It's a long time since iv'e seen Vino miss a split. Evans unlucky though

Looking forward to the Cap Frehel stage in the tour already! Yay for crosswinds

indeed crosswinds generally make for excellent stages.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Vino's hammer is striking the English speaking lot.

Coming back together

 

[just some guy]

Coming back together

NOT confused

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Coming back together

I thought it looked like in shambles.

 

[Havetts]

I doubt its gonna come back.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

1st group is flying.

 

[The Hitch]

It's a long time since iv'e seen Vino miss a split. Evans unlucky though

I thought Vino was in the front group.

 

[Havetts]

Vino is in the 1st group.

 

[kanari]

I thought Vino was in the front group.

I'm pretty sure he is.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Tjallingii does a fair Johnny Hoogerland impression.
Once again we find out how "useful" Cadel's domestique support is: non existent.

 

[Jamsque]

Trust Sky to mess up the fantastic GC position they found themselves in after yesterday.

Break caught. Who can win from this front group? Vino? I assume Garmin have someone they fancy since they have been driving the pace.

Maybe Nico Roche?

 

[markene2]

I thought Vino was in the front group.

He is, i mean he is great at avoiding splits.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I thought Vino was in the front group.

Think it was a praise

 

[spalco]

Just tuned in, peloton split I gather. Any info about the time difference?

 

[Francois the Postman]

Good to see a nice windy stage again.

 

[just some guy]

Wiggins and Evans doing a warm up for tomorrow.

20 seconds gap

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I think I might've seen Martens in the front group, he might have a dig.

 

[hrotha]

Why do the team leaders pull in situations like this but are always looking for someone else's lowly domestique to do the chasing in the mountains.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Just tuned in, peloton split I gather. Any info about the time difference?

20 seconds supposedly. Now 24".

 

[Jamsque]

Sky and BMC are running the chase, and no-one is excused from duty. Wiggins, Evans, EBH all pulling. No time gap on the coverage I'm watching, it looks around 20 or 25 seconds.

 

[Winterfold]

SKy really really need to sort out a decent road captain.

How many times in the last 18 months have they fecked up good GC positions like this?

 

[maltiv]

How hard is it to understand that crosswinds means that you shouldnt have a team meeting in the back of the peloton...

 

[Walkman]

Why do the team leaders pull in situations like this but are always looking for someone else's lowly domestique to do the chasing in the mountains.

Good question. Panic?
