Is Sagan's transponder not working? I'm not seeing him in the time checks but I'm fairly certain I see him in the bunch...

Yes he had a problem in the beginning of the race and he had to change bike , so no transponder for Sagan.

 

[kingjr]

Cancellara should just ride away now.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Degenkolb was actually dropped on the Fiesole. He returned in the downhill when the peloton was slowing enormously

Totally unjustified characterisation of that interview

 

[jens_attacks]

maxim iglinskiy might snatch a medal at the end. but the weather needs to get worse

 

[trevim]

Totally unjustified characterisation of that interview

What did he say?

 

[Inquitus]

What did he say?

Not alot, just said the weather was poor and there were lots of crashes and its a shame he couldn't deliver. He came across very well.

 

[Afrank]

What did he say?

Blamed the weather, said it was sad to leave the race after training so hard for it and that it was a big objective. And other stuff like that.

 

[all_in]

Henao is still in the front group.At the back but he's still there.I hope he has April legs back.

Thanks... So basically nothing of any interest to the race

Brits should be used to rain not ?

 

[Cyivel]

What did he say?

He said the conditions were difficult and responsible for a lot of the crashes but that it's the same for all so GB having no finishers is their own fault and if it was a dry run for Rio they may need to go back to the drawing board.

I thought he was fine.

 

[Miburo]

Cancellara got this.

Degenkolb was actually dropped on the Fiesole. He returned in the downhill when the peloton was slowing enormously

Thought so, Wegmann still good to go.

Degenkolb was actually dropped on the Fiesole. He returned in the downhill when the peloton was slowing enormously

I thought so, Wegmann sole leader now?

 

[infeXio]

Froome just interviewed by Danish tv.

Wasn't feeling well, and was affected by losing lots of teammates very early in the race, as positioning is everything, and it's seemingly insanely exhausting to be alone.
Other than that, he seemed quite relaxed.

 

[Gloin22]

Blamed the weather, said it was sad to leave the race after training so hard for it and that it was a big objective. And other stuff like that.

He said no excuses about the weather, never blamed the weather...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kelderman in difficulty

 

[Arredondo]

And the oscar goes to... Bartosz!

 

[T-Nielsen]

CAS would win alot more if all races were 250+.

 

[meat puppet]

CAS would win alot more if all races were 250+.

this one will do. for starters.

 

[spalco]

Still four Swiss in the front group, that's pretty impressive too.

 

[Netserk]

Visconti strong as a bull!
