[roundabout]

Boo

Wiggins should be ashamed of himself

 

[Netserk]

Costa, EBH and Samu behind.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

looks really really slippery too. and my my, italy drilling it already! high expectations for the race!

A sight to behold, we have a legit chance after so many years

 

[The Blues]

They had Nibali at 6:44, which has got to be a mistake considering Italy's current upping of the pace.

 

[JRanton]

Sagan more than a minute down?

EDIT - Think he's ok actually.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Where is Horner?

Colombia down to Quintana it seems.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Sagan 45 secs behind Italian group

 

[Netserk]

Peter Sagan at 6'44 ???

 

[hrotha]

Eliminating Costa should be a priority.

And Wiggins is a disgrace.

 

[trevim]

Sagan and half of Colombia seem to be at the back.

 

[b.broadhurst]

Looks like Froome only has Josh, G and Stan left.

 

[The Hitch]

Lars Bonde (national coach for Denmark) just told that Wiggins is quitting now. He does not want to race in this weather today.

Did he do any work on the front?

 

[Netserk]

Did he do any work on the front?

Nope.

tenchar.

Hope it's a mistake. But there's no radio so the guys in the front don't know if there's something wrong with Nibali.

 

[The Blues]

Did he do any work on the front?

No. Cruised at the back the entire time.

 

[The Hitch]

lol
After 20 minutes of "Froome won TDF, Froome won tdf" their first non froome comment.

"number 172 is Lars peter nordhaug from Germany"

**** off from my sport.

 

[JRanton]

Where is Horner?

Colombia down to Quintana it seems.

Horner crashed. No idea where he is now.

 

[b.broadhurst]

They are riding for Pippo then

Smart move by Sir David Brailsford to tell Sir Wiggins to take a lap out. Means he'll be fresh for later. #tactics

 

[Netserk]

Hope it's a mistake. But there's no radio so the guys in the front don't know if there's something wrong with Nibali.

Nibali is in the front group. They have corrected it so he is now listed as 5'56

 

[the asian]

Bike change for a Sagan. That's the reason he's behind.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Peter Sagan at 6'44 ???

Mechanical, Velits was with him.

 

[jamesmasters]

Wiggins really is a complete joke. A big child.

 

[Netserk]

 

[Pulpstar]

That nice chap, Mr Froome was all very looking forward to Wiggo working for him today.

Working for Froome + Rain = for Wiggo.
