WTF 3 Germans !

 

[Polyarmour]

Italians are going to 1 2 everyone to death

 

[Izzy eviel]

Guys, I'm starting to get worried now. I don't think David Millar is going to win.

Starting to cheer for Evans & Moerenhout.

 

[Spare Tyre]

Who is butchering German (and LS?)?

LS = forum member Libertine Seguros, who frequently corrects ACF94's attempts at German, and English.

 

[Parrot23]

Nibali is one cool customer. Never lost his head in Vuelta. Smart guy under pressure.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Nibali too good for his own good. And this is when I love it that they don't have race radios. Use his own brain.

Poels? For real?

 

[davis_123]

Big danger here, the other favourites will have to chase now no support riders left

 

[maltiv]

EBH disappeared. Weird, he was in front of Greipel/Tony Martin/Lars Boom on the top of the climb but now he is gone

 

[DAOTEC]

No Farrer so it will be Italy ...

 

[balkou]

good morning... Italian job, isn't it?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Daotec, you are way behind. There are no more 3 germans, there is only a 12 men group (and now Nibali solo).

Are you actually watching the race at all?

 

[joy118118]

Greipel is not there. It is Wegmann.

It seems that TJVG is still there.

 

[Parrot23]

LOL, is that Evans going after Nibali?

Correction: sorry. Feed breaking up here.

 

[Curls_21]

Cav retired... maybe next year.

If Cav, Farrar and Greipel keep their form next season we have our podium already

Race is starting to get very interesting; come on Gilbert!!

WTF 3 Germans !

Only Greipel there as the big hide out !

 

[mightymac12]

Call me crazy, but I like Haimar.

 

[online-rider]

EBH disappeared. Weird, he was in front of Greipel/Tony Martin/Lars Boom on the top of the climb but now he is gone

Simple explanation? EBH is massively over-rated by the users of this forum

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Whatever the result is. Koos Moerenhout is a legend.

 

[luckyboy]

Where is this group on the road? The one with Serpa + 2 Italians?

 

[davis_123]

5 men to decide the race among themselves here, if your in the 2nd group you have to close this on the 1st climb this time around.

 

[The Hitch]

What is the gap to the main peloton?

 

[DAOTEC]

Whatever the result is. Koos Moerenhout is a legend.

Agree 100 % .................

 

[Francois the Postman]

BBC just put Terpstra up front for the Dutch.

Thump..... thump....... thump.....

 

[joy118118]

200+km is too long for young guns like EBH and P Sagan.

 

[hfer07]

getting interesting by every second- Gilbert still hiding-so Pozzato...
