[Waterloo Sunrise]

Any links for a site with checkpoint times?

Sella says he doesnt care for top 10, he wants to podium.

lol. attaboy

Katyusha don't look good. Whatever happened to Oleg Tinkoff's mad hype about 'the Russian school of TTT'?

Only 2 Russians in this Katyusha lineup, and 4 Spaniards.

Gazetta feed is brilliant!

Yep. Better than the Universal Sport coverage on the tv (non-HD).

 

[luckyboy]

my eurosport subscription ran out today........ amazing timing, I paid for it again and it still hasnt gone through yet....

Eurosport Player? I just spent 20 minutes resubscribing.

Gazetta feed is brilliant!

Don't have to worry about being enraged by the commentary either....

Go Androni!

Is it my eyesight, or are the bib-numbers unreadable?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Astana last at the 1st CP.
Stupid Kreuziger signing for a sh**y small team.

 

[cineteq]

Only 2 Russians in this Katyusha lineup, and 4 Spaniards.

Actually 3 Venezuelans and 1 Colombian.

 

[Moondance]

Who is their GC rider?

Bakelants will want a Top-20, or Top-15 if he's good... But one imagines they'll primarily be stage hunting.

 

[auscyclefan94]

lotto shouldnt be too far away from finishing.

 

[Wergeland]

Crappy coverage. This is the second biggest tour in the world of cycling and we don't even get intermediate times for all the teams. They start 4 minutes apart for c****sake.
Amateurish. Just like the Vuelta.

 

[Publicus]

Is there a website with an list of the interactive and finishing times?

 

[superconfex]

OPL smash 22 mins

 

[Jamsque]

Lotto finishes with 8 riders and a time of 21'19"

 

[auscyclefan94]

That's a good time by lotto! Androni have just topped lotto at the intermediate time check! Surpirsed!

 

[killswitch]

OPL finish with 21.21

 

[Ferminal]

Ugh, Androni only 1s ahead of OPL at the check.

 

[Califer Hill]

Not best finish for OPL there, thought they'd try for blanket finish,

 

[Moondance]

Lotto 21:21

Pretty reasonable speed. Parcours not quite as tricky as expected.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Actually 3 Venezuelans and 1 Colombian.

Are you making a joke about Katyusha and Androni's kits being indistinguishable, or did you just misread?

 

[zapata]

good start by androni

 

[Publicus]

Androni comes in fastest at intermediate check point!!!!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Sh**y small team fastest at the 1st CP.
Coppi e Bartali part 2?

 

[Jamsque]

Androni fastest at the time check! They look like they have practised this a lot.

Colnago have a nice chain-gang going too.
