I just spat my coffee out at some of those pronunciations.

I always feel sorry for non-Dutch speaking commentators having to pronounce Kruijswijk

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Why are they protecting VdV? No way he's going to survive today and tomorrow. No way.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Just about to make the right hand turn after this roller.

Canyon doesn't start yet. One more right hand turn.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Hmmm...
This is a rough day to climb this one. This is a nearly fully exposed climb. Very little shade. We're having a heat wave here too.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

I always feel sorry for non-Dutch speaking commentators having to pronounce Kruijswijk

I really hope he has a good ride today just to see how many different pronunciations the commentators can come up with.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Mancebo has attacked the break and is bridging up to Anthony. Took long enough.

 

[Richeypen]

Sadly the commentators are P+P worthy.

 

[argyllflyer]

Bizarre? Or just that there isn't so much gas in the tank?

Ha forgot it wasn't the Sky train chasing it down.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Kelderman could surprise. He's a young kid for Rabo.

Hard part has not quite hit yet. You will see the hard part once you see the creek on the right side.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I would guess Louder and Slagter will be excused from this group shortly.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Yep, no surprise this break has been destroyed.

Mancebo has been dropped!


Wait, what? Slagter is flying!

 

[classicomano]

The Butcher blasts off.

 

[jens_attacks]

oh i do remember the epic henao attacks on brave levi

this time,i'll cheer for paco and papy horner from back in the peloton

c'mon,images from the peloton please!

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Sadly the commentators are P+P worthy.

That's a compliment for these two.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

There is absolutely no rest for the next 5k. None. It is straight up now.

Rabo is crushing this. Wow.

King, Schar, Duggan, all dropped.

 

[jens_attacks]

EPM at work

poor paco....
and poor delayed stream for me...

 

[jens_attacks]

duggan strong as a rock this year
the butcher slaying them though

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Tschopp from BMC goes. Leipheimer and Danielson in the group that has caught Mancebo.

 

[jens_attacks]

finally the peloton

huge speed

 

[jens_attacks]

tschopp doing a contador !

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

WTF. He's riding a 39-19. I am humbled.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

VdV has cracked.

Danielson setting the tempo. Still have Levi and Shackers.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

VdV is fighting like crazy. He's doomed though.

 

[jens_attacks]

garmin hammering but christian dropped...hmmm
let's see chris flying now

 

[hiero2]

VdV is fighting like crazy. He's doomed though.

Got to say - you called VdV correctly. Syonara Chris.
