[Dekker_Tifosi]

Bos is riding Roubaix, maybe he can throw Boonen in the barriers, or am i just hoping too much now

 

[craig1985]

Greipel wanted some easy victories.

 

[Ferminal]

Greipel wanted some easy victories.

Yes, in some sh1tty races.

 

[TRDean]

Should be a great race...Look for Cornu to show well in the short prologue tomorrow...well, at least I hope he does

 

[blaxland]

S.Modolo should win a stage in this race...................good start to the season...

 

[Mellow Velo]

They have a really excellent site. All the maps and profiles download quickly and easily:

All live coverage is in full HD, so there should be a decent net feed picture, somewhere.
A good race for the Aussies, as the stage finishes are an hour or so earlier than European ones.

No uphill finishes, other than today's prologue, but stage 5 heads into the high mountains.(1800m/+6000ft)

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Impressive prologue by Greipel

Beating the likes of Taaramae, Grabsch, Rabon etc.
Well done by Van Garderen also

 

[Bala Verde]

The Belgians are doing the Tour of Turkey as well, in anticipation of PR I presume:

[undencem]

Tomorrow riders go from Kusadası to Turgutreis 182km . Sunny , flat terrain ,nice stage for sprinters

 

[Jamsque]

Do we expect streams for this at some point? I can't see anything on steephill or cyclingfans.

Latest post from the official twitter: After 35km, Caccia (ISD), Kern (Cofidis), Schwab (Vorarlberg) Marczyinski (CCC Polsat) have 5:15 lead

for me the stream was not smooth yesterday

 

[Lyds97]

Showing highlights of the prologue and then live from today's stage on Eurosport, not sure if there's an internet feed.

According to Dave Harmon, the guys from the Turkey National Team had to be given the last start times yesterday because some of them had to go into school for an exam

 

[Mellow Velo]

Oh wow! The Turkish coast in glorious HD!

Just waiting for live pics. Harmon and Maggie B ( a bonus) are on, so there should be a live feed amongst this lot. If not, now, soon.

Today's stage:



67kms to go......

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

All together now, a bit too soon. News attacks will come (42 to go).

 

[Jamsque]

Catch made a long way out, still 40km to go. It looks a bit cross-windy out there though, the pack is pretty strung out.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Nice last few kms!
Visconti goes again...........

 

[ak-zaaf]

Nice last few kms!
Visconti goes again...........

Still ended with Greipel. =/
Was exciting to watch with all the attacks.

 

[Anquetil]

What a race from HTC ! They controled the race all day and even the last attacks didn't bathered them. They diserve the win today.

Renshaw is coming back. But his lead was not fatastic : a liquigas got betwen him and Greipel. He still has to work if he wants to lead Cav' perfectly...

 

[TRDean]

Any Skil boys in the sprint??

Any Skil boys in the sprint??

The had 3 guys up there in the last straight line to launch Hummel, but they all lost touch and not one of them finished top-10. It was truly pathetic. Sorry

Thanks...I think...sorry for van Hummel. I think he is a very good sprinter...with a weak team...maybe I am just jaded eh?
