64. Österriech Rundfahrt

[Mellow Velo]

RSNT and BMC have attacked early and split the bunch to pieces.
Di Luca in 2nd group chasing, a few 100 metres behind.
Not far to the HC climb.

 

[roundabout]

woah, di luca's group is smaller than the leaders

 

[Mellow Velo]

Di Luca is toast.
Taborre blows, so he's only got Betancur.
4 or 5 RSNT and 3 BMC, plus others working up front.
50 second gap growing.
Could be an epic.

 

[roundabout]

Di Luca has to do it himself, but he is closing the gap. 35 seconds now

 

[roundabout]

and he is back

 

[Kazistuta]

Is the orf stream workign for you guys? Can't get it to work in either Chrome or FF. The other day I had no problems (already tried refreshing multiple times)

 

[stetre76]

Di Luca just closed the gap...it's going to be interesting how much this really cost him

 

[Mellow Velo]

What a chase!
DDL, Betancur, Spilak and Pagani make contact
with the remains of the front group.
A long way still to go on the big climb,
but a pity the rest of the hills are spread out
and not so tough.

I suspect truce time coming up.

 

[stetre76]

hmmm, Di Luca is not very amused, that the Radio Shack guys continue to attack...

not sure though, if this is the right tactic for Rohregger either....

 

[roundabout]

Yeah, Danilo, they should slow down now

 

[Mellow Velo]

That's it for me. Have to go out. Recording to see later......much later.

 

[Kazistuta]

How are you guys getting things to work today? I really can't get any picture

 

[stetre76]

using the orf.at livestream, as I am in Austria.
unfortunately, this one doesn't work outside Austria...

pm sent...

 

[Kazistuta]

It did work two days ago, people just had to refresh a lot to get the signal. I don't think either Mellow Velo or roundabout is located in Austria currently, and they seem to get the signal anyway

This one is good.

This one is even better.

Still on the main climb but will be nearing the summit

Thanks... saved me from spending a few hours in the sun, LOL

The one I'm using???
I wonder whether they will be able to catch back fuglsang. He is a big threat on GC with his TT.

Yeah, your link.

It's a long way to go to the finish from the top and the leaders only have about a a minute so it's catchable.

Hmm, they actually have more than I thought. Still, it will be very difficult to hold on, even if the group behind is about 18 riders strong right now

Ok but the peloton is looking really small. Seems like I missed on some action.
This tour of austria is way more entertaining than that crash ridden tour.

 

[dlwssonic]

acqua sapone has only 1 domestique left and they are the only ones chasing.

 

[roundabout]

BMC should have Santaromita close to the group. And maybe more people will come back. It's still 90km to go.

Santamorita just got dropped. They don't seem really bothered though.

Gap around 2:20 now.
