2012 Volta ao Algarve

[BillytheKid]

Hey, It's my homeboy, Matthew Busche. Made his home in Las Cruces for years. And years after I moved away. But cool.

 

[Mellow Velo]

60kms to go and 2 live races.
Headache time.

 

[El Pistolero]

At least Phil's shorts aren't all red anymore

 

[Mellow Velo]

A pity the majority of the climb is after the finish line.

Woops, wrong thread.

Anyway, break any chance of succeeding?

I am not sure what the gap is. Sky is on the front though. So not?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Wow. Well, this isn't getting tiresome.

What? Jesus is awesome.

 

[Trofinios]

43k to go, gap is 1.12.

:s:s:s:s:s

 

[BillytheKid]

Gap is 51 seconds or less. It looks like a matter fact catch.

 

[BillytheKid]

It's gone back out?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Come on Jesus!

 

[dlwssonic]

Come on Jesus!

Come on GVA!
Me and you are on the same team today!

 

[BillytheKid]

Come on Jesus!

Gotta cheer on Busche too!

I make it roughly 160K with about 10K to that little climb. I think they're are going to get caught before.

 

[Kvinto]

about 5min ago it was 25km to the finish

 

[More Strides than Rides]

There are occasional twitter updates shown right on the broadcast. 25k to go flashed maybe 5 minutes ago, lead group appears to have an advantage still, but not sure how much

 

[Kvinto]

50sec.....

 

[JRanton]

Can't see Froome? Has he abandoned/DNS?

 

[DominicDecoco]

On a serious note I can see Kirsipuu winning this stage.

 

[Richeypen]

No Eurosport coverage today then I guess

 

[Zam_Olyas]

The tubemen looks really good...driller.
