2013 Santos Tour Down Under Stage 5: McLaren Vale -> Old Wilunga Hill, 151.5km

[Ferminal]

I wonder if Sky will realize that they have absolutely no incentive to pull back a breakway if the riders in it are far away in GC. The best thing that could happen for them is if a breakaway group takes all the bonus seconds.

Rabo will have to work that's why Bobridge is trying to get in.

De Gendt and Marczinsky paving the way for the victory of Rafa Valls

 

[HiCadence]

My pick: Bradley Wiggins.

Dark horse: Tiernen Locke.

Very fast start so far. The breakaway is also quite strong so they will have to be careful to keep them together.

I'd imagine that Radioshack will try the same tactic as last year on Wilunga, ride a super hard pace over the plateau of Wilunga Hill where they can use the crosswinds to split the field.

Dont know if there are streams with a bit better quality.

Good to see the Carrots up the front, hopefully one of their boys can do well.

Thanks but i prefer my one, the one from sky sport is 1 minute behind, and the one i posted you can choose for HD (right bottom), if you do so the quality is better then the sky sports one.

Didnt notice you could change the quality when i posted the link.

Ooo look, Rabo riding on the front; Sure I was mocked for suggesting they would have to do the chasing.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Lol, with 15 guys within 15 seconds off the lead I think Sky won't get any help at all in the chase

I'm sure when you wake up you'll have a smiley which expresses your contrition rather than your smug incorrectness.

So who's going to attack?

Indeed, Disappointing.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

I think people have worked out your best bet is to win by a few seconds on the final climb rathering than using energy at this stage.

Yeah, Eisel & Sutton's climing pace really sucked the life out of it, other teams just couldn't compete...

 

[Unkown]

Grrrr i just hate Sky, hopefully this means that Radioshack, EE, and Blanco have lots of guys fresh to go crazy on the final ascent.

 

[Afrank]

It was always going to be a lame 1st time over, none of the GC guys were going to commit suicide by going for the win on the first ascent (surprisingly not even Machado, maybe he has learned).

 

[Parrulo]

sky allowing the break to go to eat up the bonus seconds . . . logical decision

some1 better pick it up

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Onus on Rabo to chase again.

 

[Unkown]

Kash and Moreno trying to bridge the gap, lol Vino attacks everyone has to be liking this

EDIT: And they get caught

 

[Unkown]

Wow 100 km/h on the descent, just flying.

 

[the asian]

There's going to be a Kash attack !

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Radioshack drilling it without having Machado on their wheel...
