[Snilla]

Well played Sexy Bank

 

[Cimber]

LMFAO - thats a brialliant move by Saxo Bank. If u mess with our guy we will hunt u all down. Think they got the message

 

[TeoSheva]

I loved this move

 

[Cimber]

Might even be Nickis plan. He was quite ****ed and went back to the Saxo car till tell them something: "hunt the fekers!"?

 

[fluffkitten]

That was great. Even on "boring" stages there is always something interesting.

The addition of Tinkoff as sponsor has also brought in "the Russian mobster extortion tactic" in the peloton.

Maybe later on in the stage SBTB will tell the other guys in the break: "Let Nicki win or Oleg and his friends will pay u a visit at 3 am"

 

[nilfen]

Today we was given a lesson in cycling-tactics by SBTB - made the day

"Let Nicki win or we will play a game of human bowling at 3.1km from the finish."

Sky chasing for Cav? Or just little pace.

 

[stazzy]

Sky chasing for Cav? Or just little pace.

probably some internal agreement that they will chase to 3-4min and then let orica and lotto do the rest of the work

 

[Cimber]

Sky chasing for Cav? Or just little pace.

The yellow jersey team being greedy again?

 

[Fidolix]

and the peloton thought it would be a quite day at the office today
The chase is on and Sagan must be licking his lips for another stage win, no way greibel or Cav gonna beat him with this finish.

Great work Sky and Lotto, cant wait to see how stupid you will look when the stage is finished.

Yeah, Lotto only won 3 stages this way. In fact, the only reason Sagan beat Greipel in a sprint this Tour is because Greipel's shoulder was dislocated. Sagan might very well win today, but Lotto is by no means being dumb here...

Well, last time it was orica doing most of the work for them, but otherwise ye

 

[taiwan]

Do Lotto think they're going to bring this back with only 2 men?

 

[TatryTour2013]

The figth for Green Jersey is finally over. Cav, Greipel and Goss could save a lot of energy within last 2 weeks ... Guess for how many years this is reserved for PS?

 

[Finn84]

Lancaster abandoned.

Five teams with full squad: BMC, Liquigas, FDJ, Lotto and Saxo.

 

[TomasC]

The chase is over it sems..?

 

[maltiv]

Looks like the peloton suddenly gave up for no reason.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nooo

Kenny van Hummel abandons with stomach problems. Our last hope for a 7th place on the Champs Elysees

 

[fluffkitten]

5 abandons already today it seems.

 

[stazzy]
