Chasers working harder now ... 45s not a winning break.

Damn this is developing into an interesting race.

Cav might have been dropped form the peloton

The question is, can freire handle the pace his team is setting up the hills? And when they get back will they have anything left to chase back the attacks that will come from guys like Gilbert, Evans?

 

[Carlo Algatrensig]

Cav might have been dropped form the peloton

Hugh Porter just said they think he's retired

 

[Tyke1968]

Cav & Hunt have climbed off say the Beeb.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Cavendish no longer in the peloton according to Sporza.

BBC said the same. Didn't show up on the ticker. It's Miller time now. had to switch the audio off, apparently Spain is pulling because their sprinter isn't up front, and they are so proud they spotted that "you think?" strategy, they repeated it twice to gloat. Phil & Paul, all is forgiven.

Cavendish abandon

Is that Sanchez the sprinter? That BBC guy was the worst cycling commentator I've heard.

'Nuremburg Ring' :/

 

[Straßenrennen]

Who have the beeb got commentating? Surely Boardmann must be there?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I think Lars Boom just dropped off the front group.

Guess why?
It has been 200km

 

[Parrot23]

Wonder who is going to be able to take Gilbert's wheel near end if/when he goes?

EBH, Pozzato? Cadel's diesel engine is not going to help here.

 

[LukeSchmid]

Griepel, Hagan and Gerrans lost time on the climb. Going to struggle to stay with the group.

 

[davis_123]

Nibali could be a danger here

 

[Tuarts]

Goss abandoned too

 

[Francois the Postman]

How far out are we gonna get Evan's "if I'm going out, I'm going out with flying honour" breakaway attempt?

Hopefully nobody.

 

[Parrot23]

Nibali could be a danger here

Form from Vuelta seems key the last few years for WC.

Hopefully nobody.

LOL, I don't disagree! Gilbert's uphill accelerations are fantastic.

 

[davis_123]

only 35 seconds between them now.

 

[Curls_21]

Not surprised that Cav and Hunt have stepped off; have Dean and Sagen also retired?

Can't see Greipel hanging onto the pace, all is looking good for a Gilbert win

Would be useful to have a list of DNF's

Edit - Goss is also out according to sources

 

[WinterRider]

Has anyone seen ACF94 in the coverage, its so strange to see the lack of CAPS FOR CADEL posts.
