Solo attack from Oleg Chuzda (Caja Rural), he has a minute and a half.

 

[Ryaguas]

Linus Gedermann abandoned... too bad weather for him?

Chuzda showing some colors there.

Gerdemann is on an endless road downhill since that fall in the Tiirreno time trial of 2008

 

[roundabout]

to be fair he did win the last Tour of Germany when he came back

Gotta love Chuzda. Only way for him to be in a race is up the road and on solo. Would like to see a sprint, though. The peloton better start chasing!

He had 2:20 with like 35km to go. That's not gonna be enough.

Km 151 - Chuzda segue à cabeça, 2m20s. Km 151 - Chuzda follows the head, 2m20s. A Omega Pharma limita o avanço do corredor ucraniano da Caja Rural mas parece estar à espera que as outras equipas interessadas numa chegada conjunta assumam o comando do pelotão. Omega Pharma limits the advance of the Caja Rural Ukrainian corridor but it seems to be waiting for the other teams interested in coming together to take the lead platoon.

Lotto is right. Chuzda got almost 3 minutes yesterday so Gilbert will retain the leader jersey anyway. Garmin, QS, Rabo and the others need to realize this and start pulling for the sprint.

He's no stranger to portuguese roads and he knows a thing or two about breaks. For now I think he's being kept under the radar, but if they start looking at each other waiting OLO to chase, it might happen.

Edit: Ok, so they didn't stare at each other. OLO and radioshack working up the front and bringing the break down to 1:20

 

[Scirea]

The lead is down to 1:20 in only 4 km, RadioShack started to work. Seems like Cardoso wants to go for it on home soil.

 

[Ryaguas]

Now Da Shack is working =D

 

[Scirea]

42 seconds with 20km to go.

 

[Anonymous]

26 seconds. all coming back together again

 

[Scirea]

RadioShack is doing all the dirty work.

What happens to RadioShack? The retirement of LA affects them so much?

Cardoso is racing on home soil and he wants to win a stage.

Ciloek FTW in a bunch sprint!

 

[Scirea]

Suddenly QS (Ciolek) and Cofidis (Gallopin) got to the front.
