What a pathetic way to keep up interest in the race. Ooh, it may be too hot for Sky, don't turn off your TVs.

******.

Kessiakoff my man, where are ya!?

With the Intermediate Sprint at just 26km from the start, the Sprinters Teams may well control things to there.

 

[Lexman]

Liquigas sending one man in front???

Lotto should send De Greef or Hansen up the road

How long before Hagen starts to think that he has status enough in the peloton to neutralize it?

oh he didn't lear his lesson yet you think?

Cav will do it today, with his rainbow jersey on, and then set the tempo on the Aubisque...

Day after a rest day and a good chance of the break succeeding. Could mean it takes quite a while for the break of the day to get away. Maybe the uncategorised bump now could help matters but it wouldnt surprise me if it is a bit like La Toussuire stage where it takes the early slopes of the first HC climb for the composition of the break to become sorted.

Huge break.

half of the peloton in the break and 0 Liguigas
What a crappy team.

 

[Frosty]

Wow. 38 riders 1 minute ahead!

 

[roundabout]

Too massive. There must be at least 30 people in the break.

 

[Eshnar]

Any sign of Scarponi or Cobo or Dan Martin?

Scarponi is in the peloton.Dunno about the others.

 

[Frosty]

Dan Martin reported as being in the break.

 

[Montanus]

Kessiakoff, Tommy V and CAS in the break, should be a good fight for the mountain points.

 

[Lexman]

any LTB in the break?

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

[Mellow Velo]
