Re: Re:

I know he was dropped on the climb....where did you hear this?

twitter ...

With 63km's remaining, jack bobridge still leads! orica_greenedge on the front of the peloton 9:07 minutes behind.

 

[Jancouver]

On lap 13 @JackBobridge has 7:00 on @badger83 and 9:00 on 29 rider group. 5 Orica-GreenEdge riders lead chase.

Bobridge is absolutely killing it, great ride!!

 

[Squire]

Apparently it's Durbridge doing the work on the front, Simon Clarke abandonded. Who's left who can win? Gerrans, Dennis, Haas?

Edit: Now Dennis is chasing... Is Porte still in the peloton? Anyway, it'll take quite something to pull back Bobridge it seems.

Yep, crazy...perhaps the heat is part of the problem.

Only 26 riders left

 

[Jancouver]

Orica had 10 guys in this race ... their cockiness lost them the race

I'm happy they fu**ed it up, at least, I won't have to be watching the boring wheelsucker Gerrans wearing the Aussie national jersey all year long.

Dennis and Meyers are 6.24 away from Bobridge.

Re:

The remaining peloton of 9 riders cross the 2 lap to go mark, 8'11" behind

 

[Jspear]

The peleton has 9 riders in it.

 

[The Hegelian]

9 left in the peloton! Bobridge is home.

 

[Ferminal]

Bobridge is crazy when he's on one of these days...

Strange how the race blew apart though, only a tiny bit quicker than recent years, it's hot but not stupidly hot.

 

[Jspear]

Meyers has gotten away from Dennis.

"Never happened before in a RR"

Yeh Bobridge 2011 and Durbridge 2013 didn't happen...

 

[Jancouver]

This is funny, they updated the Wikipedia page before he even made it to the finish

 

[42x16ss]

Bobridge struggling, Meyer chasing like a freight train. Too little too late though from the look.

A lot of guys will be wishing they tried something! Drapac should be kicking themselves

They were impressive rides, but this was right from the gun.

 

[Jspear]

Meyer's 2nd
Pat Lane 3rd


Very impressive ride by Bobridge. Orica should be very embarrassed.

McCarthy 5th

What happen to my boy Rohan Dennis on the last lap?

Decided to DNF
