Nah, I was referring to Team Sky in Manchester!

What language and how long are the highlights?

(please dont say "Dutch")

2m26 and dutch

English ones wont be up till tommorow when SBS put their up. I would have thought your dutch was pretty good by now.

 

[Ryaguas]

Oh Hitch is only reading this topic... hey the winner in Oman was......... nah just kidding...

Tomorrow could be Greipel's day... or an attack in the last hill could succeed... maybe Gilbert?

 

[Ferminal]

Matthews FTW!

Wouldn't the eurosport one be better than SBS?

 

[Ferminal]

There is the SBS video up now

Umm why am I posting Oman video here lol!

 

[Winterfold]

Hitch even I guessed the Oman winner today - I'm sure you did too - even if it is a bit painful to admit on here

I already guessed it was Steve Ebh. But since your saying its painful to admit on here then it must be Robert Gesink

(id rather you did not confirm nor deny my suspicions) Since ive already survived about 12 hours and only a few more till i go to sleep i probably shouldnt be on here, but for some reason, i still am.

 

[Winterfold]

I'm saying nothing about that

Dim - Ta for the highlights as ever - difficult to tell for sure but looks like AC was really going for it at one point so even better for Cummings

Am I reading the profile wrong or does the 4th stage fit Gilbert like a glove?

Stage 4 profile

You are reading well, what could be wrong is the profile itself

Gilbert might even be let to get away a bit. Sky will be too busy trying to figure out how to force the pace enough to put time between them and Tony Martin

 

[taiwan]

Could Sky put Gerrans in the break (don't know what current situation is)? It'd be pretty difficult to drop Martin on this intermediate parcours, as he seems to be fit enough.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Situation on the road:

6 riders frente da corrida:
César Fonte (Barbot-Efapel)
Kevyn Ista (Cofidis)
Johan Coenen (TopSport Vlaanderen)
Sergey Lagutin (Vacansoleil)
Grégory Rast (Radioshack)
Joaquín Sobrino (Caja Rural)

They are 3'50" ahead of the péloton, which is led by Sky.

Ricardo Mestre (Tavira-Prio) has won the GPM outright now, all he has to do is not do a Txurruka and finish the race, while César Fonte (Barbot-Efapel) has passed Thomas de Gendt and will win the Metas Volantes, so despite not being as present in the breaks as I expected the Portuguese teams will take at least 2 jerseys home.

 

[Iker_Baqueiro]

It will be interesting to see if Sky can really force the race to try to drop Tony Martin

Gruppo compatto at 2km from the line

Andre Greipel! It's Greipel! Wins

 

[Ryaguas]

Greipel wins!!!!

 

[taiwan]

Greipel wins!!!!

Really? Lotto are playing with us. Good stuff. Monkey's off the back, it would seem. They might have a pretty effective partnership with Phil Gil and Greipel.

 

[Ryaguas]

Awesome 1st of the season for Greipel! He wins before ManxMan =D

Live ticker said that they didnt see Cummings in the finish!
