[Pulpstar]

Monster crash

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Duarte and Rubiano also held up

 

[T-Nielsen]

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)

I want to say he had a mullet ???

 

[meat puppet]

Four ICT-aliens chasing
behind the bunch

fixed that for you.

on other news, the front group did not lose but gained time, though slightly. gonna get interesting.

when will the belgians lose their nerve?

 

[goggalor]

No catch on Cauberg after all. Peloton slowed down again. But I have the feeling there are quite a few in the second group who could easily bridge if they wanted to. They just need to do it before the likes of Contador start riding.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Breakaway group running out of workers. Just Coppel and Flecha left.

 

[Kwibus]

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

Ofcourse I'm overreacting yes. Just 2 riders still in the bunch and not the ones I expect in the final.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ofcourse I'm overreacting yes. Just 2 riders still in the bunch and not the ones I expect in the final.

I only expect Terpstra who is missing atm. I don't think much of Mollema at the moment. And I think Slagter could suprise you. So yeah, you're overreacting

 

[TourOfSardinia]

only two men pulling on the break - which is being caught be
the second group 30 odds seconds now.

 

[sultanofhyd]

Why is Contador sitting at the back?

 

[JibberJim]

Why is Contador sitting at the back?

'cos the break will not stay away. Cummings is a bit more surprising though - you'd've thought GB should contribute now...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Front group
Peloton +33
Terpstra +51
Mollema/CA Sorensen +1m07

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Why is Contador sitting at the back?

he's got a Spaniard (Felcha) on the front - so he doesn't need to work.
Why doesn't JTL put Cummings to do the same?

 

[meat puppet]

Why is Contador sitting at the back?

suffering obviously.

think they're gonna get caught

 

[wirral]

Too soon maybe, 40 km to go.

 

[Bushman]

gustav larsson attacks

 

[iZnoGouD]

how many km left

 

[Red Rick]

It's all coming back together

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The front group is almost caught. We're in for a new race

 

[Kazistuta]

Contador should go now! (Spain has several cards to play, so no need to withhold for the finish)

 

[TourOfSardinia]

The front group is almost caught. We're in for a new race

Valverde to attack next?

 

[Netserk]

When they hit the Cauberg a new selection will be made.

 

[Falken]

Nibali time?

 

[Netserk]

Valverde to attack next?

Piti will wheelsuck untill the last 200 meters

 

[Red Rick]

TGBM is back in the bunch, all hail him as the new World Champion
