so will tomorrow go on as planned?

 

[Netserk]

I hope not, I want Kristoff to win the overall

Re:

Why oh why, of all the Norwegian.

 

[DBotero]

Another one for Kristoff,tomorrow will be hard but as Sagan showed everything is possible.Nordhaug normally should be the best of the Norwegian stars,he was in great shape in Yorkshire,EBH can climb when he wants,but i hope Kristoff will try at least,following Hushovd steps requires from him some improvements on the climbing department.I really hope one of these guys will win the final GC,don't care which one.Could be better for them if tomorrow stage will avoid that *** Everest

Does anyone have a live stream that works on android?
Too bad that the tv2 sumo app works only if you have an account...

 

[markene2]

Holy *** this stage is great! Attacks after attack

 

[maltiv]

Jesper Hansen first over the top, followed by Lopez.

Insane winds right now, so this is a climb for the strong men, not for pure climbers. EBH still within reach ahead of the descent.

 

[markene2]

Hansen won ahead of EBH

 

[ciranda]

Jesper Hansen is a talented climber who for some reason rarely gets to do races with mountains. Great win even if it's in a small race, especially liked how strong he was on the descent.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Gotta say, this was a brilliant stage.
Congrats to Hansen with a very fine solo win.

Perfect setup for the last two stages methinks.

 

[Ricco']

Mollema

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I don't think Mollema is riding for any more than some race rythm here so I wouldn't take his result so seriously

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

This stage was pretty epic. The climb reminded me of the Albulapass a little bit.

Re:

It did? I didn't watch the stage yet, but that sounds great.

 

[jens_attacks]

yes it was pretty great. i laughed my asz off seeing the spectators in iglus with gloves and these guys in lycra riding lol

unfortunately, i had to live with 15 km to go but it was pretty great action

later edit:freudian slip

 

[DBotero]

I'm disappointed that Kristoff and Nordhaug lost so much time,but I'm happy that EBH showed his climbing skills,though not enough to beat that Hansen guy.

 

[neineinei]

Imingfjell: 24 km, average 4.3%
Rålia: 4.7 km, average 8.5%
Finishing climb to Havsdalen: 2,3 km, the last 2 km average 7%.

 

[mrhender]

Will Hansen keep the lead to the end you reckon? I haven't seen the race..

Re:

Dunno, if there are timebonuses EBH could be dangerous.

 

[neineinei]

Bob and Pim are up the road with a 5 min gap.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

What?! Bob has 6:15 with 38km to go. He's only 1:40 down in GC I think so they better start chasing hard!

 

[Baldinger]

For some reason Jungels is going full ***.

EDIT: Ah okay... now he looks a bit tired.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Okay Saxo and MTN now chasing hard and Jungels looks to be out of juice. He isn't gonna make it it seems......
