[Tuarts]

Wolfsberg (if you saw the graphic)

 

[Descender]

Eroica....

I went for WT ones.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Andy doesnt look good does he?

 

[hrotha]

Pfff, Tjallingii and the team car. I think it's time to forbid any contact whatsoever between team cars and riders. Neutral cars/motorbikes for water and mechanicals.

Back when Columbia signed Ghyselinck they raved about how he had superstar potential, had been horribly trained and developed by his previous team and you would see immediate massive improvement.

It's been a while and he hasn't done much

 

[auscyclefan94]

bye bye schleck!

 

[issoisso]

bye bye schleck!

Has he had his scheduled crash?

 

[Bala Verde]

they have really made this a hard race the last 40k!

Even Hoogerland didn't bother to attack.

 

[auscyclefan94]

nope but he was at the back of the peleton.

harmon cracks me up. Some of the stuff he comes up with is quite funny.

45km - Well done to Melik and Besmir. Danilo di Luca is indeed the man who can become the first Dutchman to record four podium finished at AGR here today. To keep you updated on the race situation, the peloton continue to close in on the four leaders. The ga[s now down to 40 seconds as we approach the Loorberg.

The sportive race was probably faster than this. Apparently it's the Sunday Amstel Gold Group Ride for the Roses.

Good bye Tialinghi

 

[Kellys Big Sprocket]

37km to go. I'm away for a cuppa tea and a tray bake.

 

[roundabout]

Ah, I remember the days when TV coverage started from about this point. You could get a lot more things done in those days

 

[Ney the Viking]

Nice fuglsang out by Trek, now Frank can sit back and save hsi other helpers.

 

[Sasquatch]

BMC are right up the front!

No.

They just caught their team that got lost during the Giro last year.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Oh well, they didn't get a break anyway. and AStana on the attack

 

[luckyboy]

€63,000 minimum wage for ProTour riders + €44,000 for ProConti? That sounds high to me.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

That break is really taking shape.

Nope, too much shape...

 

[auscyclefan94]

lots of attacks! Rabo need to up the pace NOW!

 

[screaming fist]

€63,000 minimum wage for ProTour riders + €44,000 for ProConti? That sounds high to me.

that's because it's total BS he's telling.

 

[auscyclefan94]

other teams are playing into lotto's hands

 

[Ney the Viking]

€63,000 minimum wage for ProTour riders + €44,000 for ProConti? That sounds high to me.

That sounds HIGH? My god, poor cyclists

 

[luckyboy]

I mean that sounds higher than I thought it was. Obviously they should be paid lots. Football etc. get way too much

 

[Descender]

€63,000 minimum wage for ProTour riders + €44,000 for ProConti? That sounds high to me.

Per month or year?

Per month, no way it's true. Per year, it looks too little.
