Re: Re:

Break: Przemyslaw Niemiec (Lampre-Merida), Davide Villella (Cannondale-Garmin), Walter Pedraza (Team Colombia), Bert Jan Lindeman (LottoNL-Jumbo), José Gonçalves (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) and Matteo Montaguti (Ag2r-La Mondiale)

Gap 3:40

2 years ago I wuld have thought that by now Villella wouuld be one of the favourites for such a stage. I hope that Pelucchi hasn't crasshed too hard.

3 years ago I would've thought that Moser would have already won an Ardennes classic and top 3-ed in Liege and Lombardia, and be the favourite for this stage. Time hasn't been kind to them.

Cannondale wasn't exactly a great team and when Slongo went to Astana after the 2013 Season the whole team declined, Formolo was te only exception.
Moser has shown some signs of life this year an Villella still could get back on track, but many talents sucked before th team merged with Garmin, Cannondale was just not a great team.

Live images now.

Slightly windy day, not an excessive heat and the locals of Movistar controlling the race at the front of the peloton.

 

[Carols]

Talansky crashes, back on the bike. Don't know where he is right now. Movistar a huge presence on the front.

 

[Carols]

Teams lined up, Movi, Katusha, Sky, Saxo all single file......

Niemiec the Lampre rider, Iam rider still down

Pozzo in the 2nd group

Katusha and Movistar making sure Nibali is no longer a GC contender.
