Excellent, thx a million

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

Cav for Boonen

 

[Pulpstar]

Isn't is a little dangerous letting Cav drive the peloton (FOr the favourites in the peloton) ? Isn't his sustained power absolubtely shockingly bad ?

JTL and Cummings are protected according to David Millar who is commentating on BBC.

Froome doesn't have a chance in hell, not even an outside one.

But a hard race could suit some other sky riders like Uran and Nordhaug.

No. As a pursuiter he is actually very good.

Well, Froome said he will pull out after 200km, he'll do work at the front and pull out like in last year's Worlds anyway...

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.

I suspect that the translation is probably accurate. You hear it all the time.

I work in a medical field so people asking for antibiotics for the flu is a bug bear of mine

Anyone know how 'long' one of the laps is at say 40 km/hr ? Edit wait 16/40 = 4/10 of an hour = 24 minutes ^^

[Netserk]

Who is in the break?

 

[SetonHallPirate]

At 40 km an hour, it would take 24 minutes per lap.

 

[Falken]

Circuit up in 15k.

 

[hrotha]

GBR is stupid to take resonpisibility. Plan A strikes again.

Nordhaug is leaving Sky, so it won't be him

They have no chance to win this anyway...

Better show something in race then show nothing for christ ...

 

[SetonHallPirate]

Elchin Asadov (Azerbaijan) becomes the first rider to abandon.

 

[Netserk]

Who is in the break?

never mind I found out:

Pablo Lastras (Spain), Dario Cataldo (Italy), Timothy Duggan (USA), Alex Howes (USA), Jerome Coppel (France), Winner Anacona (Colombia), Luka Mezgec (Slovenia), Vladimir Isaichev (Russia), Vitaliy Buts (Ukraine), Fabricio Ferrari (Uruguay), Gatis Smukulis (Latvia)

 

[Andy99]

Dutch showing themselves briefly now.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Dutch team trying to form an Echelon?

Then get in the break. If you failed to do it, let other teams who are willing to take responsibility because they have actual contenders or are in their home turf do the work. There'll be other chances, when the mid-race groups start getting away.

I don't think this counts as "showing something in the race" by the way. Everyone can get themselves in the front and pull for no particular reason.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yes. Dutch team trying to from echelons

 

[Pulpstar]

Dutchies know when a crosswind is coming xD
