It's a bit like asking if Jens Voigt is joking.

The answer is ALWAYS YES.

Well... personally I think all pros are a bit on the weird side. Come one; their biggest dream is suffering for three weeks!
But yeah... DZ's kinda... upping the craziness a bit!


Riiight, back to da race! Anything happening?

 

[Deagol]

raining on the pass, as it did last year

 

[roundabout]

Hope the coverage won't be affected too much.

 

[Deagol]

hmm, they made the turn, peloton must not have wanted to catch them yet... ?

Still some flat stretches to go along the lakes

 

[mewmewmew13]

Yeah, raining on the pass ...steady I heard , with gusty winds.
hope no crashes...

of course it will...what are you saying!?

can you imagine if it was dirt like Cottonwood? could be a huge mess, especially rain on a dirt downhill.

Probably lots of spectators who rode their bikes up to watch now freezing to death, not that I would know anything about that ..

Lol...been there on tincup pass..

Hope it will at least be better than last year

 

[BillytheKid]

Looks like it is more of a headwind. I don't think you will see much attacking until well up the climb.

Looks like another Cottonwool Pass to me.

replay of stage 1 ??

Tom D and another rider alone at front on the final climb

 

[Deagol]

riders now being shed off the back on this "easy" climb...

It appears to be up to BMC. I wonder if the 3 minutes correct?

The other rider is Colorado.

 

[Deagol]

the prime actiaon could be happening right now, but it's blocked out by Paul's intro....

There's a rider called Colorado? Now that's a fitting race for him to participate in!

It looks like the clouds have lifted some

Let's get the audio right guys.

Farrar still in the peloton..........

Same as before. Bunch chasing the 2.

perhaps you should tell the guys who were dropped how much they suck...

I was going to write something, but it would have been stating the obvious.

This was once Spain.

I think they've made a mistake letting these guys go. Horner was PO'd at BMC yesterday for not working much.

Has BMC been the only team to work?

unless you count the huge amount of work DZ has done (in the break), but no, in the pack, it's been BMC all day

 

[Deagol]

looks like we may have better video than last year ? I didn't see the vid last year, anyone know if this section was viewable? Will we get to see the descent ?

 

[BillytheKid]

Horner is not going well. He's not going anywhere. Fuglsang?

 

[Moviefan1203]

Horrible race managing by BMC. It's as if they want to give the yellow jersey to Tommy D.
