[superconfex]

Reza of eurocar....go on son

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Tankink getting an armchair ride

 

[Moondance]

Hmmmm.... I don't know what Gilbert is playing at. I love that he's trying to win this race as well, but thrying to go for a 60k+ attack doesn't seem like the right way to prepare for the big classics next week.

Didn't he go too late in last years brabantse pijl? might explain it

Yes, but 60kms is a bit much, no?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Gilbert hasn't attacked yet - just rode across the gap at it's narrowest point

Nah, he's smart enough to know what he can handle. This is just 1,5 hours going "deep".

 

[TRDean]

How many kms left??

 

[boomcie]

How many kms left??

still 43K to go

 

[TRDean]

still 43K to go

Cool..thanks..so what is the situation...still a group out front..now with Gilbert?

 

[Moondance]

Barredo trying to bridge.

Barredo and Gilbert in the break = guaranteed fun.

EDIT: Barredo isn't trying to bridge, just smothering more attackers.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Apparently he wanted to know the time gap.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

LuLu! off the front of the peloton

 

[Moondance]

Hmmm... Rather poor of Vacansoleil not to have someone shadow Lulu.

Also, Tankink is getting a free ride to the finish now

Well the guys on the RAI said it could be a sign to the motor camera to go make a panoramic shot elsewhere and stop bugging Gilbert.
