+1, every 5 minutes or so...front loading so that they don't have to in the end...I hope.

The ads are very short though and they do try to fit it in when not much is happening during the race. They have to pay their bills somehow. ;)

I have to say I'm very underwhelmed by the race radio segments shown today; if that's the kind of deep strategic insight the DSs provide during a race I think the riders will be just fine without it too...

Yea "alright guys, we need to be at the front" seems pretty self explanatory.

According to Sporza's guy on the motor, Renaat Schotte, Boom, Chavanel and Hagen are not riding full. They are keeping energy back

Yes, I could do without it. Gimmick that adds nothing.

Looks like Leopard spent Klemme to no result because of the motorcycles. Good for the race that Cancellaras domestiques get used up.

Arvesen said before the start that they know they have a strong team but not the strongest rider so their tactic is to attack and they've certainly done that so far.

Subscription television... Obviously doesn't count if you're watching a ripped online feed :p

Chavanel has been moderating his ride the whole time, he just wants to hang off the front at a non threatening distance.
