2012 Tour of California May 13 Stage 2: San Francisco - Santa Cruz County 188.5 km

[Zinoviev Letter]

Lots of riders are not happy about this descent. Garmin haven't been pushing the pace that hard, but gaps have been opening all over the place.

 

[Froome19]

Garmin evidently dont want anyone else rejoining on the descent.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Is that Peterson who just accidentally dropped the peloton on the descent?

yes the Eurosport NL commentator said that Peterson is appearently a great descender and he pretty much foresaw what happened already

 

[Wigwan]

Boily or Geniez with the KoM jersey tonight?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The group has seriously become smaller.

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Looks like a prearranged attempt by garmin for this descent

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Who's missing?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rabobank joining Garmin.

So it seems some GC contenders missed the split

 

[jsem94]

What happened to the peloton..

 

[Flamin]

lol, only 20-25 guys left.

Nibali, Gesink, Sagan... are there.

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Excellent move by garmin. Many missed it; perhaps cause no ds in ear pointing out the tactical danger developing

 

[DominicDecoco]

Proper racing this.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Second group is now returning

 

[Flamin]

brave move from Garmin, a pity it didn't work out.

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Spooked a few. Meerkat training required for some

 

[Christian]

Very much prefered the Skil jersey to the new Argos

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Did all of the groups shed on the descent eventually make it back? Or just the second group?

I completely misread that!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Not for Boonen today

 

[SpannerBender]

Tommyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

UHC pushing the pace a bit. Is that Deignan in front?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

They can go waaaaaaaaay faster but they won't

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Great to see deignan. What would the UHC plan be?

 

[Parrulo]

[Havetts]
