[Kwibus]

Great race so far. Let's hope this will continue.

 

[Falken]

Positioning will be crucial now.

Perfect race for Voeckler so far, he will be dangerous today.

[spalco]

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)

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Juraj Sagan. Not Peter

Ah... thanks for clearing that up. Looking forward to what he can do in this race.

 

[the asian]

it's the duchies again. Trepstra caught up.

 

[Netserk]

Four Italiens chasing
behind the bunch

 

[luckyboy]

Vainsteins wouldn't have had many on his team surely?

 

[Kwibus]

Looks like the entire dutch team behind now, with the exception of the 2 in the first group.

Noticed Terpstra being pulled by Lindeman and Kroon and I think Mollema was waaaaay behind.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Fallen/behind

Terpstra/Kroon/Mollema
Hesjedal
Konig
Brajkovic
Horner
Martens
CA Sorensen
Kiryenka

Most important riders in front
Kwibus ofcourse overreacting again. Boom/Slagter are still in front. Mollema/Terpstra the only 'leaders' of the Dutch team who are behind

 

[Sylvester]

Terpstra, Sorensen, Hesjedal, Amador, Frank, Bole, Martens, Mollema, Van Garderen, Zaugg, Kiriyenka, Duarte caught up.

 

[TourOfSardinia]
