[Maxiton]

And to make matters worse, I'm going to have to leave for work before the sprint.

just came in... who went boom?

 

[Nielsa]

Walt Pool, van Avermaet, don't know who from QST.

 

[icefire]

Crosswinds! Yay!

 

[Fetisoff]

Split in the peloton? Was anyone watching, who's stuck behind, any GC guys?

I see carrots chacing

 

[Mellow Velo]

Greg VA, Cataldo and Wout Poels on the deck. Quick bike swop for Poels

3 Shack riders off the back.

Sky put the hammer down.

 

[icefire]

Sky pushing the pace in the cross wind!

 

[max_powers]

Garmin forcing pace, split peloton in the wind nicely

 

[thirteen]

thanks, guys.

 

[Machu Picchu]

[luckyboy]

Did somebody big crash seeing as Sky are suddenly hammering it?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Possible big break.
Lotto join in the fun!
Machado 1st definite casualty

 

[canyonball]

[TeoSheva]

let's rock finally

Lol. Crosswinds. Definitely big splits in the field.

 

[TeoSheva]

1 min gap who is behind???

 

[canyonball]

As much as I enjoy the scenery, the Heli could give us a sense of the gaps beetween groups. Things seem to be calming down, though.

 

[icefire]

Machado, Kash and Sivtsov are behind the main group

 

[Mellow Velo]

All tranquillo again. Oh well.

 

[Poursuivant]

Was worth a try from sky. Two big days coming Wiggins needs all the time he can get.

 

[Parrulo]

did machado make it back?

the peloton looks calm atm but i haven't spotted him at the back of the pack

 

[canyonball]

Machado is back

 

[Poursuivant]

Sky still at the front-ish. May still fancy a dig here.

 

[Gloin22]

Sky still at the front-ish. May still fancy a dig here.

Working for Sutton rather ?

 

[Parrulo]

Machado is back

cool

the guy really needs to learn how to position himself . . . he is always at the back. the moment i saw the split i knew he had been caught.
