very good eurosport feed

Rabobank's tatics haven't really worked.

meh, i dooubt the attacks were ever intended to work lol.

moreso it is probably to set up gesink, and make other teams do tthe work (rabo have a pretty high depth classics sqaud, makes thier breakaway riders dangerous).
we'll see how it goes.

Usefull to have Rabobank rider up there,probably futile but you never know.

99% futile because the others favorites team dont have anyone in the break and they are not going to mark gilbert like mad

Well, you never know, some teams have DSs of the tactical "quality" of Frans Maasen :p
When that happens, logic doesn't come into it

they killed off tjalinig and tankink to get Barredo/LLS/? up front @ ~1m with 2 spent guys and a neo...

Has Maasen somehow made his way back to the Rabo car? Or have they hired Van Poppel?

Damn, I'm stuck with having to watch it on large screen HD.:rolleyes::D

Harmon is well know for being a fanboy of certain riders. All this talk about Katusha, but there has been nada on the Eurosport site on LA's visits to Dr F.
Odd, since if he breaks wind, they usually report it.
Sean Kelly clearly loves Dutch roads.:eek:

It's the combined intellect of all Dutch DS's together in a car with Van Houwelingen tied up in the trunk.

[not necessary] Harmonn said he doesnt see anyone from AGR that can do anything. then mentions Niko Roche (surprise surprise :rolleyes:)

Umm Gadret and Nocentini are worth mentioning.

I thought the combined tactical genius of Breukink/Maassen have been deployed to secure a victory. One who is so careful that he always rides with the hand break on and the other wanting to launch attacks at moments that raises everyone's eyebrows ...
