Time to unsticky this thread maybe? Let it sink or swim on the merits of the racing.

From twitter it seems that the break still has 8 mins with 40km to go. Apparently GreenEdge have been on the front of the peloton all day.

Even still, I don't think there's a real chance of the break making it.

Well, when you're looking for your 'real cycling fan' cred, just remember that you were listening to a live radio stream for the Tour Down Under while commenting on a thread about the race. Eat that, July-only visitors.

Wait, I guess that maybe just makes us sound pathetic...

edit: ...but not as pathetic as the guy they're interviewing on the radio right now...

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Now there's an unofficial report that the break has 5:30 with 35kms to go.

 

[auscyclefan94]

4 mins, 40km

There now saying its about 4 mins looks like they be caught and will end in a sprint finish - no surprise. Greenedge and sky doing a lot of work on the front.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Any streams?

Can you please post such off topic things in another thread? Some people want to enjoy the race without such comments.

Well it seems that the moderators failure to act on posts that do not contribute to the topic has sent a message that off topic posts are ok.

Crikey! They sound just like Australians.

Does anyone know who got the second sprint bonuses (yes I'm that bored)

 

[auscyclefan94]

Kohler won the 2nd sprint.

An exact repeat of 2010 TDU.
