2012 Tour Down Under Stage 1: Prospect to Clare, 149km, 2.WT

[austy37]

how do you walk into the road of the racers anyway? dont they have a barrier or something?

 

[Ferminal]

Cyclingnews report says Guesdon has broken his hip

Ugh, horrible, hard to see him coming back from that at his age.

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

Rojas was going for the overall, but I guess that's out the window now. Was he involved in the crash?

 

[just some guy]

how do you walk into the road of the racers anyway? dont they have a barrier or something?

ninemsn are reporting that a rider veered to miss a crash and then hit the spectator whatever it is worth

 

[Kwibus]

Not happy to hear how the 2012 season started

Congratulations to Greipel though.

 

[jens_attacks]

where did valverde finish?

 

[Gloin22]

where did valverde finish?

57th in peleton with same time as winner

GC looks to be over for Goss, Rojas, Meyer and Ciolek ( 1:40) from the big names. Not a good stage for GE with 5 riders on 1:40 already,

 

[jens_attacks]

57th in peleton with same time as winner

ok thanks..

[theyoungest]

Aussie bookmakers had Nathan Haas at the same odds as Greipel for the Tour Down Under. Unfortunately, he's now last on GC at 3:04. Anyone know what happened to him?

57th in peleton with same time as winner

GC looks to be over for Goss, Rojas, Meyer and Ciolek ( 1:40) from the big names. Not a good stage for GE with 5 riders on 1:40 already,

But weren't they held up within the 3km rule?

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

ninemsn are reporting that a rider veered to miss a crash and then hit the spectator whatever it is worth

Our person at the scene says something similar, that the spectator was not in the road.

Susan

 

[theyoungest]

But weren't they held up within the 3km rule?

Of course. Don't know what Gloin is on about.

[kjetilraknerud]

How was Sky's lead-out? Thomas, Dowsett and and Hayman leading out Sutton with Rogers and EBH taking it easy? I only read the results.

"@TourDeJose: officieel medisch rapport heeft het over mogelijke nekfractuur voor Roelandts. Nu in Adelaide hospital #tdu"

Yeah, Cyclingnews editor Al Hinds tweeted this. Possible neck fracture. That's serious.

Highlights should start there soon.

 

[Andy99]

Greenedge all caught behind one of the crashes, I guess?

 

[CobbleStoner]

Greenedge all caught behind one of the crashes, I guess?

so is that gonna fly when they are explaining to Matt White? 4 EE riders finished ahead of any Greenedge, LOL! embarrassing. Cantwell was ok, Renshaw was screwed by the crash but still got in a result. would love to be a fly on the wall at GE team meeting tonight

Glad to see Greipel launching his new team in style. Must have been training hard in the winter.

In the offseason, I had almost forgotten about crashes

Windows Media.

 

[CobbleStoner]

how was Ale-Jet not relegated to last place? if Cav did that, he would have been, and has been for way less movement
