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.

 

[Kazistuta]

hmm Asparagus in the fields...

A Spartacus???

 

[auscyclefan94]

Come on BMC attack. entertain me!

 

[dlwssonic]

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

 

[dlwssonic]

Come on BMC attack. entertain me!

Gotta be patient they cant waste their troops today

Ghyselinck. Another name which makes my spellchecker weep.

Another name that makes me weep when our commentator attempts to pronounce it

"Jez-linking"

 

[Bala Verde]

Well, you never know, some teams have DSs of the tactical "quality" of Frans Maasen
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...

 

[auscyclefan94]

BMC are right up the front!

 

[luckyboy]

Harmon is in love with kolobnev and ignatiev

Yeah he always talks about Kolobnev

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

Just think of all the options!

 

[Mellow Velo]

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

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.

Watch it on Sporza.

 

[Bala Verde]

A Spartacus???

hehe, he was poking his head out.

 

[sublimit]

I wonder what Garmin will do today. Hopefully not sit on Gilbert.

 

[ak-zaaf]

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

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

 

[Ney the Viking]

Iganov on the "attack"

 

[Cobblestones]

They finished that interview pretty fast. lol

 

[thrawn]

Edit: nvm...

 

[auscyclefan94]

santa covers the moves!

 

[The Hitch]

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

Umm Gadret and Nocentini are worth mentioning.

 

[Bala Verde]

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 ...

 

[dlwssonic]

Harmon always goes WIGGANS WIGGANS OMG GERAINT THOMAS OMG OMG NIC ROCHE OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[thrawn]

Harmon doesn't know why Cadel isn't racing...
