    Tour of Poland has increased in prestige in the past couple of years.

    To be honest I don't know much about the route to offer an informed opinion.

    Eurosport did have edited highlights of this Tour last year.

    If I get a chance to see it this year, i'll post about the coverage.
    Some big names mentioned in the start list : Basso, Guesdon, Quinziato, Furlan, Hoste.

    stage six would hold the most interest for me. finishing in zakopane after something like ten cat one climbs?! just dumbfounded why milram haven't put either of the velits brothers on the team.

    Haha! That's what I was thinking about stage 6.

    Surely those Cat 1 climbs aren't long. They're probably like 3-5km at 10% maybe.

    i think you've got it with szymd taking gc. somewhat impressed by euski's team. looks like milram are targetting san sebastian, throwing quite a nice list of riders to put gerdemann on the front. hoping their plan works out there.

    Honestly this tour normally sucks ass. Just not competitive enough. Still, better than the Enec tour right? Good prep for worlds candidates.

    Any race is better than the Eneco Tour.

    Tour of Ulan Bator.
    Centralia to Bumfuk classic
    Bhopal chemical plant criterium
    Giro d'Chernobal
    The Bagdad Tour of the Minefields
    The 4 Days of the Black Hole of Calcutta
    New York Central Park Nocturne criterium
    Tour of Lower New Orleans Hurricane Classic
    Alabama Moonshiner Territory individual time trial
    Rund und dem Bergen-Belsen Watch Turm

    All better races IMO.

    you know there was something magical about the start to the centralia classic. almost dreamy. of course that could have just been the carbon monoxide from the mine fire talking, but still...

    What are you talking about?

    There hasn't been a post deleted by a user or a mod for 2 days. I've deleted the odd spam message that got through and maybe 50 or 60 spam messages that ended up in the moderation queue.

    I made a post about why do people call it the Tour of Pologne given that Tour de France means lap of France and such translation probably doesn't mean the same thing in Polish...

    ... said post went into Lala Land. I don't mind if the mod deletes the post as mentions *deleted due to retardation* but when it mystically vanishes it's akin to someone f($%^&g your girlfriend and giving you herpes shortly thereafter. :p

    Do you remember when you wrote the post? was it today?

    It shouldn't go missing for no reason. Do you remember seeing it successfully posted?

    Excellent finish to todays stage (stage 2) : Field sprint finish and Furlan (lampre) pipped the win on the line.
    Haedo looked really strong and I thought he'd get the win but Furlan held out.

    Good coverage on Eurosport.

    Looked like a nice circuit - excellent wide open roads.

    Just goes to show Columbia are nothing without Cav and his usual sprint train. They can't get anything organised for Greipel.

    Fourth time lucky?
