[Tuarts]

Already underway, startlist here.

Ticker-ish here

Discuss.

Watson or Linfield ftw for the Aussies

Is Zabel a sprinter like his father?

 

[LaFleur]

Had great faith for the Estonians in this race, and they have not dissapointed me. All 3 are in the front of the big group all the time and we had 1 in the break early on.

 

[craig1985]

Break has 45 seconds.

 

[craig1985]

A small counter group has got away with a few seconds over the peloton, including one from Germany and one from Colombia.

rabo think he might be a guy for the classics. Still early, we'll see.

 

[Tuarts]

Zabel is a decentish sprinter at Junior level at least.

Some favourites (I think):

Martin France
Darville USA
Hoelgaard Norway
Nielsen Denmark
Lammertink/Zabel Netherlands

fascinating discussion with the serbian coach.

fascinating discussion with the serbian coach.

Yeah, he's very matter-of-fact and unabashed. Very good.

 

[Mellow Velo]

fascinating discussion with the serbian coach.

Indeed it was, all good stuff.
Now we are discussing the various merits of the past few world's courses.
Oh heck, chute and a Serbian lad is down, too.

More feed zone tangling.

I liked the bit where he basically called the UCI's program of getting riders from non traditional cycling countries useless.

French trying to split the race up.

Nifty move !

 

[ferryman]

Team Italia to the fore.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Danish, Australians and Germans doing nothing pretty strange.

 

[spalco]

Hm, 21 seconds? If the peloton doesn't hit the gas I think the break has a chance.

 

[Tuarts]

Bad crash!

Dutch rider still on the ground.

 

[meat puppet]

24 secs. Think the break has a chance!

 

[spalco]

I think it's approaching desperation time for the main bunch, they have to pump it seriously *now* to catch them imo.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I think one of the front guys win

 

[ferryman]

Wow, look at the number of French riders at the front

 

[spalco]

Wow, look at the number of French riders at the front

Yeah, they look super dangerous if the peloton does catch the break.

 

[spalco]

Great win, congrats. Too bad for Liemans, great effort too. And Rick Zabel won the bunch sprint I think.

 

[craig1985]

France wins again and Rick Zabel comes 5th.
