[Deagol]

methink the break will be caught

 

[Afrank]

United Healthcare on the front, might be trying to set up Sutherland

 

[Deagol]

2 Garmin off the front, wow

 

[Mellow Velo]

Picture break up becoming a bit of a pain.
Nibali dropped, or decided that the break had no prospect?

Garmin own either ends of the peloton!

 

[Arnout]

Absolutely fascinates me how different the US looks compared to Europe. Need to visit your side of the pond soon for sure.

 

[Rocksteady]

Farrar is there!! Come on TYLER. GET THAT WIN!!

Didn't he have a mechanical issue?

Nibali dropped, or decided that the break had no prospect?

he decided to end his training sooner. he's learning to gauge his chances better after LBL - that was a hard pill to swallow.

The meadow to the right, afetr that 90 degree turn, was a huge controversy several years back. Telluride condemned a private developer (took the land through eminant domain) to prevent it from being developed.

Break about to be caught

It is very pretty country out west there.

And, hey, doesn't look a thing like some other parts of the U.S.

Radioshack attacking

 

[Deagol]

Danielson should get KOM & most agressive jersey, at least

 

[webvan]

The tracker says there are 123 riders in the pack ?!

 

[Afrank]

Back together with less then 2 miles to go.

 

[Afrank]

Tyler Farrar take it. First win since his july 4th win in the tour last year.

 

[Warhawk]

Well, maybe not the most impressive sprint in the world...

 

[goggalor]

Garmin's tactic worked out perfectly!

 

[shalgo]

So the Garmin diversionary strategy worked to perfection.

 

[pastronef]

oh yes! what a relief for Farrar! nice win, nice win after this year poor performances!

 

[Deagol]

Garmin earned this, and then some ....

 

[Arnout]
