[Hugo Koblet]

Martinelli says that Astana will change their focus on go for stage victories and not think too much about the GC for now. But let's see.

What ? He has thrown the towel in early ...you'd think he'd wait a bit longer since we havent even climbed a mountain yet

Yeah unless Lopez is really bad I think it's really early.

And they didn't put anyone in the break, so they might just shred that volcano

Good move by Ulissi. Lots of cards to play.

 

[Red Rick]

Very interesting to see what Schachman will do today.

Listening to Eurosport ad-free instead of normal channel.So English commentary.

Who is Max Saxman?

So I'm looking at Chavez's results this year and trying to gauge his form. Apparently he had an HD from Paris Nice. Could someone tell me what this means?

Hors délai, outside the time limit.

Thanks. So I'm assuming he has been on terrible form this year?

No. He has done as well as any other spring.

Pace in the break is very low now. I really hope this won't be all back together before the Etna even starts

I honestly forgot he was in the race

Massive sticky banana for Bananito there.

If the break stays away this has to be between Chaves and Henao

Re:

I'm not that sure.

 

[Pantani_lives]

It's a mistake to let Henao in the break. They might have him in mind as alternative leader. Chaves of course important too. So the other teams will have to work hard before the Etna. You just can't give three minutes to riders like that.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

The break will be in bits before they hit the climb and the little climbers will be on the wrong side of it. If I was a GC rider I'd rather be in the peloton than in Chaves' position. In the words of Admiral Ackbar "It's a trap!"

 

[Laplaz]

Astana moving up.

 

[Amazinmets87]

Rain expected?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Astana helping BMC, guess they were the first ones to lose their nerves

Yep, nothing interesting has happened while you were watching. You know what to do now for the greater good.

I stopped watching for the last half an hour or so, but still nothing happened. Something is broken
