Porte was definitely gapped but probably won't award the difference

Damn, Lobato came out of nowhere. Looked like he was 10 or so back when the sprint started.

IS Paul speaking a combination of Italian and Spanish?

Cannondale and Orica went far too early, Izaguirre nearly took second

 

[Captain Serious]

I thought Robbie was gunna translate

Is that in HD on Ch 90? Jeez, that's nice

Sherwen in Spengalian again.

 

[jaylew]

Didn't expect Movistar to finish with two on the podium. Both Dumoulins in top 10.

I think the only thing we can say for certain is that him and Phil are getting stuck into the Penfolds

Yes it is....enjoying it on my new TV!

Lobato came from a long way back.

Sky ran out of men and so did BMC for the end. OGE and CG timed it well, though CG ran out of men very quickly in the run in to the finish.

Lobato came from a long way back.

Very strong win, Evans caught out of position but still did well.

 

[Yingge]

Should be some time gaps there - that finishing bunch wasn't all that big.

Ligget said "De Gendt has not had a great season since then (2011-TDU) until this breakaway".
A rider who came 3rd in the Giro in 2012, and even in 2013 came 1st in a stage at Catalunya and 3rd in the first TDF ITT.

Yep, Liggett's getting stuck into the Grange

Yep, we're lucky

Great win by Lobato. Tommorow's stage is harder.

Torrens Hill is short but steep. Simon Geschke-terrain.

And the breakaway today got him and his team some TV exposure, but ended up costing him 13:43 on GC - seems he went out the back in a big way after being caught.

Kittel finished in that group too, so end of his GC hopes.

Kittel had GC hopes? That's funny

 

[Tournesol]

Didn't see the stage,anyone know what happened to Haussler?

 

[Jspear]

Didn't see the stage,anyone know what happened to Haussler?

Nothing in particular...His team just didn't have control towards the end. He didn't get a flat or crash or anything, just wasn't there in the end. Ended up being 23rd.

 

[42x16ss]

Didn't see the stage,anyone know what happened to Haussler?

He lost his wheel on the run in. Must have been squeezed out.

 

[Tournesol]

Thanks folks,just not his day i guess.

De Gendt will become Floyd De Gendt and crush the peleton

In fairness, he did mention the fact that he was 3rd at the Giro a couple times.
