Why did he attack then?

Yes, a great position for Oss... however he's 17 seconds down on GC on most other members of the front group.janraaskalt said:Nice position for Oss, not needing to work in the frontgroup as team member of race leader Hushovd.

No bonifications.Caruut said:What are the bonifications? The boy can sprint a bit, after all.
Caruut said:For the same reason any team-mate of a GC contender ever gets into the breakaway - to cover the group and hope for a stage win if they drag him to the line.
I did not notice that he lost some seconds yesterday I suppose he's the wrong team member in the break...theyoungest said:Yes, a great position for Oss... however he's 17 seconds down on GC on most other members of the front group.

Pentacycle said:Superb organisation and coverage here.
Pentacycle said:With 70 kms to go it's a bit hopeless to think you'll be dragged to the line by Boom only. Oss is riding purely for himself here, he might not get a chance like this for a while. He was clearly cooperating with Boom, Oss is obviously trying to win this himself.
Boom is still there as well, he's a worse climber than Hushovd.maltiv said:Will probably be too hard for Hushovd given how hard they seem to have raced today.

Caruut said:Too bad for Oss, then. Anyone who could outsprint him in the front group?
Caruut said:Anyone else's stream just showing the finish line?
