2012 Volta ao Algarve

[MartinGT]

O yes it is eurosport 2 @15:45

Yeh baby!

Its now showing on my channel guide, was tennis earlier, unless I miss read it

 

[jens_attacks]

sergio sousa and ricardo mestre in a doomed breakaway ...shows us how prepared is the portuguese cycling scene for racing in february...sad

 

[Kvinto]

Mestre is probably going to defend his last year's mountain jersey

EDIT: he was in the same doomed breakaway in this stage a year ago

EDIT 2: the stage's finish was the same, not the breakaway

 

[jens_attacks]

i don't remember anything from last year,only that cummings beat alberto on malhao

 

[Kvinto]

well, i remembered that Mestre won the KOM, the fact that he was in the breakaway of Albufeira stage is obviously taken from the CN report

 

[TeoSheva]

i don't remember anything from last year,only that cummings beat alberto on malhao

I remember almost all

First victory for Degenkolb and Gilbert in 2011!

 

[CraZyCaLL]

Good finish for Michel Kreder...

Ditto. Excellent stream indeed.

 

[theyoungest]

Wow, insane roundabout there. With riders having to sneak their way past a lorry and a row of cars.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

On the steep part now, lead has dropped to 1.35
Amazingly no one crashed at that roundabout.

 

[The Hitch]

So theres still 90k left?

 

[jens_attacks]

kroon beating sergio sousa for the KOM...

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

39 or 33, couldn't quite see. It was the last Cat. 3. Kroon is back, in great shape!

 

[EddytheBoss]

1:00 to peleton

 

[Mellow Velo]

39 or 33, couldn't quite see. It was the last Cat. 3. Kroon is back, in great shape!

I think it was 33kms to go.

 

[jens_attacks]

37 now or 32?=))

 

[MartinGT]

I bloody hate tennis and Eurosports love for it.

It spoilt last season Lombardia and now this
