at last thanks mate

 

[Lupetto]

alright after Lampre's dominance on stage 1, we have this one coming up which might offer the best race action in the entire event (all invisible to the human eye of course).

Action starts at at 10:50 (CET) and ends approx. 16:30.

Going with Spilak or Kwia here.

 

[theyoungest]

Maybe he won't have to. He's riding super well as shown in Mallorca; I believe he may take the jersey tomorrow already.

Yeah, he attacked with Henao I believe? He should be one of the riders in best shape here.

 

[trevim]

Yeah, he attacked with Henao I believe? He should be one of the riders in best shape here.

Yeah I think Henao went with him and got dropped.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Improved version, thanks.

35km gone, break with 3 minutes or so.

Arnaud Démare (FDJ.fr), Alexandre Pichot (Europcar) e Florian Senechal (Cofidis)

Thanks! Those BMX artists were also in Tavira last year when I went to watch the ITT. Cool stuff! Great for Costa and Lampre to get those wins under the belt early, and gain confidence

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Yeah I think Henao went with him and got dropped.

henao didn't get dropped but kwiatkowski attacked in downhil after group came together with ebh and others.

[trevim]

Pello Bilbao (Caja Rural) attacks and Tony Martin is dropped with 25km to go. Seems like it has been an hard day at the office.

 

[Parrulo]

Didn't even make it to the second cat climb

Today could actually give bigger gaps than Malhão!!!

[Arredondo]

I wonder if Parra get's a chance today.

Kwiat or Rui for the stage win i suppose, can't see a third guy.

And everything back together again with 16 km to go.
