[Froome19]

Viewer discretion is advised.

 

[Highlander]

No, option three. They came back from behind. Cavs group was very small. But another group returned.

Thanks. That is why I love the spring classics because I can never keep track of all the groups on the road, especially when watching it in a language that I don't speak.

 

[boomcie]

Wheres Goss? gone?

No, he's there.

 

[Tom T.]

Cav group might make it back.....could be tight.

 

[jens_attacks]

more than 30 seconds,game over for cav

 

[boomcie]

Cav group might make it back.....could be tight.

Don't think so.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Looks like Cav isn't going to win this year for sure

 

[Trofinios]

Did I hear right, Sky has only Knees i Cancellaras group? If so, what a fail.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Cav group might make it back.....could be tight.

They need another group to catch them because they're short on numbers otherwise

Looks like EBH too. Not sure where Eisel is.

edit: or maybe it's Eisel on Knees wheel.

Oh I don't know.

So who are the favourites in the front group now other than Boonen?

 

[Highlander]

The break just patted each other on the back. I know that a break is expected in a race like this, but I thought that the 2 leaders did a great job today. They may have been helped by the peloton's refusal to race for most of the day, but they definitely held out much longer than I thought they would.

 

[Fus087]

Izagirre and Lund shaking hands.
Well done.

 

[nvpacchi]

Nice job by the two gents up front. Wish they could have held on

 

[Publicus]

Lead group must have really turned up the heat, the Cav group was a lot closer at one point.

 

[dlwssonic]

Go Greg!!!!

 

[DominicDecoco]

This race has been far better than we could have expected. At least the last 40 km.

 

[Tom T.]

I think you're right. For a bit there they were only 25 sec behind the Cance/Boonen group but it's going back out now.

 

[RedZone]

yeah no way back for cav etc, but that front groups pretty strong. Boonen, friere, goss, benatti, sagan, rojas to name a few.

 

[boomcie]

So who are the favourites in the front group now other than Boonen?

Goss, Sagan, Boonen, Freire, Benatti ( ), Rojas...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So who are the favourites in the front group now other than Boonen?

Sagan, Bennati, Breschel, Goss, Oss, Rojas, Freire, couple of others

 

[jens_attacks]

let's see the cancellara-bennati approach

 

[Trofinios]

Yep, looks like EBH on Knees wheel.
