Used to be 25kms from here to the RAF. This year it's 16 and they added the Sprimont inbetween

Re: Re:

lackluster redoute

The crash changed things totally.

The Tommy V's of this world are still there, so if they want sth, they got to attack... Nibbles will have to go soon too, if not he send his guys of the front for nothing

 

[burning]

I have a feeling that Balaverde will take this solo

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kelderman returned after that fall, but is in the rear

 

[LPP68!]

Rain at the finish according to the commentators in Belgium!

 

[BigMac]

Many technical problems today, broadcasting fail.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Betancurt sighting!

Nibali was held up by the crash and started the climb at the back so if he had plans to attack they were undone.
Lots of riders had teammates crash and riders would have been trying to work out what had happened.
Attacks will happen but the crash lowered the likely of it happening on Redoute considerably.

 

[Netserk]

So will Nibali attack on Roche aux Faucons, the uphill part just after it or on the descent?

 

[Red Rick]

Likely inbetween

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Simon Clarke will almost certainly attack at some stage.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Katusha has some serious fire power left. Valverde might get under some pressure soon.

 

[Red Rick]

Waiting for the likes of Pozzo to go on the Roche

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Betancurt and Wellens dropped

 

[Asero831]

where are the trains? This must really be a tough race

 

[GuyIncognito]

Wellens gone

 

[Yingge]

Seemed all quiet at the Mery pub this year.

 

[Bushman]

Betancur only just dropped alongside Wellens. He is improving, at this rate he might be in for the Vuelta.

 

[Asero831]

clarke not looking good

 

[Velolover2]

What is Nibali waiting for?

 

[Red Rick]

Kreuzigerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Miburo]

Finally gj kreuziger, nibali should follow.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Thank you Kreuziger, at least something happens

 

[Bushman]

Waiting, waiting, waiting...

Kreuziger goes, Caruso with him I think
