Dutch broadcasting, wierdly enough, has been awful this time. With little attention of the Junior and U23 races and with lack of any race information.

Same company that messed up the olympis?

Same company that messed up the olympis?

yep. NOS......

 

[Netserk]

Italy and Spain are doing a fine job at making this race tough.

 

[thirteen]

yep. NOS......

[Netserk]

Why is Meersman taking pulls?

 

[superconfex]

The information on screen during world championships is always handled by UCI itself. It was the same **** with Copenhagen last year.

The broadcast is something else.

 

[T-Nielsen]

yep. NOS......

Tell me thats not so. Tell me that the lovable competent dutch have not been pushed aside.

Why is Meersman taking pulls?

Being greedy

He is the best sprinter of the breakaway group.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

meersman always rides for himself

Excellent. In-fighting amongst the Belgians.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Contador attacks with Slagter and some Belgians

 

[hrotha]

What I don't understand is why Belgium is working behind. Meersman should be one of the top favourites in that group. Australia will be very happy with the break having Matthews there, and Nocentini is a good card for Italy given the competition and the options they have behind. The break doesn't work for Spain, Netherlands and possibly France.

 

[Red Rick]

Guess Contador isn't as good as he wanted

 

[Netserk]

CONTADOR ATTACK!!

 

[Miburo]

Contador is cracking jokes it seems lol

 

[Andy99]

Meanwhile, JTL looks relaxed.

And what more, the race is going to be way too hard for Boonen, so they should focus on Gilbert.

French not Belgians... and its over

because gilbert is a way bigger favorite in one big peloton and the final cauberg to go, also they aren't riding full
