the swiss guys flying all over the road,catching the others

 

[Trofinios]

Klödens first intermediate? No reporting yet, so it must suck?

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Hmm Kessiakoff did a good prologue, then he sucks in the mountains, and now another good TT....

Kessiakoff is supposed to be a pretty good climber when he's in shape, so what's up with him sucking at Verbier?

 

[boomcie]

Lol Cance. Enjoying this less than a Britt failing, but it's ok.

the live reporting sucks. Only news about Swiss riders. Haven't ever seen such a biased ticker

148 122 16:30:00 FARIA DA COSTA Rui Alberto MOV POR

I didn't know what this was all about and for a sec I thought he was 16.30 mins behind. :O

 

[dlwssonic]

Yeaaaaaaah 4th and 5th for BMC.

 

[Trofinios]

From live-ticker

Roy Jérémy Roy (FDJ) realises the new second best time at the second intermediary! Only Kessiakoff and Cancellara were faster.

 

[GazelleFormula]

Klödens first intermediate? No reporting yet, so it must suck?

He is 6th at 26 seconds.

at 2nd timecheck: 7th @ 41 seconds

 

[El Pistolero]

Lol at Kesiakoff beating Cancellara.

 

[jens_attacks]

decent time by sagan,it doesn't matter anyway he still breathes on the nose

 

[Trofinios]

He is 6th at 26 seconds.

Just heard. Weak time considering what Klöden can do.

 

[cineteq]

Just heard. Weak time considering what Klöden can do.

+46 at the 2nd intermediate

He has been sick the whole spring and have barely done any racing.

So an, not too implausible, explanation is that his VO2-max is there but he has not built up any racing stamina.
In short, when the races last for hours he suck because the body is not used to it.

 

[Havetts]

No one of the top 20 shown yet.. Just coverage of Swiss riders..

 

[Trofinios]

Moser should be at first intermediate in a couple of minutes.

Will he shock us?

No one of the top 20 shown yet.. Just coverage of Swiss riders..

Yes this is really really terrible coverage

From the ticker:

Peter Sagan arrives with 49:13 at the Finish. He has not used all his possibilities during this stage because of tactical reasons.

What?

 

[Fetisoff]

What, you guys really don't care about seeing Gregory Rast finishing 4 minutes down??

 

[Trofinios]

What?

Ticker guy must be nuts.

 

[jens_attacks]

[Mellow Velo]

[Veritas]

Anyone else watching this stream? http://sports-livez.com/channel/ch-2.php
I can understand one of these guys perfectly fine, but the other guy could just as well be speaking some kind of fantasy language.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

c'mon guys they showed us levi!

What?

Yeah, sounds like a non-English speaker, almost like google translate. Certainly an odd way of saying Sagan couldn't be that bothered as he wasnt going to win.
