Criterium International - St 1: Porto Vecchio Col de lÂ’Ospedale, 176km

[issoisso]

LMFAO

Who's your top 3 isso?

Contador to win. Two of Monfort, Evans, Lövkvist, Sánchez, Moreau behind him.

Of course, anything can happen. Except Contador losing

I don't think Evans will lose time on anyone but Contador.

LOL. Fair enough, I was being a stickler.

This final climb apparently suits Lance more than it does Contador. I wouldn't have thought that, but the commentator just educated me!

 

[auscyclefan94]

big peleton...

 

[auscyclefan94]

shack all at the back

 

[rides like a girl]

Donde esta Armstrong?

My Spanish isn't that good. The Spanish feed I'm watching has commentators that speak very quickly. I get about 30-40%. my favorite part so far was when the camera was falling back, the announcers were calling out names, once the camera gets to the back, he asks donde esta Armstrong? Where is Armstrong and the other guy laughs.

 

[auscyclefan94]

great backgorund music

Had to switch back to Spanish, couldn't take the feed drops any more.

EDIT: 9km to the start of the final climb.

Just started watching Eurosport. Is Vino in front with Contador and the rest of Astana?

 

[Not Riding Enough]

looks like the football is going to stay on the SA chanel.

I don't know. He has a white bandage on his left arm, so he should be easy to spot.

[Angliru]

Yes. He has a white bandage on his left arm.

Thanks! I don't see any Shack uni's near the front.

I'd be out the back on the first 4K, so I'm not going to talk any smack about it

 

[Publicus]

Yeah, they've been pretty inconspicuous. I saw Horner flash to the front at the top of the last climb, but that's about it.

I'm sure you could keep up with the Livestrong twitter ride bus.

 

[franciep10]

anybody know the time between the peloton and the break

 

[Publicus]

I'm definitely autobus material. Not built for climbing.

I counted 5 out the back of the peleton, Can't wait to see fatty crumbling on the climb!

Machado!!!!!!
