I have to say, this feed is superb.

It alternates between orgasm-inducing and super crappy picture quality for some reason.

"Glad" im not the only one it happens to..

And woah.. only 20 to 30 people remaining in the bunch

edit; approx 50 max.

 

[goggalor]

A finish on that KOM point would've been fantastic.

I'm in Salt Lake City, so maybe proximity has to do with it. It has been perfect so far.

Man, I cannot believe how this group has split. Garmin caused major damage.

Break about to lose Boily.

Ok, break has shattered.

 

[Havetts]

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

Elite sprinter Luis Leon Sanchez in the bunch, easy sprint victory

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Good grief. Did the entire Rabo team make the split?!?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rabobank with 6 of their riders in the first group. So I guess Matthews is there for the sprint

 

[Pippo_San]

Lol the stage profile on Cyclingnews is beyond ridiculous

 

[Mellow Velo]

Looks like it. I reckon at least 7 up there.
Seems the Bus have found their niche race!
(Sagan to win, easily)

 

[hrotha]

So, 11.5 or 22.8 km to go?

 

[The Sheep]

Dunno, i thought i saw a 25k to go sign recently but not completely sure. Should have either the 10k or 20k sign coming shortly.

Ah, there we go. 20k for the leaders.

19.8km to go

On eurosport there is a graphic in the screen. I'm guessing the ticker lacks this graphic?

20km to go, just saw the sign

 

[Frosty]

19.8km to go

5.6 miles on the radioshack tracker (roughly 9km) but the picture says 18.7

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So this is the 'flat' part to the finish huh?

 

[hrotha]

19.8km to go

The graphic on the TV broadcast says 18 km. The Tour Tracker GPS stuff says 8 km. Alright, I'll only pay attention to the TV graphic now.

 

[DominicDecoco]

I almost forgot how great EurosportHD looks like when it's produced in a proper way. It's like watching Tour De France this.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rabobus with 7 in front, only Tjallingii not there...

 

[will10]

No excuses today Rabo, finish the job.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I see 10.1 km left.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Nice echelon going on.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Break is done. A valiant effort today.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No excuses today Rabo, finish the job.

Sagan is a good excuse.
