Shack Attack for 4th!

ha, should've supported Zubeldia in the Tour.

 

[Ferminal]

Hrmf.......

Now now we can't have Vino winning everything!

 

[Bala Verde]

LLS will win the sprint?

yes he will. Smart, made Vino do all the work in the last km.

Cool as a cucumber.

 

[Ryaguas]

Wow... nice LLS!!! La victoria se queda otro año en casa!

Nice Vino...!

 

[Zaschrona]

Definetly really nice race.. Carlos easily took 3rd place how I predicted!

 

[groverjones]

Would've been nice to see Sastre win, but without attacking further out he didn't have a lot of chance. Nice play by the Spaniards to make Vino lead them out though.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

And my pick....Barredo, comes in way down. What the hell happened to Liquigas today? Everyone was picking Nibali FTW, and Kreuziger finished second last year.

 

[Tom T.]

Shack Attack for 4th!

After wheel-sucking the last 15 km.

 

[Ferminal]

Yay Footon! Nice sprint!

 

[Beech Mtn]

yes he will. Smart, made Vino do all the work in the last km.

Cool as a cucumber.

Yeah, it was pretty funny when Vino was looking around for somebody to pull through, and they were like, "um no."

 

[maltiv]

I think there was a Sky rider in that group 4 minutes back!

 

[The Hitch]

They are sending all their big riders to the other other Grand Tour, the Tour of Poland.

Damn right.

Too bad that in the second group, most riders where only thinking of the 4th place. If there was a bit more support, they could've made it to the front group.

8 out of the top 10 were in the TdF

Special mention for Haimar Zubeldia. Seriously, f@#k him.

 

[sublimit]

Anybody expecting a Sky rider in the top 20 is slightly naive.. check the start list.

Porte did well considering he didnt ride the tour and have all those miles in his legs so well done to him.

 

[altark123]

ha, should've supported Zubeldia in the Tour.

Funny, if not for the untimely injury he would've been on the squad.

 

[altark123]

Special mention for Haimar Zubeldia. Seriously, f@#k him.

I guess I don't understand the hate for "wheel sucking" or not doing the most work at the front when it gets you a better result. Why expend the energy and not save it for a higher placing potentially? The one I will give you is Levi, can't stand the way he rides, but it could be anyone.

 

[Barrus]

Great intelligent race by LLS.
Great race by Gesink, but he did not get any support from the other riders. Especially when you consider that Zubeldia attacked later on, only to ensure the 4th place, when if he had worked he at least would have a chance to win it
Great race by Porte, was really amazed when he attacked, and especially the way he hung on and came back every time. Really impressive

 

[icefire]

Zubeldia was fighting for the important best Basque classification

 

[The Hitch]

cracking race this

Oh Yeay, Sastre.

lulu gets it

Definetly really nice race.. Carlos easily took 3rd place how I predicted!

Just my luck. This was the race i missed.

Because he robbed himself and the others of a chance to win, and then just steals a 4th place, which he absolutely didn't deserve.

but there are what...15 teams in the top 16 and sky hasn't got one of those places....that's very poor

Because it's a coward's way of riding.
