LOL. You're not joking, are you?

The guy won't come top 20.

We'll see. Former pursuiter and lead out man for forster. Has a good turn of speed to go from 1km to go on a road stage.

 

[Mellow Velo]

cool if you find a feed can you let me know?

If you find a link can you post it please? Thanks.

That is the headache, guys. It is out there..........somewhere........I'm looking and will keep looking, but I've got it on tv.

I think Porte will be the best placed Aussie.

How about a bet and I'm quite happy to generous here.

If Roberts comes top 30, I'll shout you Alcohol (whatever you drink) in Geelong at the World's later this year. Two bottles.

If Roberts does not come top 30, you buy me two beers?

Sounds like a good deal?

Edit: Just so you're not a smart-**** and want me to buy you a couple bottles of Red wine over 300 bucks, if the bet wins, the limit will be a maximum of $50 per bottle

Them's pretty good odds, is this offer open to all, or only ACF?

Maybe if Roberts comes inside the top 30 you have to streak on the main worlds climb and vice cersa if you are right.

So you don't drink alcohol?

Please think of the children and go for the booze.

At the moment only ACF.

Declare where you're from and I may think about it.

The question is, who would then bail each other out of the Geelong police station?

just back from taking a look at the set up at the depart. still a surreal image, seeing the giro in the midst of mokum.

 

[karlboss]

i think porte is a good tip for top aussie, maybe even the win if he can stay upright.

Thanks for that........Mollema off second last for all you dutchies.........and Richie Porte is off seventh last........................and the final starter Mr. Greipel

Does anybody know what the 'G' column is for ie. some riders have a 'G' in a column whilst others don't. Certain photographers? or cameras? or maybe those riders will have some sort of technology on their bike like at the worlds last year ie. GPS positioning, cadence, speed etc. I really can't figure it out. Someone willing to enlighten me

See some parcours with 'R' and 'TV', what do they mean?

 

[trompe le monde]

tv is an intermediate sprint allegedly and the 'R' is the feed zone.

 

[joy118118]

For when Radio and Television coverage commences.

By the way, were you being sarcastic?

Thank you.

Just know nothing of it.

cool pics, still looks like a decent amount of work left to do? I like the start ramp/area.

 

[GoGarmin]

Interesting that Garmin and Saxo Bank have chosen to send Christian Van de Velde and Gustav Larsson out relatively early in the day, more than 2 hours before the final riders will start.

Shifting winds?

I was surprised to see that HTC got the final spot in the prologue unless the organizers were hoping that they would put Pinotti in this slot with the hopes of an Italian getting the jersey on the first day. If anything, I thought maybe that BMC would go at the end because Cadel was already given #1 for the race.

By the way, does anyone know how the organizers decide the team order for the prologue of a GT? I always thought that it was tied into performance from last year, but that doesn't seem to be the case based on the order that is listed here.
