Lol, back to the language school for you I think.
Scouse accents are easy man you should hear Geordie.

Wouldn't say Cav has a scouse accent, though you can get the ferry to IOM from Liverpool!

I actually have the completely other impression. Cavendish might be even on the decline. At least the gap between him and many others is beginning to get smaller.

Drawing conclusions like that on February 5th just makes you look daft.

Stage 4 betting preview


could be good stage tomorrow, some actual turns and changes of direction hopefully we get some winds to make it interesting.

Coming from Scouse Land myself I would say he's got a Scouse accent. When I raced up in Liverpool in the 70s various Manx riders would come over regularly and they all had Scouse accents.

And they're off.

So what's been happening so far ?

 

[karaev]

any english feed ?

 

[spalco]

No feed at all so far I think.

 

[karaev]

al jazeera sport is now on...Grivko,Smukulis and one more in the Breakway.

 

[Cyivel]

Not English but works for me

[Cyivel]

Lang is the other one in the break

 

[karaev]

4 mins and 23 km....Bet365 give Smukulis first chance to win!

 

[spalco]

4 mins and 23 km....Bet365 give Smukulis first chance to win!

Possible, the peloton is clearly very concernced anyway.

 

[Cyivel]

Gap down to 3min 20s, come down 1m 40s in last 8kms

 

[wirral]

Grivko and Smukes are dangerous for the GC. Break cannot survive.

 

[karaev]

They change it now...Cav is massive favourite again!

 

[jens_attacks]

sherwen's law will be trashed today

 

[auscyclefan94]

28km to go and because of very little wind. We are going to have a bunch sprint.

 

[karaev]

1.Cav
2.Viviani
3.Guardini

But I hope Viviani beats em all!!

 

[Peccio89]

2.05 at minus 15km. They still have some chance, but a lot of team are working very hard right now.

 

[al_pacino]

over a minute lost in 4k.

 

[spalco]

over a minute lost in 4k.

Yeah, the peloton is absolutely drilling it.

 

[Cyivel]

5 minutes in 20kms, good going.

 

[Peccio89]

interesting thing will be that top sprinters team will be tired to set up a proper train: some underdog team might be able to take the lead in the final kms
