[happytramp]

Not really feeling the 'light years ahead of everything else' coverage.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

WTF is going on with Coldeportes?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

That group is not big anymore

Gesink in the front group

 

[goggalor]

Nibali looks like he's struggling more than Sagan.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Major damage in the peloton. Garmin has destroyed the group.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

They've taken 2 minutes out of the break on the climb!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I see Gesink near the front. He is good, finally?

 

[Zam_Olyas]

WTF is going on with Coldeportes?

cortis fault for flying them from europe to america and with no training letting them race.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Kittel's rear end on the rear end.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I can't believe how this group has shattered.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Suarez is really doing bad this year :S

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

They do have one up front. I missed that. Right ahead of Horner, I believe.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Is fast freddie riding this year?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Break is doomed. The leading group is flying.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

They do have one up front. I missed that. Right ahead of Horner, I believe.

Fabio Duarte that is

 

[goggalor]

Lovely scenery! The Tour Tracker is also excellent, don't know why people are complaining.

 

[Kazistuta]

Who was the Garmin dude pulling the field over the top? Howes? Haas? Dave Z and Tom D were the two just behind him...

 

[ElChingon]

Fast Freddie is there.

The lack of fans at the KOM is pretty sad.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Lovely scenery! The Tour Tracker is also excellent, don't know why people are complaining.

Excellent, thanks.

Garmin and Rabo hammering this.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Rabo are circling the weaken bunch, like a pack of orange hungry wolves.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I have to say, this feed is superb.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rabobank actually look good in this stage. But all they are doing is leading Sagan to victory

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

21 seconds between the 1st peloton and the chasing group

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Local boy Jeff Louder gives it a go. Not sure that's a good move from this far out.

 

[Don Johnson]

Watch the next 25 K it is going to be mighty fast.
