Wait, what? What for?

Team GC. ahskjdhfkahwoirhgadsfg

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Wait, what? What for?

Stopping De Weert from overtaking Danielson.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Tyler Farrar looks pained as be loses Cav's back wheel and gets dropped on the climb!

 

[therhodeo]

I'm listening to Wuyts and De Cauwer and they are 100x better again

I could listen to them but I wouldn't have any idea whats going on. Which basically puts them on the level of Versus.

 

[Carl0880]

Wait, what? What for?

Actually its more Roche and and De Weert. De Weert because of his GC to Danielson, and Roche because AG2r are only 10 minutes back in the team classification. That is what I am presuming. Also I imagine with 3 Vacansoleil members, figuring 2 of them will ride 100% for whoever is the strongest.

to defend the team lead

 

[therhodeo]

good, like most euskaltel riders

Should I laugh in front of you or did you even realize you'd made a joke?

 

[hoolaparara]

Hell of a lot of buildings in Sestriere for a population of 886!

 

[Dedelou]

Stopping De Weert from overtaking Danielson.

Ah, ok, I guess that makes sense regarding the Vacansoleil factor.

euskaltel riders are strong downhillers like most basks.

What's a bask?

I thought that other then Sanchez, Euskaltel riders are most known for falling off their bikes on downhills. Or flats and uphills too for that matter.

I don't know why anybody would take your opinions about the descending abilities of anyone seriously after yesterday.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Mollema has dissapeared from the lead group.
Weird

 

[RdBiker]

Perez should have over 9 min at the bottom of the last climb. That should be enough over the peloton, maybe not enough over the chasers.

 

[The Hitch]

Wow that town on sestrieres looks AWESOME.

falling of your bike on downhil doesn't mean you are bad downhiller, just look at ogrady, but euskaltel riders don't crash much in downhil. txurruka is exception but he's still pretty good downhiller

 

[Carl0880]

What's a bask?

HE is referring to the Basque country, which is where Euskatel is from. Basque is the northern mountainous region of Spain, they consider themselves seperate from SPain .

that was last week.. This week they are better

 

[Tuarts]

He's letting De Weert do the work since he joined the attack. Pretty standard tactics.

Oh, so he's not working, thought I saw him on the front. Good ticket ride for him if De Weert is dragging him to the break.

Edit: lol Hoogie descinding skills giving AS' skills company

flatted according to the ticker

But I've just watched him nearly hit 2 walls and just take horrible lines in general.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Perez Moreno is still gaining time.. 1'20

LOL
