3. 00:00:00 Frida Kahlo (Alkworld) 4. 00:00:00 Teko Hunter (Vuvuzela) 5. 00:00:00 Aaron Hope (Vuvuzela) a good win for Gino. this wasn´t as easy...

do you think so? i bet on the Hubers. Ari´s look into the cristall ball says: ***** Kamehameha **** Anderson, Nasawa *** Marechal, Hope, Marquez the Huber´s helper could have 2 or 3 points more mountainskill - but 31km TT in Milano...will have an impact. but it is a long hard tour - a lot can happen...

8.05.2011,10 Uhr GIRO : Giro 11 tappa 2 Alba-Parma: Flachetappe 1. 00:00:00 Andreas Zahradka (Samurais) 2. 00:00:00 Gino Cutunio (Ariostea) 3. 00:00:00 CharlesM Harper (Vuvuzela) 4. 00:00:00 Djibo Dombo (BMG-Allstars) 5. 00:00:00 Frida Kahlo (Alkworld) quite a calm stage actually - only 3 and a half...

congrats to Crecchio for winning the TTT - an italian team wins the first stage of the Giro is a good thing i guess. so the Ariostea´s ride the Giro for the first time in the team´s history. line up: 1) Nanni (34) 82-70-75-50-58 - 34 years and still unsuccessful - trying to save his career at the Gi...

spring season 2011 March traditionally racing one of the classic tours in March the Ariosteas had a good Paris - Nizza by winning 4 out of 8 stages of the race (2 Cutunio, 2 Nanni) and Gino taking the points jersey. also more or less traditionally the team was unfortunately not able to take part in...

in my opinion it would be no problem to have bigger pelotons. to 26 teams may be should be ok. there are always enough teams that are offline...for one day races no problem. i guess 26 teams (means 18 -22 online) is better than 12... and in tours it would be good too: there everybody is racing for s...

Luna: Das Mitgehen ist gut wie es ist. Wenigstens ein Punkt im Spiel in dem die Einbeinigen agieren können, wie ganz normale Rennfahrer. richtig. bin gegen jede weitere Aufwertung des Flachwerts: 1. Flach ist nunmal nicht selektiv. 2.Andernfalls müssen wir Flachwert auch teurer machen, was zu mehr E...

er kommt aus dem Windschatten... das ist schon nicht zu vernachlässigen. der Fahrer, der in einer Gruppe als erster auf die letzten 1000-800 Meter geht, hat schon die schlechtesten Chancen den Sprint zu gewinnen. deshalb will ja dann auch keiner mehr vorbeifahren und die Führung der Gruppe übernehme...

allagen wenn von dieser 1 fahrer jetzt einer bei 500m sprintet, wieso sollte der der die attacke gesetzt hat nicht folgen können? weil er quasi schon einen langen Sprint von vorn in den Beinen hat (die Attacke), der andere den Vorteil hat, aus dem Windschatten zu kommen und unser Attackierer entspre...

also unrealistisch finde ich es eigentlich nicht, wie es ist. wer auf dem letzten km von vorn geht, hat in der Regel die schlechtesten Karten im Sprint. Attacke und durchziehen, viel mehr bleibt da eigentlich fast nicht. wenn wir es ändern , finde ich es auch nicht schlimm. aber bin eher für lassen,...

hm - hab auch noch keinen gesehen, für den sich ein Gebot gelohnt hätte. Aber das war bei dem alten System auch oft so über mehrere Tage, auch wenn man sich da einreden noch konnte, sicher waren gute drauf - sind halt schon weg. Andererseits konnte man gerade am Monatsanfang aber auch damals so etwa...

i don´t know if we need dayform for less foreseeability in the races. i think more effective would be to bring more competition into the races. meaning: having less races per day but better pelotons. and make "racing cheap and saving ennergy" but taking money with some places less attractive compare...

Petr Mlha Superstar! 59-82 und 46 Sprint. 5 Siege! bei gefühlten 8 Ausreissversuchen. Quote stimmt. Klassikerstar. Eindeutig Weltklasse. Erfüllt hier alle Voraussetzungen problemlos. eines stimmt schon: Klassiker für Wenigfahrteams oft nicht unbedingt attraktiv... - entweder kann man zeitlich eh nic...

a real action stage today: bergwerk in the attack at km 1 - but having the strongest team for the end - so if the Ari´s want to go for the stage - couldn´t let him go. Valotti strong enough for that. honestly: it did not come to my mind that it could be the beginning for an attack for yellow... more...

this was a good stage! why? 1.Nanni taking his first win. finally. actually he is a real loser - like Poalini was before. just a Weichei. but when it´s time to hurt the bergwerks - he finally got it. 2.finally some action in the beginning of the race. some riders want to join a group! good! 3.Bergwe...

pff... Aldelio (who doesn´t like Chinese anyway) had a look at Qian yesterday - he did not look good at all. Nanni looked much stronger - spaghetti eater...(forget about rice...). at 2, 3 or 4% - Qian would have to fight to follow a Nanni-attack probably. but anyway - no matter what they did in the ...

3 stages done. what did we get so far? 1. no groups going. 1st stage and today the group worked well, but only 2 riders on both stages in the attack...no chance. 2nd stage: more riders but the teamwork was finished after the first sprint. that´s why easy wins for the favorite teams so far. the small...

Dürr - out of nowhere... right! cool race - couldn´t see it but probably cool race... the Tour looks quite perfect for Kokorin i would say - 76 mountain will probably see him in front of Cutunio on every hill - so the Aris might do the work for him on the hilly stages - and the sprinter´s team on th...

The unsuccesful Goop (O victories, zero, niente) was last seen in the Long John Bar in Schaan with his cousin Elmar

told you 6 months ago to get rid of him...just a Weichei.

It's nearly common sense that even if there is a rider who never in his career achieved any result is forbidden to work for a top 8 rank in an escape group, because even the most modest riders have to kindly risk their one-life-oppotunity for the little chance of winning yes, but this is connected ...

Luna: Goals: - Making the team sizes adequate to the race. The organizers design their races in the awareness of the expected number of riders per team. Doing every race with 9 riders disobeys the real character of the races. They become more controlled than needful. nobody can control a race with 9...
