Team meeting before start, lots of heated voices, discussing yesterday's fiasco

 

[Netserk]

Stage winner: No one.

 

[Bavarianrider]

So today's stage is boycotted?

 

[Tragic]

Obvious Adam Hansen win is obvious.

You beat me to it. Hansen from a small group that survives a big break.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

So today's stage is boycotted?

According to Bici they are gonig to ride:
La etapa se va a disputar y saldrán todos los equipos. Esta tarde habrá un comounicado oficial de los equipos.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

So race has started, but are we looking at a slow mo day?

Quintana as a cute pink gnome. This is how to promote cycling. I am actually not kidding.

Did anybody attack whilst the red flag was out at the start

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Close to 70km in, no break yet.

Pace seems high, but most of it performed downhill.

edit:lol, trev

 

[scholar]

Best pun of the day.

Nearly as good as the descent time-trialist a few days back.

 

[Ruby United]

This stage is panning out the exact opposite of what I was expecting, which was 40kmp average and 10-15 man break with 10 minutes at this point

 

[jsem94]

Tinkov is a legend.

 

[Ruby United]

De Ghent and van emden attack
