Geelong 2010: Elite Men's Road Race 262.7km

[MTDave]

What happened to Lewis? Somebody put Armorall on his saddle? 20:45 local time here. Between losing most of his team and seeing the way the gaps open it looks really doubtful for Farrar. Get sum Fabio!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeah the 'sprinter' teams look finished pretty fast.
Watch out for Spain and Freire though

 

[davis_123]

Friere is a big danger, seems attentive and if there is 30 left by the end he will probably be there.

I am starting to think australia is riding for Goss/Davis, they will probably come out and up the tempo in the next lap or 2 given I said that but as it stands they seem to be just conserving energy to have a big lead out train for the end.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Bozic gave up already, so did A.Rasmussen

The course seems to be taking a toll on the sprinters, even the strong surviving ones like bozic normally is

 

[MTDave]

Who is the Spaniard? that is always seems to be taking a pull?

 

[Carlo Algatrensig]

One rider that hasn't really been mentioned as a potential winner but seems to be up near the front for most of the time while staying fairly anonymous is nicholas Roche. might he be able to get away late on in the race?

 

[Tyke1968]

The spaniard is Erviti .

 

[davis_123]

Break could be down to 3 soon

 

[Polyarmour]

13mins 40secs, 6 laps to catch breakaways, now requires 2mins 16sec per lap.

 

[Curls_21]

Are the British riding together? Don't think I have seen a shot of them together yet.

The 3 of them were sitting beside Cancellara last lap

Please stop with the pictures Daotec. It's a nice thought but not appreciated on my slow connection and it makes reading the text on here (which is my way of keeping up with the race atm) harder.

Have seen them a few times and they've always been fairly close together

Just saw 'Shut Up Legs' painted on the road

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Here comes Italia

 

[davis_123]

Maybe Cav is in better form then we give him credit for, he had time to get off his bike and write NO under "MARRY ME CAV" written on the climb.

Do you have access to a TV? It's on channel 10 today.

He had his lead out train do it for him

 

[davis_123]

The downhill seems to be causing as many problems as the uphill is, breaks appearing more on the way down then up.

 

[Tuarts]

Is it on Channel 10 or OneHD? Either way, can access it where I am.

Hard to think that 200km south of a capital city is like living in the past...

 

[MTDave]

Just read that Freire was shot by an air rifle in 2009 TDF. Did they catch the dirtbag that did it?

Today it's on plain old ordinary channel 10.

Yeah, fingers crossed rural Australia makes it into the 21st century sometime soon.

 

[davis_123]

I bet ACF was the one that put "Marry me Liggett love from Paul . S" on the road

I doubt he'd have the guts.

It was on both but they are showing the Moto GP from Japan live which starts now so its only on channel 10 now.
