2013 Milan-San Remo, 17 March (298km)

[Afrank]

Confirmed, Nibs abandons.

Santambrogio still in?

 

[gruppeto993]

greipel is still there!! Im rooting for him!
Has anyone seen cancellara or his team from the overhead view?

 

[Eshnar]

According to Rai (estimated reliability=10%) what Boonen was whining about is that 100 riders or so had retired slightly before Ovada, but organisers just let them pass.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Sky pulling for Cav - just like the old days

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Cav chillin with Chav & the sky train at the front.

 

[Parrot23]

LOL, it'll be funny if Sky's Rapha's clothing (whose branding campaign I don't like) was better for the conditions than some others teams'.

Tenerife to these conditions and they all still look to be there. Cold and wet ain't killing them, it seems.

 

[Lexman]

Pelizotti riding with his change clothes ;-)

Cancellara was still there half an hour ago or so, and it wasn't mentioned he's gone. But I haven't seen him either. Difficult to identify riders today.

No no he said that they had dropped, not retired. He thought that it was stupid though that they could ride with the peloton in the 'second' race with not disadvantage

 

[The Hitch]

Gelost means dropped. He's complaining about the fact that riders that got dropped got back in the peloton now after the race got neutralized.

But he can't complain about that apparantly. (not directed towards anyone in particular).

Man you just can't let it go can you ?

 

[gruppeto993]

looks like it will be cav vs greipel vs sagan

 

[Carols]

so nibali officially out? according to portuguese ES guys he said in the interview that he never managed to warm up.

Poor Nibs

 

[webvan]

Sky come to front. Whining begins.

Jezus, this is getting annoying... :L

And imagine what's like in the clinic...naturally the fact that they have total unknowns like Kyrienka (sp?) makes it unbelievable to the denizens...

Anyway, it looks like Pellizotti has decided to dip into a big panier of courage ;-)

 

[Ferminal]

Kiryienka unknown? Nice indictment.

 

[Gloin22]

Kiryienka unknown? Nice indictment.

He was being sarcastic

 

[MatParker117]

Silly breakaway you can't escape Sky.

 

[Ferminal]

He was being sarcastic

Well the spelling was a double banger then

 

[Potomac]

better a coat in the hedge than the front wheel

 

[JimmyFingers]

See? Those marginal gains....

 

[Parrulo]

seems like nibali picked up a bad time to abandon as the weather seems to be improving

 

[wwabbit]

Kiryienka unknown? Nice indictment.

I think he's being sarcastic...

 

[Peccio89]

Hushovd and Chicchi dropped on Capo Berta

 

[Pippo_San]

Hushovd doesn't look too good!

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Geraint thomas not a great descender but he is mad. If he covers a move for ebh his aggression places him in the mix.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Kiryienka unknown? Nice indictment.

You're going to have to put sarcasm detection before n00b hating or you might look like you're just in a rush to hate...
