[Afrank]

Anybody have an english stream? All I can find is Italian.

 

[T-Nielsen]

Yeah, have just let Italy dictate the race completely.

Sadly I don't know the national anthem, so I can't sarcasticly sing it.

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

which countries?

Mexico of course

 

[BigMac]

FFS just make it live feed, no one cares about the highlights for now.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Can't believe my eyes. Andrei Nechita (Romania) is still in the main bunch.

My heart is aflutter. My countryman will smash today.

 

[jens_attacks]

still have big hopes for chouchou

but he will attack only in the final laps

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Mexico of course

thing is I would rather have the weak removed quickly like today, so we can focus on the men associated with this race.

 

[Netserk]

So over half of the starters have DNF'ed...

 

[rainman]

Break still good, but someone has to blow the lid off this soon. In the meantime we're good here at bbc without commentary.

stay with red button to avoid blurb

 

[raddone]

Can you stop with the stupid analogies? Sagan in 2nd position to Cancellara. Froome was in like 80th position with no chance to get back in the PELOTON.

Please search in what spot did ARNDT Nikias finish RvV this year. Is this a less stupid analogy?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Leukemans down too.

 

[T-Nielsen]

CAS in legs and what look like a winterjacket.

Not a fan of the weather that man.

 

[shinoda13]

actually on these kind of routes he's very good
rides for zalf, one of the best italy teams
always had bad luck in to find a big team,he's getting old. too bad

italy should send fast someone up the road. they just make this easy for phil and fabian

He said this summer that he hopes he will get a contract for 2014 with Trevigiani, who want to move up to continental level. I saw a list with some of the riders which have a contract with them for 2014 and he didn't figure there.

 

[Bakhjulet]

Pozzato will drop if the italians up the pace. All in for Nibali please, otherwise they you will never drop Canc, Sagan and Gilbert.

 

[meat puppet]

the modem bleeps add to the epicness to this race

 

[Ferminal]

Pozzato DNF...?

Quoted for truth.

Game on.

edit: watch nordhaug

 

[b.broadhurst]

lap 6 and we still have 70 in the front group, i'm surprised

 

[T-Nielsen]

Its Cancellara downloading information.

 

[kingjr]

Pozzato DNF...?

yes looks like it

 

[brilleaben]

Geraint Too Fat also out. Stannard still in?

Hearing reports that all the Team GB riders have retired!!! Can't believe Sir Wiggins and the rest would give up the sport because of rain!!

It is a circuit race: you can't have a 20-25% HD cut-off.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Cancellara adjusting the battle helm.

That's what you get when the training camps happen in Mallorca and Tenerife
