just to get a overview.

 

[airstream]

one guy from Australia is also in the group.

Contador and voeckler are not riding, same with gesink.

Other guy from the dutch should ride though

have you alongside with contador already decided whom the victory will be solemnly presented?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gilbert, Rodriguez, Uran, Sagan!

Things seriously heating up

 

[bubblegum]

aussies caught napping!

 

[hrotha]

Was that a painting on the road dedicated to D_T?

 

[User Guide]

good for the break if you ask me

 

[the asian]

Was Sagan able to respond to Uran?

 

[Gloin22]

Uran looking very good so far.

 

[meat puppet]

this is excellent!

but i wonder if the peloton is panicking a bit too early? there's plenty of time to catch them. or was the acceleration just leg stretching?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Now Germany working as well.

That doesn't look good for the front group. Too many teams

 

[Bushman]

This is why I love the WC. Very good race.

 

[DominicDecoco]

This race can f*** off with lack of time information.

 

[Falken]

Sagan looked very explosive when he followed Uran with ease.

 

[thirteen]

where's Tommy's tongue?

 

[Andy99]

This race can f*** off with lack of time information.

Yeah. Ridiculous.

 

[goggalor]

Peloton coming back a little, 40" apparently. Gilbert and co. will bridge on the Cauberg I bet, unless the team leaders in the break start riding.

Yep, many teams riding now. Australia, Germany, Belgium...

 

[bubblegum]

This race can f*** off with lack of time information.

can people please repost any twitter obtained time gaps?

 

[hfer07]

sh!t is happening- the breakaway will get caught & sh!t is gonna get ever harder-damn- is everyone's race !!!!

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Sagan looked very explosive when he followed Uran with ease.

Didn't he win 2 uphill sprint at TdF? He's much more explosive than Uran.

 

[Red Rick]

Yep, many teams riding now. Australia, Germany, Belgium...

I get why they are riding, but Degenkolb is just not gonna happen

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Didn't he win 2 uphill sprint at TdF? He's much more explosive than Uran.

Liquigas man said Sagan hasn't trained properly since TdF - on the Rai 1 hour back.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

42 seconds now.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Difference 42 seconds

Next Cauberg it could come back together. Or some group could bridge
