[BigMac]

Travis McCabe for the win.

So many attacks. I love this.

Hearing the announcer trying to figure out the order on the road a second ago is pretty funny.

they're completely clueless

 

[May0maniac]

This is the reason why I really like this race, most stages are really fun to watch. By far the best of the bigger American races.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Any sign of Horner, any one?

I think Frank and Tim do quite fine tbf.

Everybody hurting now. Pleoton very streched for a moment there, ain't no trains out there.

BMC will try again no doubt. Maybe Taylor can do another of this late attacks.

Re: Re:

Frankie Andreu has such an announcer-y voice.

Haha, I like it. He and Tim make a nice duo.

There's a little bump in the circuit it seems.

Commentating isn't bad but they seem to be a bit confused about what exactly is going on. Seems like they don't get a lot of information about the situation of the race, yesterday for example it seemed like the gap was inaccurate for a while

Yeah, not much info. Time gap was again wrong today one could tell.

Better than Denmark where they kept increasing the distance left graphic.

I Am Ben King drilling it hard for his mate Alex. He is a team player. He is Ben King.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Colbrelli ftw!

Re:

Saw one tall Airgas there, it seemed like him.

@TMP Lol at that. Didn't watch it today.

 

[BigMac]

Kocjan! This guy is amazing, he can climb well, top sorinter uphill, and now this. That second behind Hofland last year was not by chance.

Travis with a very nice leadout.

Great finale.

Not sure, he may be going for the Ninja rider award this year.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Kocjan! Always thought it was a pity that he didn't win a lot at Euskaltel. Colbrelli was badly placed at the end, a pity.

Ted King (King Edward) is the one who keeps reminding people of who he is

There's only one King. He Is Ben.

Edward has the humour.

edit: The speaker's tone is hilarious.

No mention of Horner during the actual race so far on FS1, but he does seem to offer his RV to the team according to CN.

The awards ceremony is so awkward (as if it's the first time they do this stuff) but these riders all look so cool! I think European races have a lot to learn from these American races in terms of trackers, presenting, sponsoring of even the smallest things (like Race Information, presented by Scott), choosing fan favorites, ...

I like it because it looks very genuine, very local. Not a pretentious-chique ceremony full of fake smiles.

Let it all out!

Re:

Not even the podium girls seem to know what they are doing/wearing compared to the very polished Euro races...

But what the hell, this just makes it so much more raw, and possibly, "real"?

 

[TMP402]

Yeah the ceremony was very loud and crass but rather endearing.

 

[BigMac]

Tomorrow:

 

[LanLions]

I'm going for Schleck tomorrow, is looking good and was off the front today. I'd also say he's a good tip for the Vuelta, surprised that he's 350/1.

 

[manafana]

the yank races do know how to keep sponsors happy, could do with more races having a regional or national jersey for GC too. Like the swiss have.

 

[mr. tibbs]

Rosskpof active today. He earned his BMC contract at this race last year, glad to see that he's coming back with a vengeance.
