Anthony getting a free ride from the Shack/Gobernacion express.

Yep, this has shattered on that last climb.

Garmin, BMC, and Mancebo chasing the front 5. Two TTTs to the finish.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Levi must have attacked much earlier on the climb than what we saw to pull out a gap like that.

Or maybe Radioshack splintered the group with hard work.

We don't know thanks to the lousy coverage

 

[jobiwan]

Tracker says Henao is in both the peloton AND the chase group!!

Only 20 seconds now to TJVG/Garmin/Mancebo group!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Levi looks strong. Anthony trying to hang on.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

It's 20 seconds not 1'25
Nice going liveticker

 

[jens_attacks]

i don't even think that it was 1;20 gap there.they are not far behind

 

[jobiwan]

Reminds me of the Tour stage to Pinerolo.
Camera's only on Sanchez and Contador. No idea where the Schlecks and Evans are, and at the finish - BOOM! They're all together.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Gobernacion has played this well.
Acevedo is right behind in the chase getting a free ride.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Now is the time for the rest to pull a Levi and suck hard on the back.
Make Brajkovic shoot his load early and put Bottle into panic mode.
Gobernacion holding the cards.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Cars are not allowed between the two groups, so my guess is less than 30 seconds separate them.

What do you think Chase #1 + 20s
means?

 

[Escarabajo]

Is Mancebo doing all the work???

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Two spidertech guys in the chase. Sutherland nowhere to be seen.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

What do you think Chase #1 + 20s
means?

Yeah, but I'm not trusting that GPS thing too much by now.

 

[LaFleur]

I bet a bigger group will soon arrive in the picture as well, the climb started with long over 100 riders in the group and they can't be far away.

 

[Escarabajo]

Who are the guys in the blue train chasing??

 

[jobiwan]

Louder's in that second group. TJVG and Tommy D is the Garmin guy I think.

Peloton is given at +1'45 so I wouldn't count on that

 

[jobiwan]

42 SECONDS is the gap, according to tracker. Shack and Gobernacion are extending the lead!!

Well it's 30km to go and 5men vs the peloton?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Well it's 30km to go and 5men vs the peloton?

And you honoustly believe it's still a full strength peloton.
Funny guy.

Wanna make a bet the peloton doesn't come close to returning?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

42 seconds. Wow. Those 5 are flying.

 

[Escarabajo]

42 SECONDS is the gap, according to tracker. Shack and Gobernacion are extending the lead!!

Because they are making Mancebo (1 guy) do most of the work!
