EBH makes his move

 

[roundabout]

EBH express leaving the station

 

[Zoncolan]

EBH goes!!!

 

[ingsve]

Here goes EBH finally.

 

[Kazistuta]

rabo boys killing the chase. smart.

cobbles

Seems like they're satisfied with a stage win. Koos will have no chance vs. Tony Martin at the time trial. Thought Rabobank had higher ambitions and wanted to do more carnage, especially considering their strong lineup.

EBH- WOW. Great move

 

[The Hitch]

Ebh goes.

I fear this could end like Gilberts attack in lbl. 1 v2 usualy 2 win.

 

[Jamsque]

Ahahahaha look at EBH ride the peloton off his back wheel! He's a day late and a buck short, but impressive nonetheless.

 

[Jamsque]

He's going to have to do his very best Spartacus impersonation to catch these two.

 

[roundabout]

Tell you what, i'm pretty impressed by the way Porte is riding the cobbles for a little runt

It's over for Tuft

 

[hrotha]

Why aren't there cobbles in every race.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

ebh really didn't make a lot of ground on the front men or the chasers.

he is actually puling away further now. Nice time trial position.
The chase group look like they have given up.
tuft also returns.

What a poor team Sky is. If they really want EBH to fight for the overall, why was he alone in that group? Except for the fact that his teammates are useless..

 

[roundabout]

Maybe there's just enough firepower @ Rabobank to cause problems for Martin in the upcoming stages

 

[The Hitch]

are there going to be any stages for martin to lose this?

eurosport now decided eddy is in the leaders jersey until they remember tony martin.
I think they are drunk

mmm. i doubt it.
Koos i snot a bad TTr though.
He has had some impressive results this year.

 

[maltiv]

Seriously EBH, find a new team. Isn't the defending champion of a race worthy of a team that can, you know, assist him? Even when it goes slightly uphill?

 

[Jamsque]

EBH is still well over a minute down on Martin and Moerenhout. I think he'll hold off the chase for third, though. Still, disappointing that a moment of inattention cost him a chance at the stage win and the race lead, he is clearly strong today.

He wasn't alone. Hayman and at least one more was there and was working all they could before EBH attack in Kwaremont.

Carlton was working out the time bonifications and worked out that if martin gets 10 and eddy 4 eddy will be in the lead, not realizing that Martin will get the 1 minute 20 or so as well.

Agree. However, if EBH wanted to win why did he not follow Tony Martin?

Brain dead all round
