ENECO Tour August 17 - 24

[insideout leadout]

Martin and Boom (?) are up the road, chased by a Liquigas, and then a peloton which I am assuming contains EBH. Not really sure

It's Koos.

EBh is back in the main group. Eurosport are claiming greipel is virtual leader, despite tony martin only starting the day 7 seconds back.

I wonder whether Sky and EBH have messed this up. Why didn't EBH follow Martin when he went? He's the dnager man with a TT at the end. SKy need to drill this to bring it back together.

I am swapping between working and watching, I missed seeing how EBH got unhooked from the lead group.

They were reeled in by the peloton, then while EBH was looking back and ready to join the peloton again Tony Martin just disappeared.

Martin, Morenhout are up the road.

Somebody chasing i cant identify..
Peleton at 50 seconds but its split everywhere.

 

[Jamsque]

It is indeed Koos Moerenhout, and EBH is indeed in the chasing pack. Looks like Sky, Saxo and Pharma doing the work.

 

[Cobblestoned]

p.s. is there a live stream somewhere. At work can't watch :/

you can also try this one

[Eyeballs Out]

Quite a few sprinters in the white jersey group still including Davis, Steegmans, Bozic, Henderson

richie porte has a go, but gets nowhere.

this all benefits the front two.

 

[Jamsque]

Tuft is riding his *** off to stay in the bunch, and Travis Meyer is killing himself in the chase once again.

Is that Richie Porte on the attack?

 

[roundabout]

You would have thought that Liquigas, Sky, Garmin, Saxo, Radioshack etc would realize that they have a common interest

 

[maltiv]

Seems like they all decided to give the overall to Tony Martin then? EBH made the mistake of thinking he had any useful team-mates left in the peloton...

Agree 100%. Big mistake from Sky and EBH

 

[ingsve]

It's not over yet. We'll see after Kwaremont if there is a chance to catch him.

Are you sure he just couldn't follow? I didn't see it.

 

[Jamsque]

EBH needs to get out of the bunch and try to bridge to the chase group, it's about to be three strong.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

come on koos get one last victory

 

[roundabout]

You have to say that Rabobank came with a pretty nice team for a stage like this

 

[maltiv]

Yes. Their break way caught, EBH looked back to join the peloton again and Tony Martin went without EBH paying attention.

It does indeed suit a few of their riders.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

rabo boys killing the chase. smart.

cobbles

 

[Jamsque]

It's all over unless another attack goes off the group, EBH is out of teammates and Rabo have shut it down.

 

[hrotha]

Yes. Their break way caught, EBH looked back to join the peloton again and Tony Martin went without EBH paying attention.

I see, thanks. Pretty impressive to get a gap that big again then.

 

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

Brilliant from Rabobank.

Great for Martin

The rest have been pathetic
