Lame peloton is lame

 

[Frosty]

That was Westra, not Poels

Difficult to remember which is which out of those minor place chasers

 

[whittashau]

Eurosport is on now

 

[Frosty]

Calm before the storm?

Lame peloton is lame

Well it's the first really hot day of the Giro, about 30°C on the road

 

[DominicDecoco]

Just gave Romain a call. He agreed to give me my money back. I called him weak - he agreed on that as well.

 

[PedalCastro]

Is he?!? Wasn't he top 10 yesterday?..

Finished 12 minutes down

 

[Fetisoff]

Just saw Hushovd has abandoned, what an absolute disaster his season has been. So bad it almost makes you wonder if he's done as a pro cyclist.

Let's wait till the TDF

I can't believe the pelo is going so slow, they must be confidant they can catch

 

[Pippo_San]

I can't believe the pelo is going so slow, they must be confidant they can catch

I don't think the top teams are so interested in catching them...they just want to keep the gap in control

 

[Kwibus]

Well I'm getting less confident every minute they lose.

 

[Fetisoff]

Well, a lot of the top contender teams don't care about losing time to this sort of break-away, plus most of them are represented in the break anyway. Sort of curious Garmin aren't doing any chasing though

Nah, it was just a fail on your part.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Probably because Navardauskas was dropped on the last climb, so if the tempo is too high he'll probably get dropped again.

Vaughters got flashbacks from Paris-Roubaix? "Do not ride. Sprint for whatever-place"

Well, isn't Roberts under a minute down on GC? Even if they drop Navardauskas, Hesjedal will be in pink.

lol, yeah. That must be it


OUCH. Vacansofail

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Matthew Goss at the back of the peloton...

 

[Pippo_San]

LOL @ Scinto, DS of Farnese Vini...he's angry as hell against the other teams

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Well, isn't Roberts under a minute down on GC? Even if they drop Navardauskas, Hesjedal will be in pink.

Oh yeah, that's true of course.

 

[insideout leadout]

Talk about monster hill. J-Rod should show Basso some magic just to tease him.

Would be fun to see but we're not gonna see any J-Rod today, I think. Not before tomorrow's stage which he can certainly show some fireworks at

I Think you mean Flanders

 

[Fetisoff]

Those watching with sound on - any idea which of the sprinters still left in the bunch?

Well Bennati should be there for sure

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Bennati was right at the back over that last climb
