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

The Brit leader has the initials EBH today. Not so secret secret.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Idiot with signs

 

[SetonHallPirate]

Some genius just nearly took Cavendish's head off with what looked like a street sign.

Belgium race tactics going a bit skew whiff there

What happened

 

[Pantani_lives]

Short analysis of the situation: leading group with >5 minutes with Lastras, Cataldo, Coppel, two Americans and some smaller names.

Conclusion: Italy, Spain, France and USA won't have to work. Belgium and the Netherlands should have had someone in that leading group. Now they will probably have to work.

 

[Pulpstar]

Anyone know what the sign said ?

 

[DominicDecoco]

Why did they zoom in on that sign in replay?

 

[Pulpstar]

What happened

Gilbert had a rear puncutre or for whatever reason needed to change his rear wheel. One of his teammates dropped back to pull him back to the peloton, Gilbert drafted the team car and sailed past him and then his teammate was struggling to get a car to draft

Anyone know what the sign said ?

The last word was "Maastricht"

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Why did they zoom in on that sign in replay?

The coded messages for the dutchbteam

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Anyone know what the sign said ?

Something about Motorhomes I think?

 

[DominicDecoco]

The coded messages for the dutchbteam

Cheaters.

[TheEnoculator]

Are you saying they are full of hot air?

Haha, I walked into that one, didn't I?

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Yes it was saying ten dam has the engine of a motor home. Tho has leaky exhaust.

 

[ILovecycling]

You don't consider Australia as a major country that will have to chase as well?

[Pulpstar]

Probably Geo-restricted if you head to the BBC website

It seems that Contador isnt with the peloton, any news?

Edit: It's corrected, he was 36th on the finish line

I saw him near the front on the Cauberg.

Yes...time to make an eyedoctor appointment, at least according to Tissot timing. He's there.
