Re: Re:

what a route,,,,,,,,,,,,blearghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I know. There are some opportunities for GC guys to attack but I doubt it'll happen

Well with these guys looking to boss things I believe the same:

With a harder race they still would have done it.

 

[Poursuivant]

Bookies have Contador as favourite with Froome and VAlverde as joint second favourite.

Shame about the parcours, at least we have Thursday.

The bookies are wrong.

 

[manafana]

TVG has it to prove here 3rd last year he had a good stage win if memory serves me right over Bardet. Valls been under rated could easily top 5 or better here

The fog and snow last year means no Valter 2000.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Going with D Martin for the GC.

I agree with you. I don't foresee much here, cold or not. as for

Well with these guys looking to boss things I believe the same:

Ugh, I honestly think I'd prefer Lance Armstrong to come out of retirement and win it rather than any of them. I'd almost chose Horner, or JVDB, FFS. Never has a team made me want to trade in my passport…wonder if I can get Spanish citizenship?

Since I don't see AC doing much, I kind of hope Vvde provides me with entertainment. Wish Jrod were here though, got a soft spot for him.

Course is just so under inspiring, not sure I can summon the energy to watch...

 

[SafeBet]

Parcours would be perfect for Samu, if it was 2010. Still good for Dan Martin to maybe pull a surprise.
I'm expecting a good showing from Diego Rosa, especially if the weather is bad.

 

[happytramp]

Re: Re:

Jrod for the win...I hope. Doesn't look hard enough for AC and Froome imo.

Purito out of the race due to illness

So no we have 3 guys in competition for the win: Alejandro vs Valverde vs Belmonte

Dan Martin officially wins the most underrated rider award?

 

[jens_attacks]

richie should own this. molina is enough to do a willunga

When all hopes rest on this you just know that a race is doomed

 

[Jagartrott]

13 minutes advantage for a front group of three with a little over 100 km to go.
Group contains Rolland, Declerq and Paterski.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Like the course

 

[wirral]

Paterski finished in the leading bunch of 26 in Milan - San Remo and hits the break in Catalunya the following day. Old school hard man, Kelly would nod approvingly.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Live coverage delayed - according to the live stream at http://www.ccma.cat/tv3/directe/esport3/ (Geo-restricted)

HAHHHAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAAA, Catalunya screws up the tv on day one.

 

[webvan]

Still nothing...Rolland +2 with an 11' lead, wow !

Not very entertaining courses...Didn't they use to have a mountain ITT in Catalunya ? I remember Ulle struggling there in hist last years, 2005 I think...

 

[JRanton]

To think these lot want independence...

They couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery never mind run their own country.

 

[DBotero]

I think they had too many drinks last night after Barca win and forgot about this race

 

[the sceptic]

Re:

HAHHHAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAAA, Catalunya screws up the tv on day one.

luckily they also made a boring course so this is a win win for everyone

 

[webvan]

So instead Eurosport are showing a program on another "fiasco" (so far) the Cofidis Train built for Bouhanni !

At least we have TV coverage now.

Oh.

 

[Jagartrott]

[TourOfSardinia]
