Ahhhhh! Thank you so much!

again, an FYI... there have been a few glitches in the broadcast (i'm watching on TV)... the weather sometimes does that.

Little teams can't expect too much attention.

EDIT: Hey, F3 are showing an interview with Amael Moinard. Happy now?

Little teams?

Seeing Amael made me happy even though I had no clue what he said.

It's easy to say afterwards, but I was thinking the same when they signed him.

It never felt like he could exceed what he achieved at Caisse.

Meh, I'd rather they keep bringing in young talents from the feeder squad.

Eurosport coverage apparently starts in 15 minutes here, and only lasts 45 minutes. Does that sound right? Haven't been paying attention.

I don't see how it was such a terrible signing at the time. Guy was owning most of last season.

Basically it was about him working for Evans in the Tour, and how everyone at BMC was focused on getting your love the victory there.

Who's on for the mountain jersey?

I'm surprised we haven't seen 2nd tier riders making a flyer at the first kilo.

Sébastien Hinault

And there have been a few who have tried. Samuel Dumoulin rode a road bike and went full bore up the climb, but came up short.

That's good. We don't want anyone on BMC who looks to sabotage the plans of Cadel. We can't have people like Coucke or Van den Broeck.

Watching France 3 on tv. Mucky weather.

Have you lived in Saint jean de Maurienne? Looks like a nice place.

 

[auscyclefan94]

van summeren has got the best km time I think.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Times speeding up again, hopefully the weather holds and we can see some big guns have a proper run.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Gesink is off.

 

[Kwibus]

They keep on yelling to Gesink that he has to keep on looking forward.

He looks down to much. Not good for the aerodynamics.

weather clearing just in time for Wiggins.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Gesink is really thraaashing the bike!

 

[Moondance]

Not bad by Gesink.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

+6 secs.
not bad.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Gesink is off.

within 6 seconds of the lead - Cyril in trouble

 

[auscyclefan94]

Gesink's cornering was great. He was flying!

 

[Kwibus]

Gesink same time as Tjallingi and Flecha. 6:34, not bad I'd say.

 

[Moondance]

Westra should be off soon.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Gesink's cornering was great. He was flying!

Stage 3 is the real test. nervous.
