"third is a new name to us, Perrig Quemeneur (EUC) 1 point"

He's not new, he's just very crap.
Been around for ages, hasn't ever done anything noteworthy

When was the last time Susan made live coverage?

Lombardia, last October. I am no longer with CN on a "full-time" part-time basis, but jump in when needed to help out.

It was new to me, that's for sure. Not the kind of name I would forget.

Aaah... so now you're with them on a part-time part-time basis?

Lovely to have you back!

Might put on some France 3 coverage and read your reports for auld lang syne

I wasn't correcting or anything, just filling in background on him

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

Dane, yes, I was a part-time freelancer before, but it turned out to be the equivalent of full-time job. And after nine years of that, it was enough, and time to move along.

Thanks to all for the lovely words. Now let's get back to discussing the race, altho there is certainly a lack of real action at the moment, isn't there?

 

[BigMac]

Bouhanni crashed. Do you have any info if he is out? I'm having a déjà vu.

Edit: He is back on his bike. For the stage win. Allez Nacer!

All we need now is for Valverde to have his spring killed by an injury for the 3rd year in a row and the gypsy prophecy is complete

Bouhanni crashed

Commentator's curse

 

[BigMac]

Van Garderen out. Reasons to be told.

Ouch!

Haha! Let us hope not.

 

[Pharazon]

van Garderen has abandoned.

 

[Wallenquist]

TJVG abandoned

I dunno. Where did the live-coverage go?

 

[GuyIncognito]

TJVG abandoned

Not that he could've done anything on this route

 

[BigMac]

The race is on fire, several crashes already!

Aaaaand there goes another one! Kiryienka, Cattaneo and Serpa crashed.

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

I dunno. Where did the live-coverage go?

It's still there: http://live.cyclingnews.com/


And yes, I do feel like I jinxed things.

Frank Schleck just had a puncture. Won't be easy to get back in with the infernal pace up front.

Thanks a lot! Great quality.

Thanks. I keep forgetting that it's not just the Things in a big-red-line that's being live-coveraged...

You're in an open-air blimp?

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

Of course!

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Ok, there's no wind. Back to Roma Maxima...

 

[Tom T.]

Why does there have to be 4 motorcycles trying to come up the left side of the peloton?

 

[spalco]

Traffic jam.
