Cavendish V Greipel
Postby ft_critical » Tue Aug 10, 2010 9:05 am
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/greipel ... arma-lotto
Apparently, Cav is a speed sprinter, whilst Greipel is a power sprinter....
I only hope we see some fighting, on the course and in the press, at some of the 's*** small races' before next years TDF.
For mine Greipel is amazing, he can come over the top from a long way out, but Cav is still in a different league. I hope it lives up to my expectations...

I thought the early speculatyion was that there were some other teammates from HTC going with him (Eisel & Grabsh), but they have since resigned with HTC.
Leaving Greipel out on his own .... What is the Omega sprint leadout like ??????

As far as Jurgen is concerned there isn't oneMichaelB wrote:What is the Omega sprint leadout like ??????
When Robbie was there it certainly wasn't a train. At times there were one or two left to lead him out, often he'd just fend for himself, he seemed to like that.
To be fair that was a few years ago now. Will be interesting to see how it develops and what races they target.
Cavendish V Anyone in a sprint finish is a mismatch when the Columbia man has any sort of form.

If it's anything like their ability to support a strong GC contender he'll probably just continue to use the HTC one.MichaelB wrote:What is the Omega sprint leadout like ??????

Would be a mouth watering prospect to see Cav and Andre head to head for a few days in Adelaide

I doubt it, but so insightful a post. Especially after only 7 posts on this forum. Repect.Mr Squiggle wrote:Any chance Cav would come for the TDU?? or will HTC just stick with Renshaw and Goss maybe...

Great to see that, especially compared to the people that were accidentally released from the Halfway Cafe and allowed to post in grown-up threads.

The footage of Cav come over Hushovd and burning off Pettachi in Paris was mighty impressive. When he is on, I don't think anybody will beat him, but I would be interested to see Greipel get a few early ones over him and see what the response is...

Mark Renshaw should possibly spend more time and attention, on moving in the
direction of the finish, and less on "headbutts" and running other riders off line,
and he may be able to make up that 10Kph.
(and while we are at it Chav, might be a better rider if he stuck to a straight line while sprinting)

92nd Coppa Bernocchi
2010 Coppa Bernocchi
CSF-Colnago sprinter Manuel Belletti beats Danilo Hondo and Mark Cavendish in Coppa Bernocchi.
Francesco Gavazzi takes the diamond as overall winner of the Trittico Lombardo.
24 year old Manuel Belleti has scored his second win of the season by winning the Coppa Bernocchi today.
The sprinter of the CSF-Colnago team, also winner of the Giro D'Italia stage to Cesenatico,
was the best in the sprint over Lampre's Danilo Hondo and the winner of five stages in the recent
Tour de France Mark Cavendish. Daniele Colli and Daniele Bennati finished fourth and fifth.
For Belletti it's likely his most beautiful win in his career beating lots of top sprinters.
Coppa Agostoni winner Francesco Gavazzi (Lampre) secured his overall win in the Trittico Lombardo
(the prize for the best results in the three one-day races).
Gavazzi got a diamond with a total worth of 10.000 Euros.
Result
1 Manuel BELLETTI ITA COG 25 4:43:35 80 80

2º stage Eneco Tour.
Distance: 198,5 km
Road – Stage
Departure: St. Willebrord, The Netherlands
Arrival: Ardooie, Belgium
Andre Greipel (GER) demonstrated in Ardooie why Omega Pharma-Lotto has him.
He knocked off Robbie McEwen (AUS) and Edvald Boasson Hagen (NOR) in the sprint,
Svein Tuft remains leader.
The longest stage on this Eneco Tour has inspired everyone to do great things.
Cheers,
BrentonO

Don't disagree at all mate - and if they both went straight line for the finish, Andre will have very little chance...brentono wrote:Mr.S

How did André get all those points from s*** small races? Aren't s*** small races only half points then? TDF has to be like double points though right?

Omega Pharma Lotto is starting to get some pretty strong GC riders coming thru as well.

I am not the greatest fan of either of the blokes, but at the same time I cannot wait to see them head to head, and see Cavs reactions should Andre get a few wins over him I just hope Im not disappointed...

I’m a paid professional. This is not a f****** hobby! I’m in cycling to succeed!
If I wanted to get s*** small wins, I'd race s*** small races.
My wins speak for themselves
When it comes down to a sprint, you can count on me
me on bad form is still better than him
there’s no chance whatsoever that he’s coming to a bike race that I’m in
My riding hasn’t been so bad that I didn’t deserve to start.
