Noval... doing something ...

 

[Cancellator]

I like the live speedometer.

Noval... doing something ...

Where? When? How?

 

[Ney the Viking]

What the hell is saxy doing, too early to spend all that energy, even if they need to keep AC safe.

edit: ok it was just hrough the roundabout and a few nasty corners it seems.

 

[Miburo]

Wonder what stybar can do.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Hurray for Vacansoleil

 

[DominicDecoco]

Lagutin being paced by the motorcycle..

Motos can't be blamed of helping only the spaniards

 

[LaFlorecita]

Because his English is too good on his tweets. You'd expect him to make grammatical mistakes like Cancellara and Gilbert when he tweets in English.

Lol just because you don't see them it doesn't mean he doesn't make them.

 

[Ney the Viking]

It's spain, they hate bunch sprints apparently Tho the peleton got a nice moto pace as well at the time.

btw is there 3k rule in spain?

 

[gustienordic]

Eurosport talking about Contador sprinting lol

Why not? Evans and Wiggins did or try to a bunch of times too this year and last.

 

[Fidolix]

nice deny pace...

But not Contador, he rarely sprints uphill, never mind a bunch sprint..

 

[Ney the Viking]

wow unstructered sprint. Degenkolb ftw?

 

[icefire]

Degenkolb, Davis, Swift

Think it applies to all UCI races.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Moto won.

You don't have to sprint when you are riding solo. :O)

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Good effort from Swift with 0 leadout, but went far too early. Looks to have the legs if he is given help, or gets luckier in where he comes free.

 

[El Pistolero]

Lol at this sprinting field, not one decent sprinter was looking for some easy wins? I don't get it, do they like getting beaten by Cav in the Tour?

 

[T-Nielsen]

Someone will probably have a little talk with the mc people tonight.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

Wow that finish was like the running of the bulls. But at least no crashes in an untricky finish. Nice to see Alan Davis finally in the mix.

Yeah they were not even close enough to the riders, and they didnt pace the break enough so it held. Shame on them!

Didn't know he could sprint.
