Have to admit I've been hoping for more.

I pity those who don't have Matt Keenan and Robbie McEwen ... Seriously quality broadcasting.

Which network are they on? Something Aussie?

SBS in Australia (live FTA TV and streaming (georestricted)). Keenan and McEwen commentate up to about 50km to go, then P&P take over. This is McEwen's first year, Keenan has been around for a few years.

That's what happens when you play the "Astana Tactical Incompetence" drinking game.

If you play the Lampre Tactical Imcompetence drinking game, you die.

Yates :/

Adam Yates in trouble unless he's had a mechanical?

Danish commentary reports that Matt Hayman had a mechanical. I think he is having a really bad day unfortunantly

Take a shot every time you see Rui Costa isolated!
OK, take a sip every time you see Rui Costa isolated!
OK, take a sniff every time you see Rui Costa isolated!

*death ensues nonetheless*

had a few team mates with him

Full gas to the base, vai Astana!!

 

[RattaKuningas]

Astana turns it up.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Just reported bike change for Yates

If he didn't have a mechanical he's going to fall out of the Top 10 today.

Oh bike change it was.

Thank you! I've been looking for more ENG alternatives and that might come in handy. I do like Ned and David on ITV4 as I've mentioned in other threads. Getting seriously tired of Kirby like most of the british posters. I hear P+P aren't much better though.

I do have free access via RTP play streaming in Portuguese and Marco Chagas is at least decent and knowledgeable. But I really dislike Mendonça so I usually try to follow the english language coverage.

Yates now stuck behind.

Great news!

 

[Pricey_sky]

Could still be a disaster for Yates, stuck behind a long line of riders at the base of the climb as Astana drill it.

 

[rick james]

Tj cracked already

Re:

Bad moment, right when Astana was going full and then caught behind a split because of Dumoulin's crash as well.

 

[Chomsky]

Nice to see Astana attacking after a mechanical once again. It's hard to ever to root for an Astana rider.
