Nothing major happened GC wise. A few riders left the race because of crash. Amongst them also Torres.

Yeah, too bad about Torres, he was doing pretty good this season; this would have been a good race for him methinks.

Re:

Break of the day

Where'd you watch this? I'd really like a livestream, especially for tomorrow's stage.

 

[johnymax]

Live ticker for 3rd stage: http://www.siol.net/sportal/kolesarstvo/po_sloveniji/v_zivo/2015/06/3_stage_dobrovnik_trije_kralji.aspx

Apparently there will be live coverage. But I don't believe I can find a stream. If anybody has more luck than me it's supposed to be on Slovenian channel Šport tv 2 starting at 15:15 CET.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Stream is in the live ticker, but havent seen any live cycling yet

 

[bajbar]

No broadcast (so far) due to extremely bad weather.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Conditions are appalling at the finish.

 

[BigMac]

We got some images live, very floppy tho.

[johnymax]

Now there are some images from the heli. Better than nothing

Some 30 riders left. Polanc is drilling at the front for Ulissi.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Wait is that Polanc setting the pace in the peloton?

Who's he riding for? Ulissi hasn't shown any climbing form this year.....

Ulissi is riding comfortabely in the group. Perhaps that hard Giro helped him in his climbing.

 

[johnymax]

Why is Polanc working at the front

 

[BigMac]

I can't see crap. Is Bongiorno in the group?

Re: Re:

He didn't show any climbing form in the Giro though, unlike Polanc who won a mountain stage with a good effort from the break. Sure, maybe Ulissi will do well, but it kind of sucks Polanc isn't getting a chance to go for the GC in his home race, despite doing a good prologue and showing good form and having done well in this race before.

 

[Arredondo]

Pelizotti, Chaparro, Ulissi, Polanc, Silin.

That are some of the riders i saw

 

[kenk09]

Puccio, Earle, Nieve are the 3 Sky riders.

 

[DBotero]

I spotted Nieve and at least another Sky.

I agree. I thought this was the ideal race for Polanc to get a free role. Or to be the leader.

But perhaps he feels his form isn't good enough. And if Ulissi feels good, this stage is suited to him. He's by far the most explosive guy in this race.

 

[johnymax]

Helicopter had to land so no images right now

 

[johnymax]

Roglic attacks.

 

[johnymax]

Roglic, Rogina and Nieve.
