[Dazed and Confused]

Bardet crashed yesterday, and AG2R will be riding in support of Betancourt

Maybe, depends on how many team members are around after 120km. You really need guys such as Vasil and EBH to do the heavy lifting. Don't see these types of riders on ag2r, so Bardet could be forced to work earlier than planned.

All this depends on how hard the stages are raced of course. If everybody waits until the very end, ag2r will be fine.

after today there are no more hard stages pretty much. tomorrow will be a massprint and sunday isn't too hard either

Disagree about all points, but shall see.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Still no break after more than 50km covered, looks like they're racing pretty hard.......

Must be really annoying for those well down to have Keukeliere and Vachon in the break.

Any break would be doomed though, since boni seconds are too important.

that's what you always get in the seconds race in paris nice

 

[jens_attacks]

this might be finally a proper raced hard stage of paris-nice
45 km/h average speed for now, big group ahead...i doubt that we'll have 2009 fireworks but there will certainly be some tired guys at the finish

 

[Amsterdam]

They're riding pretty fast. Hopefully we'll see the 1st cat climb on tv..

Belgian TV will be live in 20 minutes

It is geolocalised though

 

[Dazed and Confused]

70km to go, gap about 2 minutes.
Pace still pretty good.

In about 15km the leaders will hit Cote des Tuilieres with 2,2 @7,8%

With a bit of luck some weaker riders can go out the back here already.

I think Thomas will be isolated half way up the Cat 1 climb today.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Astana driving the peloton on the cat 2 hill.

Gap about 1 minute now.

Tommy V with Chavanel goes!!

[jens_attacks]

[Dazed and Confused]

No streams yet, right?

Another 15 mins I think.

 

[Roude Leiw]

No streams yet, right?

Belgians are late, will go live in 10 min

 

[Dazed and Confused]

25s for Chava and Voeckler on peloton.

Front group with 1 minute over peloton

 

[burning]

Bernaudeau will drive the break until Fayence
