[Jamsque]

God damn camera motos helping the peloton.

Whos the Astana with Chavanel. Tis not Grivko is it? Cant be.

Simon Clarke

I would honestly laugh my *** off if this came down to a bunch sprint and Cav won it. The tears of the haters would be so delicious.

If this happens I will Werner Herzog.

 

[Ferminal]

Boom going for it.

We´re almost at the 200km mark. He should be felled pretty soon.

Yeh... him and his other <210km mate at the front there.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The famous 200km fail riders Boom and Hagen

 

[Tyke1968]

Astana rider...

Its Simon Clarke (Aus).

 

[The Hitch]

Yes that would be funny, and probably very entertaining.

 

[luckyboy]

EBH has made hard work of getting to the front. Boom just rides up to him.

 

[superconfex]

That LUC man is everywhere

 

[Jamsque]

Boom and EBH haven't quite reached the front two yet.

Was that Pozzatto riding on the front I saw?

 

[The Hitch]

Why does Harmonn expect Saxo on the front

 

[killswitch]

Is O'Grady still there?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Anniemiek van Vleuten wins RVV for women.

That's 1 dutch victory. Let's see if the Belgians can win

 

[Granville57]

Damn! I'm so jacked for this race that I typed the wrong name/password in 5 times and had to wait 15 mins before trying again. Never happened before!

FWIW, my prediction is for Gilbert to upset all the pre-race hype.
My podium prediction:
Gilbert - for the upset
Boonen - for pride
Thor - for the rainbow jersey

i'm excited for de ronde though i won't be posting in the final hours of the race as i will be watching on the tv (lucky for the rest of you).

I wont't be able to rub it in when BMC win!!!!

ACF, I don't care if you have and HD broadcast and a huge plasma screen to watch on. If Ballan and Hincapie get into a four-man break with 10k to go, no way you'll stop posting!

Brit broadcast said Hincapie is 100 to 1 odds for the win.

 

[Jamsque]

Here we go, four at the front together. 23 seconds the gap.

Once again Sky have had a man in EVERY SINGLE MOVE of the race. Probably won't help them win, but I'm so glad they are racing more aggressively than last year.

Spartacus has put his last domestique on the front.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

bridged.

C'mon boom make 220, 240next year and then 2013 is yours

 

[Jamsque]

60km to go, we are about to enter the SPARTACUS ZONE.

Anniemiek van Vleuten wins RVV for women.

That's 1 dutch victory. Let's see if the Belgians can win

nice. Wish we were as dominating in men

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The 1 leopard guy is closing the gap small on Boom, Chavanel, Hagen and Clarke. Not good

 

[dabaideschbi]

where is Sagan??

 

[Ferminal]

bridged.

C'mon boom make 220, 240next year and then 2013 is yours

If Boom makes 220 I'll back him in for next week

Vaughters is busy in the car drawing up "LOST - have you seen this team" posters to hand out on the roadside.

 

[Moondance]

Wow.... That LEOPARD TREK domestique is doing some incredible work.

EDIT: Until he rode into a ditch

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

front four doomed. Silly move by boom.

 

[Cobblestones]

Gap is coming down.
