#EuskatelFail

Anton takes a bit of a hit.

 

[Francois the Postman]

LOL. I was in the wrong thread.

I was kinda wondering where all you guys were

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

sean kelly says not sure about Conti's chances because hes not sure of the support Conti will get. But if Conti is in really good form he wont need too much help from his team. I could be wrong on that

 

[Mellow Velo]

Awful CP from Goex.
Anton concedes a lot of time over 19km.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Goex...very bad!

not surprising!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Antón isn't going for the GC anyway. Euskaltel were always going to lose major time in a TTT, especially given that the team doesn't include their best TT guys.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

oh swell... there goes the feed

Thats Brian Smith not Sean Kelly, think hes basing that on the fact that Contador has a Giro helmet on.

 

[auscyclefan94]

go bmc!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Publicus]

New best time?

EDIT: Nope.

 

[killswitch]

BMC also started half a second earlier

 

[superconfex]

Rabo cop 2nd best time

 

[Ferminal]

Euskaltel straggler beats Rabo home.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rabobank fails

Now the stupid Renaat Schotte will get arrogant again about how great Omega is


**** you Renaat

 

[The Hitch]

Ha OPL beat Rabo.

Belgians beat Dutchies

 

[Moondance]

Lotto 21:21
Rabobank 21:25
Androni 21:38
Astana 21:49
Colnago 22:01
Katusha 22:03
Acqua-Sapone 22:06
Euskatel 22:11

Very well done by Lotto, beating Rabo who brought a TTing type of squad.

 

[auscyclefan94]

rabo just missed out on lotto's time. they were ahead at 1st check.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Lotto kick Rabo ****.
Cue some Dutch Belgian bashing!

 

[luckyboy]

Haha was that a Euskaltel rider?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ha OPL beat Rabo.

Belgians beat Dutchies

It's torture listening this on VRT

Renaat Schotte and Karl Vannieuwkerke are quite possibly the biggest chauvinists alive. Even bigger than ACF

 

[auscyclefan94]

Saxo really have quite a good squad for this. They should do well!

 

[UpTheRoad]

EE finished with six and one straggler a few seconds behind. The other two are lost (I am giving them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't crash).



/ Actually, I like the team.

// One of the lost has been found, finishing just ahead of the Rabobank crew.
