2012 Tirreno -Adriatico, Stage 3:Indicatore (Ar) - Terni: 178 km

[Boardslide]

How many km left?

34km to go Savini at 37secs

No, main objective will still be the Ronde I think. Then the Ardennes, as a kind of experiment.

Boom had the Boonen crash in the Omloop, only time I've noticed him this season. He has had three race days or so.

You are right. He's aiming for Flanders as well.

A couple of months ago he just metioned Amstel and LBL as the objectives. But just read a new article saying that MSR and Flanders are on the calender as well - as they should be.

Thanks...

Looks like T-A, P-N and biathlon all about to end at the same time

PA has a 5k advantage, well see if they can keep it too the finish...

A good day of sports for sure though. I plan on scooting right from these races to the world indoor track and field championships, and then the NCAA indoor champs. Cap off the day with the college basketball

For me it's also last day in the office till I go away for two weeks, so I got a lot of **** to clean up...

Well, looks like it's gonna be a late Friday night in the office for me

Crash!!

[Froome19]

Yeah, more like an improved Degenkolb. Best at slightly uphill finishes or short steep finishes of less than 1km climbing, more than 1km climbing and he drops.

I have serious questions with Sagan's climbing capabilities

From where can you question them? He has never truly ridden climbs competitvely himself and the TDS win even from a breakaway was truly an impressive climbing perfomance.

 

[Andy99]

Any updates - The fat lady must have pretty much sung by now..?

 

[goggalor]

LOL eurosport spoiling P-N.

"We'll not spoil it too much for ya!"

riiiight.

That's 1 time...

He won Pologne on boni seconds from the flat stages and suffered uphill in a mediocre field.

In any other mountain stage or hilly stage he usually drops fast and often finishes in the last few groups...

 

[screaming fist]

Woah, dangerous turn.

Haha, I rapidly muted and turned away. So annoying. Luckily I managed to see nothing.

 

[Parrulo]

i am going with freire for this one just because he is still awesome

 

[screaming fist]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Farrar deliver Cav once again

 

[burning]

i am going with freire for this one just because he is still awesome

the stage is too short for him imo, i still hope that you are right

 

[screaming fist]

Freire might benefit when it's that chaotic.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

EBH! Cav wasn't there.

 

[burning]

Ebh!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DominicDecoco]

Hagen wins!

 

[goggalor]

Sky have some depth eh.

 

[Benotti69]

EBH gets the win.

Cav?

 

[ruswilks]

Eddy Boss! What happened to Cav?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

I was looking for Cav in all the overhead shots and I didn't see him once.

 

[Andy99]

Eddy Boss! What happened to Cav?

Dunno. just seen the finish, nowhere to be seen. Puncture?

Great sprint by EBH to hold off Griepel etc..

 

[Parrulo]

stage too short for freire indeed, the difference is on his performance from short to long stages is almost unbelievable.

anyway nice win for hagen, very weird sprint

 

[maltiv]

WOW! Edvald beat Greipel and Farrar in a normal sprint!
