That's Russ Downing. Don't know what point you're making here.

This is Dowsett's day, got a feeling in my bones.

[Gloin22]

He is talking about Downing anyway. What's the point ? Doesn't have any thing to do with Dowsett.

I guess he did, but did you read it?

 

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

Anyone know when the prologue starts? Do we have start times for anyone yet?

And how does that influence Dowsett's prologue chances exactly?

Dowsett has showed 0 so far this year, what makes today special? He's tried a few prologues and been stunningly average even for a non specialist.

For a neo-pro he's done OK. 5th at Qatar prologue, 4th at Murcia and 5th Castilla Leon. For his first year at this level he's done pretty well.

He's on form (see his performance at the London Nocturne recently) and the competition is hardly great at this race. Therefore, he should go well.

Last year he won the European U23 TT champs, was flying at the Worlds until he had a crash and mechanical.

Nah, don't think so.

Thanks youngest, but I was already aware of this. Should have probably provided it myself. Your services are much appreciated

That's what we call an absolutely redundant post

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Langeveld first right now

 

[boomcie]

Gretsch way ahead of the field at the moment. Took 10 seconds of Langeveld's time.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Decent time from Dowsett, fair cop, finally going to see some CQ points off him.

 

[boomcie]

1. Gretsch
2. Rasmussen
3. Dowsett

 

[Andy99]

What's the craic with only 4 riders starting for sky..?

 

[Gloin22]

5 riders. Cummings did not start, if he did they would had 6.

Chuffed for Dowsett. Appollonio on 12th also really good.

Oh yeah. I must learn not to trust CN start sheets!

Farrar won the stage today.

Edit: Gilbert reportedly attacked in the last 3 k's.

Pauwells now out for Sky. 4 riders left.

 

[Jamsque]

Farrar won the stage today.

Good for him! I guess he'll ride the Tour de France after all.

Are results up anywhere? I want to know how David Apples is going after the Giro.

 

[El Pistolero]

Farrar won the stage today.

Edit: Gilbert reportedly attacked in the last 3 k's.

Good, Farrar in the Tour then.
