Eisel did the lead-out because, as this tweet shows, he really, really likes the intermediate sprints

Chav is gone ?

Just off the end of the peloton afaik

 

[Ferminal]

Chav is gone ?

Think he's been yo-yo'ing, seen him at the back a few times.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

The gap is going down quite fast now. If they catch them too early, that could set up new attacks on the last hills.

 

[Ferminal]

Hoogerland will try and get free and go solo for 70km on this climb.

Astana near the front. Vino having a go today? He'll have to do something in the next few stages if he wants that jersey

 

[Publicus]

^^^Think it is just the wind. No one wants to get caught out in a split.

 

[No_Balls]

Canc looks like a medic

 

[thrawn]

Gesink changes his bike again.

 

[Ferminal]

Bobby drops his bike...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Bike change Gesink

For crying out loud

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

For the most part Astana has kept Vino the front 20 the entire race once the break has been established.

BMC Leopard, and Astana have done the best job keeping their guys upfront

I think Vino has realised that to get yellow he pretty much has to win the Tour

So that's what he'll do

Gesink makes Vande Velde look like a bike handling whiz...

 

[just some guy]

Eurosport - Gesink has been know to be a bit fragile in the head

 

[gerrans for the win]

Gesink didn't look sore getting off the bike,

yeah because a mechanical is a real indication of bike handling.

Great insight pal

Paul made that same observation. Commentators can be ba$tards some times.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Gesink didn't look sore getting off the bike,

no he looked not bad I thought, and looked good when he got back on.

but he sure looked annoyed.

I love the lack of noting sarcasm. The dude falls off all the time. They're both klutzes.

 

[Jamsque]

The gap is disintegrating here.

that's the biggest bullsh*t ever

if anything Gesink is mentally incredibly strong. That's his biggest power

I realized the sarcasm, but your post was pointless.

That is what an incredible bike handler like Frank Schleck would have done
