Geelong 2010: Elite Men's Road Race 262.7km

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Freire can still win *scary though*

 

[Straßenrennen]

Shleck is still on his bike? Interesting.

Gregor bole, Hushovd in the group! this is going to be a mega sprint

 

[davis_123]

It is getting fun thats for sure, cadel + gilbert + pazzato attack

 

[The Barb]

The peloton is a non-factor at this stage.

Really?!?!?!?!

Good chance someone from main peloton wins.

Serpa, Sorenson, Moerenhout rode across to Nibali, towed Visconti with them.

One year ago when I thought the course was completely flat, I was saying that I thought most teams would try to let the break stick to avoid the inevitable Cav-Farrar showdown. So I thought someone random like Visconti could win...

He is by far the best sprinter in that group, and could be better on an uphill finish than Gilbert anyway.

EBH and Greipel are definitely off the pace now, so it's turned out to be an Ardennes-like race after all.

Nibali, Visconti, Sorensen, Moerenhout and Serpa


Grupo Gilbert y Evans now 20 segundos behind

 

[goggalor]

Gilbert fudged up?

 

[Parrot23]

The peloton at 49 seconds!!!

Everything is possible.

That's coming down fast. Spanish are pulling.

If it's together and chaotic at end, I say Freire wins. Smart at positioning. Done it so many times.

 

[Curls_21]

Is there anyone who isn't a sprinter as far a Hugh is concerned Kolobnev just got called a sprinter

[luckyboy]

Graphics just showed Plaza as being in the front group

This whole race has been seriously confusing.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The peloton is becoming a factor again. The difference is only 39 seconds and the group Gilbert is almost caught

 

[The Hitch]

Is Canc in the peloton? If the gap goes down a bit more i can see a killer attack. Surely hell have more energy than those whove been out.

 

[Nick777]

I reckon it's all coming back together. Someone has to go now.

 

[Teddy Boom]

Two laps to go, and still nobody knows if it is a course for the sprinters or not
(at least Cav is history)

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

A mass sprint is still a possibility
Hushovd is still there.

 

[hfer07]

Fvvvckkkk-not a massive sprint-for pete's sake...

 

[goggalor]

Gilbert fudged up?

Or will the peloton save him?

 

[balkou]

Farrar isn't anymore in the bunch, they say in RAI

 

[luckyboy]

A mass sprint is still a possibility
Hushovd is still there.

Wish the finish was closer to the last climb.

 

[davis_123]

so 5 guys vs the group now lol

Allan Davis might be our only hope now.

 

[DAOTEC]

1. Visconti
2. Nibali
3 Sorensen
4. Moerenhout
5. Serpa
6. Gilbert a 22"

[online-rider]

**** My beers all finished!

 

[The Hitch]

Will we see Gilbert LBL repeat. In a group with Cuddles and 1 other. Grits his teeth to close the gap. Halves it before blowing.
