[Captain Sensible]

Roche maybe? But no idea what the modus was back then.

eta: Vainšteins of Latvia in 2000? (to my shame I have to admit, I've never heard that name)

Roche was in a team of 5 in 87.

 

[Pulpstar]

Flecha has monstrous stamina.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Wow Mollema returned and could easily answer the attack

I guess Mollema is not so bad as I thought

 

[Red Rick]

I think this is Gilberts to lose

 

[Netserk]

It will soon come back together me thinks

it's not raining yet!

 

[bubblegum]

small peloton

 

[Red Rick]

The Dutch really need to attack now

 

[Red Rick]

Btw, the Bemeler has never caused any kind of selection yet

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

70 man left in the peloton with most of the important names

Germans are leaving 4 man now with Martens.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Btw, the Bemeler has never caused any kind of selection yet

Ofcourse not. I told you so beforehand. I can do that climb on the outer blade.
And if I can do it on the outerblade, it can never cause a selection for the pro's

 

[Andy99]

Ben Swift looking calm. 5 riders left for GB in the front group.
JTL, Swift, Cummings, Rowe, Stannard

 

[The Sheep]

Boonen is going to win

 

[infeXio]

How hard can it be to just add a feature with distance left.

 

[bubblegum]

where was the cross wind section the dutch tried to exploit ages ago? wind's picking up now

 

[Netserk]

Boonen is going to win

No. Either Gilbert, Valverde or Sagan. IMO

 

[royalpig180]

How hard can it be to just add a feature with distance left.

I was thinking the same thing... anyone have a feed with the distance?

 

[Parrot23]

Surely Nibali, for one, can't wait till the last ascent of the Cauberg. Has to go before that. (Valverde will toast him, if he does.)

 

[Netserk]

30 km left
ten

 

[User Guide]

Sagan been sandbagging last few weeks,putting out disimformation?

 

[goggalor]

I hope Nordhaug will be free to attack, and won't have to slave for EBH. He can't force a sprint on his own anyway.

 

[Richeypen]

where was the cross wind section the dutch tried to exploit ages ago? wind's picking up now

Before they got to the circuit

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Haussler
