Sleet shower at the finish!

 

[Barrus]

Thank goodness, strangely the website still says the wrong time, otherwise off to Norwegian tv

 

[MartinGT]

Sleet shower at the finish!

Oh someone best get AS a hot water bottle and his blanket!

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Ruben Perez in another break, he's not giving up is he?

 

[El Pistolero]

Thank goodness, strangely the website still says the wrong time, otherwise off to Norwegian tv

Yeah, teletext saying 14.15

 

[Barrus]

most interesting in this break, 2 BMC guys, 1 Leotard and more importantly Sammie, the hero of us all 2 Euskaltel

 

[auscyclefan94]

Well, Bookwalter isn't going to be much help on a parcours like we have today.
BTW any live streams up yet?

Bookwalter ain't that bad on the climbs.

Depends how hard the early pace is and if BMC have one in the break'

if the pace in on maybe but not likely unless they ride above themselves

Keep under estimating the BMC Teamies!

Planket, not blanket!

 

[MartinGT]

Planket, not blanket!

Hehe

Poor Andy

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I heard that Johnny H. is the 16th man

edit:confirmed now

 

[auscyclefan94]

Schlecks will have to start the action early imo. They can't wait.

 

[miha1234]

Is there any live streem jet?

Thanks!

 

[SarahDane]

Why did someone say Vandborg (saxobank) was in the break? He's not.

 

[Publicus]

Saxo, you fail!

I started thinking that and then I realized, it doesn't matter. Saxo doesn't need to panic. No one in the break is a threat to AC and Leopard-Trek still needs to animate the race, which judging by their decision to put two riders in the break, means they intend to do so.

So all they need to do is sit in, marshall their forces and be prepared to cover the moves. Tranquilo.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Is there any live streem jet?

Thanks!

no not until at least 13:00 and probably 13:30

 

[auscyclefan94]

I don't think I've ever seen or heard so much coverage on the tour de france today in Australia

 

[Publicus]

Bookwalter ain't that bad on the climbs.


Keep under estimating the BMC Teamies!

He ain't that great either.

Burghardt (BMC), Mickael Delage (FDJ) and Egor Silin (Katusha) are chasing the 16-man break
