What time is it in Portugal now? Finish is planned at 14.30 - 14.50 local time. We'll wait an hour?

The AToC is taking over the world. Google translate returned "Tour of California" when I translated an update containing "Volta ao Algarve"

Live feed is working well for me btw, I think the clue was to connect early. Not the most frequent updates though. Any cycling history is probably not being written anyway.

60km remaining, breakaway 3 min ahead.

 

[Grzdylu]

do you know their names?

Arturo Mora (Caja Rural), Christian Meier (United Health Care), Ricardo Mestre (Tavira-Prio) and César Fonte (Barbot-Efapel)

gap is about 3 min 15 sec.

Garmin Cervelo is working at the front of peloton. Farrar or Fisher for the win.

Gazzett is doing a live report, too: http://www.gazzetta.it/Ciclismo/16-02-2011/contador-oggi-gruppo-80173624015.shtml

Edit: Although it actually looks like more of a Contador in the Algarve live ticker....

Hello Daotec

 

[Parrulo]

I dont think LS lives in Spain. For one he said his Spanish was weak whereas he uses German and Portugese on these boards.

I always thought LS lived in Britain as he had seen some shows which are exclusive to the bbc and hence would be very difficult and probably not worth it to watch outside of her Majesties lands.

And ACF, i know from the point of view of Australia all our european countries seem small, but Portugal isnt that small that simply living there means you can pop out and watch the Tour of Algarve, which is in the very south

Also how long is our resident cycling messenger and cryptic poster out for?

lol

ya i am from portugal and in no way could i watch the volta ao algarve. i live in the north(oporto, cus i am in college there) and algarve is in the south so its a few hundred km's.

but the funniest part is that algarve is the southest part of portugal and my hometown is at the exact opposite of the country being the northest part of portugal.

p.s. daotec banned XD

never really understood how some1 who can't write 2 words of English posted so much.

Cool, looking forward to it.

[Ryaguas]

wow.... DAOTEC insulting??? or "insulting"? I'd like to see the posts... I have never seen an insult from DAOTEC...

IDK is weird...

I've been seeing some pics and reading the twitter and seems like the peloton is OK with AC comeback... except Pinotti that said something about OJ

 

[TeoSheva]

what are you studying?

------------

good that contador is back.

it's time to build for the giro and for the tour to show us something that will make us feel really proud and amazed about him. good luck pistolero!

----------------

cardoso for the win.
machado overall.

or maybe..
machado atacks in every stage and wins them besides the queen one, because he is too tired.

Hello Daotec

Nice sleuthing.

Martin attacks at 5k to go, but doesnt look like hes made it stick.

2k to go, peloton together, riders trying to attack. sounds messy.

 

[c&cfan]

it isnt 2! but 7k to go! how stupid is that? what a mistake made by the organisation.

 

[Anonymous]

There are now about 10k to go. The organisers have screwed up the mileage apparently.

well its 7 miles to go. god knows how many kilometres. 2nd time in a week this has happened.

 

[Grzdylu]

4 to go. radio said

 

[joy118118]

if it is a mountain stage and tells riders there are still 7km climbs to go

 

[sublimit]

This is more shambolic than the Oman coverage,

Dao banned huh? haha..
