Re:

Skujins had trouble standing and fell over when he initially tried to remount his bike. The neutral mechanic then assisted Skujins and pushed him back into the race. Monin said his car came up alongside the rider about a minute later, then Skujins' team car and the medical car arrived another 1:45 later and were able to coax the rider off his bike.

So the video of of him stopping and getting into his team car was shown delayed in the stream? The quote above gives about 3 minutes from crash to Tom pulled, while it was 16 or so as aired in the stream.

Watching it live it definitely seemed like he was on the road for 10-20 minutes before being pulled.

According to this article it was about 15 minutes from the crash until the team was finally able to get to him and pull him out, with frantic messages of "Get Toms off the bike" flying around in the meantime.

Re:

and a few decent climbers, Thiago Machado, Britton and Kennaugh + other quality riders like Trentin, Lindeman, Jaramillo, it's a strong group, but I don't know if everyone is willing to do his share of work.

 

[staubsauger]

Kennaugh's probably there as a relais station for Ian Boswell!

 

[killswitch]

Kennaugh dropped by the guy who was also in the break yday.

 

[jaylew]

I miss these climbs so much. I used to live 15 minutes away and GMR was my favorite ride.

Re:

To be fair, that guy is pulling out time on everyone right now. :lol:

Re:

A bit of a surprise, but Britton is actually a pretty good climber.

 

[webvan]

Gesink must feel confident to have his guys pull like that...

You mean Bennet?

 

[shalgo]

Talansky looking good. Could Cannondale finally get another WT win today?

 

[jaylew]

Acevedo gone

Was that the pope?

Bye Gesink

 

[woodburn]

Gesink is gone. Job done.

 

[jaylew]

8 left

 

[woodburn]

Talansky just has no explosion.

Edit: Well, now he has a gap.

Edit Edit: Now joined by Majka and Bennett.

 

[killswitch]

N-th acceleration by Talansky.

 

[jaylew]

Go, AT!

 

[killswitch]

Majka riding a smart race.

Re:

If he keeps attacking he'll explode pretty soon

 

[WheelofGear]

Majka is the Gerrans of the climbers. Just following wheels.

Yep, Leipheimer without the TT

Re:

Always. You'd expect him to attack here with the lesser competition.
