2013 Tour of Alberta, 3rd - 8th September (2.1)

stage 1 was comedy gold, they didn't even know themselves what they were showing.

To be fair, they did repave the downhill section of the prologue explicitly for the Tour (they mentioned this in the coverage).

And if there weren't pot holes on the road, how would we know it was really Edmonton?

For Paris-Roubaix they get a cobblestone, but for winning in Edmonton they should have given Sagan a piece of asphalt with a pot hole in it.

what a nice trophy it would be

 

[SKSemtex]

50 km to go, break 2 riders, peloton + 5.00, tailwind

Some of Cannondale boys will be done after this whole race

Any streams?

[SKSemtex]

22 km, peloton +3:30, Argos doing Cannondale job, very good

 

[Netserk]

Now it's 2:15

Seems like the break will stay away.

Seems like the break will stay away.

I am afraid you are right.

 

[Afrank]

Haven't been watching until now, have Cannondale done any chasing?

 

[SKSemtex]

Possibly.

His small team.

And the winner is Gloin22

 

[Afrank]

Looks like Sagan's overall lead will be safe.

 

[Afrank]

Dillier wins.

 

[maltiv]

So, how did 5 Cannondale riders, even with help from others, not manage to catch those 2 guys?

 

[SKSemtex]

Dillier wins.

No. Sagan loses.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

There's no stopping the BMC winning machine.

 

[Moviefan1203]

Dillier wins.

I think this kid is going to win a lot of races in his career. He's a great talent.

Game over. Strong riders from strong teams

Dennis leader. Gesink virtually 4th.

Guess Gesink should specialize in short flat stage races now

 

[Cyivel]

So are we getting live coverage of this today, it's in the Eurosport EPG don't think it was yesterday.

Nah I'd rather see him sign Androni and ride Settimana Lombarda again, like in the good old times. And regain that awesome accellerion and climbing from his U23 days.

Now he's almost pack fodder in GT's.
