I wonder if the TDU is being looked at as a warmup event. I admit I missed stage two however GreenEDGE don't seem very present / aggressive. Not a bad thing as I am certain they have a strategy, but guess I expected them to be more dominant with breakaway action or peloton control being on home turf.
Love the performance of UniSA.

Hmmm...I wonder, freezing cold in Europe, still 5 weeks (?) till Omloop Het Nieuwsblad ( Omloop Het Volk ) the traditional start of the season ... lets go cruise around South Australia .AUbicycles wrote:So, Team GreedEDGE, is it strategy?

The euro teams may be using it as a warm up event (though there's also the issue of the points the teams get for places in this race that will give their team cars advantages in the early spring races where it's important) but there's no way GE is, aussies are all coming off nationals, new team looking for a sponsor, I'm pretty sure they'd be looking for wins for sure.

Just curiously - if Gerrans and Valverde both finished in the GC with the same exact time, and Valverde won the last stage, why is it that Gerrans gets to wear the Ochre??

Because the judges back counted their positions in the previous stages. Gerrans had a lower cumulative position count than Valverde and hence the ochre jersey.punk_rob wrote:Just curiously - if Gerrans and Valverde both finished in the GC with the same exact time, and Valverde won the last stage, why is it that Gerrans gets to wear the Ochre??

Any idea what the difference is will make for a very good last stage.sogood wrote:Because the judges back counted their positions in the previous stages.

The intermediate sprints could have time bonuses (I'm not 100% sure haven't looked at the stage details?) Valverde could make a play for the overall lead at them.vander wrote:Any idea what the difference is will make for a very good last stage.sogood wrote:Because the judges back counted their positions in the previous stages.

Too right! Put all the Tassie boys together and you would have an excellent team. How about a state of origin race series?BarryTas wrote:i've said it befoe and i will say it again
