robbie talking some sense abouy skin suits in road races

 

[auscyclefan94]

no matter how many publicity they show, the idea of "me getting close to animals in australia" will never feel appealing

How could you not want to touch or pat a Koala or Kangaroo? They are beautiful animals. Toughen up Parrulo!

Sprints = time bonuses of 3s, 2s & 1s and points of 5, 3 and 2 respectively for 1st, 2nd & 3rd.

I think that is right.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

First Gilbert attack of the year.

 

[wirral]

OMG "It's Roche, It's Steven Roche" moment there.

 

[Afrank]

Nice one Phil.

kangaroos and kualas are cute, very cute actually, all kinds of deadly snakes, spiders, lizards, sharks, and pretty much every other animal in australia are not

i am starting to feel silly for not putting more money on phill for the overall win

" You should be looking for the guy you don't see". Robbie putting Phil in his place.

 

[mewmewmew13]

He said that Koalas make funny noises in the tree when they mate!

Lol!
sounds like he enjoys listening

 

[wirral]

Schleck out of the back. Waaaahhhh. LOL. Biggest farce in cycling - The Schlecks

 

[Parrulo]

wait a sec. . . is that andy actually trying to keep up with the peloton?

that alone is already a major change from last year!!!!

props to him.

p.s. i am being serious

 

[Parrulo]

lol this must have been a bye bye for kittel and guardini by movistar

 

[Unkown]

Kittel is just hanging on the back.

 

[biker jk]

Was that Stannard going backwards?

Yeah, or "stingers", as Letterman likes to categorize them all. He seems to have a fascination with the joint, and I'm surprised he hasn't been here

 

[Afrank]

Greipel takes it, by a giant margin.

 

[Unkown]

Greipel by a mile. Perfect lead out by Lotto.

 

[Flux Capacity]

I wasn't concentrating. Where the hell was Goss?

 

[biker jk]

Robbie said Goss was 18th with a few kms to go and too far back.

 

[Afrank]

1. Greipel
2. Demare
3. Renshaw
4. Ponzi
5. Von Hoff
6. Ferrari
7. Pietropolli
8. Boasson Hagen
9. Rojas
10. Dempster

 

[Unkown]

I wasn't concentrating. Where the hell was Goss?

He wasn't close enough to the front of the peloton once they finished the undulating hills near the finish.

 

[Flux Capacity]

" You should be looking for the guy you don't see". Robbie putting Phil in his place.

Ha! Yep, maybe McEwen knows more about bunch sprinting that Philbie. Gold

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Hopefully Demare will get a better leadout on the next flat stage.

 

[Parrulo]

geeezus christ greipel!!!1

where the hell is goss? he better have finished ahead of guardini <_>

 

[Pricey_sky]

I wasn't concentrating. Where the hell was Goss?

Inside the last 1km the said he was down in about 20th, the pace of the last 10k's over those little hills maybe just too much if he isnt in good form.

Impressive from Greipel
