What's that strange sound in the heli shots all the time?

sounds like a modem

 

[jens_attacks]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


someone attack pls

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Well, who's fault was it then? Maybe too hard race for him. Nevermind, again he is not the type of rider we should talk about in these types of races. He's a nobody in one day races.

No argument from me on that one.

Will the Frenchies be the first to liven up the race next?

 

[BigMac]

They have gained almost two minutes the last lap. :O

Pace is incredibly slow.

 

[rainman]

Anybody think Italy have done too much work too early?

This has played straight into Gilbert and Canc

yeah too much but Nibali, Pozzato look fairly comfortable.

 

[Alex76]

Never underestimate the French.......

 

[Dazed and Confused]

They have gained almost two minutes the last lap. :O

Barta FTW.

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

Some countries are really a disgrace.

 

[trevim]

Magallanes Aranda (God know who he is) still in the main peloton.

im hoping for a voeckler attack

 

[michaeldaddow]

Stybar as we all know is one of, if not the best descenders in the peloton, look for an attack on the descent. Britain is weak sauce.

 

[shinoda13]

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

 

[michaeldaddow]

Some countries are really a disgrace.

which countries?

 

[T-Nielsen]

They can talk about JTL instead...

If the past is a sign of the future, then they will be talking about Cavendish, Froome and Wiggins most of the time no matter where they are or aren't.

 

[SafeBet]

yeah too much but Nibali, Pozzato look fairly comfortable.

Scarponi has done zero work so far as well. He's my dark horse.

 

[raddone]

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

The best one around

 

[brilleaben]

which countries?

North Korea.

 

[Arredondo]

Valverde still there? Don't see him.

 

[Rollthedice]

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

Yep, just saw it. Major achievement.

 

[T-Nielsen]

North Korea.

Yeah... talk about bombing...

 

[Zam_Olyas]

North Korea.

meh...who knows maybe tomm's newspaper will be filled with them winning the worlds against all odds? #pyongyang

 

[michaeldaddow]

Yeah... talk about bombing...

Latvia of all countries has rider(s)? still up there...

 

[jens_attacks]

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

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

 

[brilleaben]

Yeah... talk about bombing...

Yeah, have just let Italy dictate the race completely.
