Gilbert Wins. Now to see the time gaps on the line.

 

[The Hitch]

Oh thats just great.

2 riders can finish together but one is given a free minute because the spectator that knocked them over did so in at a different point in the race.

 

[spalco]

Gilbert by a km. Disappointing.

 

[Epicycle]

Are there bonus seconds?

 

[Boleyn]

Gilbert and then Evans!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

1. Gilbert
2. Evans
3. Hushovd

[luckyboy]

Yeay Gilbert

Oh thats just great.

Yep

 

[franciep10]

where was schleck I haven't seen him

Edit: there he is

 

[Ramira]

Why on earth isn't Contador sprinting to the finish line? He's leaving an easy 10 seconds here. Also it's going to be 1 min 20 might well be 2 minutes after tomorrow.

 

[Publicus]

It looked like Andy's in the same group as Contador, but they are saying Andy was maybe caught in the second crash which was within 3Km

 

[Bavarianrider]

Tony up there with the favs.

Evans peaks too early imo

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Superb performance from Evans. Chapeau! Well done you old fart!

 

[Michielveedeebee]

VdB taking time already grande phil!

 

[phanatic]

Evans laying down the hammer early. No chance to win unfortunately.
