Mollema did his share of chasing for Cunego as well. But still, compared to Leopard Rabo looked like rocket scientists.

that was an attack attempt

 

[goggalor]

No, he was a chasing a Leopard rider. I think it was Fuglsang.

 

[theyoungest]

Seriously, Leopard, what the f**k are your tactics all about?

Anyway, Kruijswijk deserves the podium in this race, I hope his TT suffices.

 

[YoRUsh]

not the point. This had more to do with silly tactics then Cunego himself.

Hence the smiley in my post...

 

[boomcie]

Andy looking uncomfortable on the podium. I guess he's a little ashamed of himself.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

No, he was a chasing a Leopard rider. I think it was Fuglsang.

dude it's called counter attack, he wasn't pacing the group, he tried to follow.
He didn't do well I'll concede.

 

[Mellow Velo]

DT called it: TEAM *** TREK.
Still, at least they confused Levi into riding on the front.

Shows that the silly season is almost upon us.

indeed would rather see him on there then Mollema.

Blasphemy!!!!!

 

[Descender]

Andy Schleck took the astounding amount of 13 seconds off JJ Rojas during the climb.

Sure, but the smart thing to do would've been to let Cunego try and follow. And then attacked once Cunego brought the group back.

The only attacks cunego needed to follow were from the rabo's and Levi.

 

[hfer07]

embarrassing LeoTard is suffering from Riis-less

 

[auscyclefan94]

Can Fuglsang actually time trial?

Anyone have the gc?

 

[jobiwan]

General classification:

1 Damiano Cunego (Ita) Lampre-ISD
2 Bauke Mollema (Ned) Rabobank 00:01:23
3 Steven Kruijswijk (Ned) Rabobank 00:01:36
4 Frank Schleck (Lux) Leopard Trek 00:01:41
5 Levi Leipheimer (USA) RadioShack 00:01:59
6 Jakob Fuglsang (Den) Leopard Trek 00:02:38
7 Mathias Frank (Swi) BMC Racing Team 00:03:10
8 Laurens Ten Dam (Ned) Rabobank
9 Giampaolo Caruso (Ita) Katusha 00:03:11
10 Tejay Van Garderen (USA) HTC-Highroad 00:03:22

So no changes really.

Can Fuglsang actually time trial?

Yes, Fuglsang is a good time trialist.

within the last km or two that sort of tactics is out of the door tho.
Especially on those weak gradients.

also what acf said.
Frank schleck attacking also threatens Mollema's 2nd place.

Matthias Frank willl need a good tt to hold a top 10 on gc.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

top 6 will be the same riders, probably different order.

 

[Flamin]

Museeuw is a little over-euphoric. He says he can see De Gendt winning Ronde van Vlaanderen one day Something like Omloop would do just fine for him in one-day races I guess.

 

[hfer07]

Andy Schleck took the astounding amount of 13 seconds off JJ Rojas during the climb.

LOL you just made my day

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

nothing wrong with ambition.

But I'm not so sure if De Gendt wouldn't suit the ardennes more.

he is an exciting rider anyway

 

[The Sheep]

indeed would rather see him on there then Mollema.

even leipheimer showed more

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

I think TJ van Garderen can TT pretty well so I don't think he will drop out of the top 10, and could even move up.

 

[maltiv]

I think TJ van Garderen can TT pretty well so I don't think he will drop out of the top 10, and could even move up.

Uhh. He's the 2nd best TTer in the top 10, only Leipheimer is slightly better. He will move up for sure, possibly to around 5th or so.
