2014 Tour de France, Stage 5: Ypres – Arenberg Porte du Hainaut: 156km

[Amsterhammer]

Good question. Unless they've given up on Mollema.

Because Boom is up front, and riding the cobblestones like a champion..

 

[webvan]

1'52" down for Bertie and Co now.

 

[Pricey_sky]

How far back is Bertie?

1 min 45 at least

 

[Amsterhammer]

How far back is Bertie?

2 min gap to Nibbles.

 

[King Boonen]

How far back is Bertie?

1'52 at last check but is was going out...

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Renshaw FTW !!!!! WTF!!!

 

[go crazy]

Only wish Talansky could have made the final selection. Nibali AND Talansky with 2' on AC would lead to some epic stages!

 

[SafeBet]

Trentin also there.

 

[dduff442]

13kms of cobbles = 750kms of Alps and Pyrenees.

 

[Miburo]

Contador looks terrible, he should be happy if he loses only 2 min but it'll prob be more.

 

[woodburn]

Would have loved to see what would have happened with Froome on the cobbles.

 

[mr. tibbs]

If Canc has good legs, he's playing this very nicely.

That's what I was thinking, too. Sagan burning himself out with little shows of force, while Cancellara hides his nose.

 

[lenric]

Damn, Nibali's winning 2 minutes on Contador.

 

[SKSemtex]

Kwiatko podium for sure.

 

[webvan]

Only wish Talansky could have made the final selection. Nibali AND Talansky with 2' on AC would lead to some epic stages!

Talansky crashed in the second cobbles sector I think, could have been worse...

Can't see other Lampres with Costa? Like Horner?

 

[ILovecycling]

Wandignies is coming,3700m of cobbles,4star!

Sagan or Canc to attack

 

[junkie]

Lieuwe Westra is doing awesome job for Nibs.

 

[ggusta]

yikes ac 1'53" .

 

[Afrank]

13kms of cobbles = 750kms of Alps and Pyrenees.

Nice! Cobbles should be the new norm for the Tour. It's one sure fire way to get some true racing.

 

[mr. tibbs]

There's some Contaporn for LaFlo

 

[ILovecycling]

Saxo domestiques spent

 

[Tournesol]

Entire OPQS still there.

 

[Afrank]

Next sector, go take another minute Nibs!

 

[JimPanzen]

Nibali riding like a boss, will get his *** handed to him in the mountains though

 

[webvan]

Longest pavé secteur now, 3700 meters, poor guys, shaking like leafs!
