On the other hand, Cav probably knows he has zero form, so is at least showing his face/respecting the jersey whilst he can.

Beats sitting in the bunch and just climbing off.

Eurosport just mentioned Samuel Sanchez...worth noting is he's the only Euskaltel-Azenarioak rider in the race...only WorldTour team with fewer than three riders participating.

 

[SafeBet]

Moser interviewed by RAI not looking very confident.
Apparently he got the flu after coming back from Canada and had to take antibiotics.

He didn't ride the TTT with Liquigas cause he still wasn't at his best.

I guess that makes sense. Perhaps he should have tried to get into the break

 

[Arnout]

Riders ****ing against houses and cars people will not be happy here

That's vandalism. Hope they get punished for doing that. Although the course organizer should make sure there are reasonable places to stop for a natural break too.

Yeah, Euskaltel is always poorly represented in the worlds, because they don't have the random Eastern European or Asian rider on the squad and because their current squad isn't brilliant.

BTW, for those that don't get that joke, azenarioak is Basque for "carrots"

 

[Andy99]

Interesting to hear Sean Kelly writing off the chances of anyone who rode in Canada - due to jet lag.

Rules out quite a few.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Cav just working a bit here for his team and will eventually drop out of the race.

It did....now they're all on the front.

No one is - obviously - pis*ing against cars and houses.

I always hate seeing riders say stuff like this. The flu can't be treated with antibiotics; it's a viral infection not bacterial. Either thats a mistranslation or the doctor was giving him tablets for no obvious reason.

 

[Mellow Velo]

I reckon it's one lap of the circuit, then Cav climbs off.

Yeah, i don't really understand what they're doing up there. And Sean Kelly on eurosport seems a bit bemused by it too!

That was two weeks ago. What has Kelly been smoking?

Kelly also said Contador would win the TT and Martin would not stand a chance

DblP, not about the comment yourself, but your signature is hilarious!

You might also like some of these then.

They're pretty good...I'm not British, so I'm not appreciating some of them, but the ones I do understand certainly got a chuckle out of me!

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Cavendish clearly fed up of being called a wheelsucker, he's going to try and lead all the way.

 

[vladimir]

Does anyone have a link to the official split/lap times? Could be interesting to see who is dropping off the pace once the start the Cauberg lap!

It's my mistranslation. And it wasn't Moreno saying it, it was a comment by RAI.
I don't know the exact health problem though.

The dutch and belgians screwed up by not being in the break, allthough the dutch were in every other break before the final break lol.

Luckily for them GB helps them

Dutchies have no chance today.

 

[Pulpstar]

Question is: Who is GB riding for: JTL , Froome (Outside chance) or EBH
