Really liking Gorilla work this year - less wins but a real team rider.

Just like Cav...NOT!

 

[roundabout]

Greipel can win this stage but no, he has to pull on the front. He won after pulling once before but it's not the smartest idea.

It's not like Gilbert is going to win overall.

 

[just some guy]

Eisel on the attack

 

[sublimit]

Is it me or does Greipel look a lot bigger than last year? He looks like a track sprinter but maybe its an optical illusion..

 

[Ferminal]

Oooh Eisel out in front... a rare occurrence for sure.

I wonder who he's working for.

Better to try to win overall and fail than not to try and then regret it later.

Edvald I guess.

Pathetic stage really, imagine if they continued with something like the first two loops they did?

The last couple of stages have been poor to be fair. Its like a Sunday club run at the minute.

It was much more exciting before eurosport went live. It always baffles me how races like this include a lot of hard hills followed by a completely flat final almost every single day. It's like they don't want excitement.

Yeh, I look away for 10minutes and the break gains 1'40"?

Nothing really left on the profile, if Phil doesn't have a go at the end I will not be happy.

 

[just some guy]

Where is Eisel now ? catching the break in no mans land ?

and there is my answer catching the break

 

[AussieGoddess]

Caught the break now

 

[Jamsque]

Massive ride from Eisel to cross that gap. 30km is a long way, he could well recover and contest the stage win.

Tanner flatted out of the break but might well catch back on.

Greipel hammering on the front of the peloton again. He has spent a large part of his season killing himself for Phillipe Gilbert and deserves a lot of credit.

 

[Ferminal]

Gorilla working... Phil must be keen then.

 

[AussieGoddess]

Major respect for greipel

I have not been his biggest fan - but he has done a LOT this season ... And most of it for the team not just himself

I take back my criticisms from the tour

 

[just some guy]

Bernie ate his cornflakes this morning looks like he is stretching out the break

 

[Fetisoff]

lol @ Alan Davis, trying to find a shortcut through the forest

 

[sublimit]

The Gorilla is worthy of respect definatley. Still going hard.

Going for the green edge

 

[Ferminal]

Allan Davis hasn't been dropped yet!?
