[King Boonen]

heh, the mechanic did the change faster than Rolland

That's kind of the point of having mechanics.

What are the chances that the OPQS/Belkin drive splits the front group into two?

Gap on its way out again

 

[Kender]

Orica now leading the charge

They split the second group

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Pace goes up in the peloton again

 

[BigMac]

Cunego/Voeckler at 5''

 

[King Boonen]

So much for an alliance against Armstrong in the mountains then

This isn't the clinic.

 

[spalco]

The gap is growing out again. Valverde will have a bit of anger in his belly on the weekend hopefully.

 

[Ferminal]

The massive engine of GAUTIER will bring this back.

 

[sultanofhyd]

The massive engine of GAUTIER will bring Rolland back to Valverde

Fixed

The gap is growing out again. Valverde will have a bit of anger in his belly on the weekend hopefully.

This will cost him a ****load of energy though

 

[Pulpstar]

Gautier ?

Is he good or is that sarcastic ?

 

[Kender]

Chase groups are screwed now. 2 small groups both having to work are slower than 1 bigger group

 

[xrayvision]

The massive engine of GAUTIER will bring this back.

Not even a Canc or Martin could bring it back. The wind you know...

i think saxo will put the hammer down once valverde makes contact.

 

[bylbyl]

valverde is really stupid .... why does he break the second group??? that's the BEST way to ensure he never gets back lmao

 

[murali]

lopez dropped by pelaton again. can't understand why they included him in the sky team

 

[BigMac]

News say Cav got droped,

 

[sultanofhyd]

i think saxo will put the hammer down once valverde makes contact.

No, they will want Movistar's help in the third week.

 

[GroupDK]

strong win..

saxo need to push now, this is what they waited for a win to Work with and test the skyteam around froome.

the loalities over for valverde cant canceled there day-intent for the race...

 

[Broth3r]

Ho ho ho. BREAK BREAK BREAK.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Porte dropped by Team Belkin

 

[Kender]

valeverde is really stupid .... why does he breaks the second group??? thta's the BEST way to ensure he never gets back lmao

He didn't cause the split. O'grady hit the front of the second group and he pulled to hard and caused a split

 

[Tigerion]

Just checking in, I'm guessing that guessing that Goss got dropped with Kittel?

 

[bylbyl]

total havoc all over now --- i like it

 

[cocteau_ireland]

From here to the finish, how much remains exposed?
