[luckyboy]

Where is Menchov on GC? About +60s?

 

[dlwssonic]

Breakaway stage, I won't bother getting up for this.

what if BMC is in the break, wanna ask us to wake you up?

 

[movingtarget]

Yeah, Cunego is pretty ordinary in time trials. How far back is Martin ?

 

[auscyclefan94]

kinda feel wasted that BMC got two second places both by very close margins, still awaiting for their win.

That happens a lot.

what if BMC is in the break, wanna ask us to wake you up?

Maybe someone can text me...

 

[wirral]

Tony Martin is 33 seconds behind Evans.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Tony Martin is 33 seconds behind Evans.

Only 33s. I can smell the **** in Cadels Trousers

 

[auscyclefan94]

Tony Martin is 33 seconds behind Evans.

Martin is still definetly in it if he has a good day. can Brutt tt at all?

 

[dlwssonic]

Maybe someone can text me...

maybe one of those swiss mught get a chance, tschopp maybe??

 

[auscyclefan94]

maybe one of those swiss mught get a chance, tschopp maybe??

Tschopp to go into the break and go solo on the Enges climb to victory!

 

[movingtarget]

Well unless something dramatic happens, it looks like Vino, Evans, Martin or Menchov for the overall.

morabito proving once again that he is a one week stage racer gc rider

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So far Romandie wasn't as bad as the course is.

Thanks to Brutt the peloton was forced to do some racing.

 

[wirral]

40 seconds.

My mistake. Evans and Tony Martin were initially credited with the same time. Or is it a time bonus? Yeah, probably.

 

[Parrulo]

wow amazing ride by rui costa. mostly if we take into account that he just got back and only rode the 3 ardennes classics and was only able to finish liege. so romandie is his 4th race this season and this is his 6th day of competition. not bad at all!!!!!

 

[roundabout]

So it should be between Evans-Vinokourov-Morabito-Intxausti-Wyss-Danielson-Pinotti-Brajkovic-Millar-Menchov-Martin

Rabobank and Sky to control the stage tomorrow

 

[Bavarianrider]

So contenders for the overall win should be

Cunego
Evans + 4
Vino +4
Danielson + 15
Pinotti +15
Brajkocic +20
Menchov +25
Millar +38
Martin +44

+ Pinotti?

+ a lot.
Brutt's boys from yesterday made today's stage what it was.
They had to race.
Interesting that the little clock had the yellow jersey group just 47 seconds down at the line. Swiss timing ain't what it used to be.

Although I picked Cuddles for today's win, the Little Prince was clearly going faster than him, when he got introduced to the barriers.

BMC ain't going to win this race, BMW are. (Boring Martin Wattmachine)

BMW actually attacked today... although probably only to keep a steady pace up the climb.

 

[Boeing]

how many more min will Taylor Phinney lose today?

 

[cineteq]

how many more min will Taylor Phinney lose today?

+ 28 min.

Bobridge +12:45

 

[Mellow Velo]

Radio Shack lost 2 men on the way.
I may be wrong, but the only GC change were the 3 breakaway men dropping down the rankings.
The rest of the top 20+ riders all finished in the 2 second herd.

Doubt whether there will be any more change until minutes change hand in the 20km ITT.
Ludicrous.

 

[Bavarianrider]

What's up with Kreuziger? Is he just here fore miles? He was so strong in Liege? Why does he compete if he doesn't want toc check his legs a bit?
