[YannickQ]

I think bling is Michael Mathews?

Yeah that is right

 

[taiwan]

Rabo sprinter, 2010 u23 WC Michael Matthews. To do with his flashy style I guess.

I wonder what happened to
"CyclingNews.com Iphone app. I used to get their ticker on it and now it is not working in the USA for some reason

No kidding, I need one for my Android.
CN: You're lagging behind other cycling sites

gap i growing. 3' 45" recently at the foot of the next climb. The bunch is playing cat and mouse with the break.

 

[cineteq]

BiciCiclismo reports Sanchez is still in the race. Mixed reports, who's right?

Not that either would help, CN Live coverage isn't on either.

And yes, CN seems to be unable to spell Android.

Letour tracker is way behind, I'll believe it when I see it there, though hopefully a feed isnt far off.

 

[Dedelou]

EBH working at the front again...seriously, why didn't they just send him to Suisse? I really don't see the point in having him here, they might as well have sent Jeremy Hunt or something. Would have the same role...

he might not feel that good? might be his form is not good enough to compete for the victory?

I suppose they see this as a dress rehearsal for the Tour. Presumably this is the Tour team (+ 1 other)

 

[The Hitch]

What heartless individual would claim Samu has abandoned and write it as news, without actually knowing if it is true or not?

 

[maltiv]

Was the same yesterday. Then he was doing pulls at the front very early, yet he easily went over the final climb in a good position. So his form can't be particularly bad.

Did you seem him last year at the Dauphine?
He was leading the peloton up the climbs like a rocket i doubt Hunt could do that.

I agree. He was 11th in the prologue as well, not exactly an indication of bad form.

 

[wirral]

How many left in the main bunch?

Answer my own question: Looks like well over 100.

 

[dlwssonic]

some riders getting dropped.

 

[Yingge]

Couple of groups of 4-5 a bit behind, but thats about it so far.

 

[TeoSheva]

who is working for Sky?
