Giro d'Italia Stage 2: Amsterdam-Utrecht (209km)

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

sastre must have missed out too

 

[Francois the Postman]

They should have grounded the riders instead of planes.

 

[Christian]

Unbelievable. This stage is an absolute scandal in my opinion !!

 

[issoisso]

This isn't racing, this is MADNESS

This. Is.

 

[r.avens]

God judged him and gave him his verdict...

but did God knock him down or put him back on the bike?

 

[Mellow Velo]

All of Cervelo out the back. Can only mean one thing.

 

[Publicus]

Sastre out back too.

Well it is TTT practice.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

the gap isn't too bad for sastre.

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

Who's idea was it to come to Holland?

 

[Jamsque]

This. Is.

I set them up, you knock 'em down.

Hard to tell what is going on. Wiggins has not yet chased back on, and the gap is about ten seconds.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

we need a GT in holland. I'd be surprised if anyone lasts the race

 

[trompe le monde]

Okay since ACF isn't around and someone has to ask, where's Evans?

 

[issoisso]

Wiggins gives up the chase!

Bookwalter in pink?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Yeah go Vino!

 

[Highlander]

That may explain why Liquigas is so active at the front right now as they may want to put some gaps in especially since Wiggins has been dropped. I see Garmin is also moving up so they probably just want to make sure that Wiggins loses the jersey.

 

[Race Radio]

A lot of Garmin guys up there. Supposed to be a wicked turn at 250 to go

 

[issoisso]

That was a *** sprint.

Farrar takes pink?

 

[trompe le monde]

Awesome win for Farrar!

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

Farrar takes it!

 

[Publicus]

Farrar!!!!!!! Now who is in the Maglia Rosa?

 

[Highlander]

I think that there is something wrong with my TV feed as it looks like Farrar actually won the stage rather than coming in his usual 2nd or 3rd.

 

[Race Radio]

Tyler, Tyler, Tyler!!!!!! nice

 

[pedaling squares]

Nice finish by Garmin, looked like HTC got caught up in the 2nd last corner.

 

[luckyboy]

Mad stuff. Nice win for Farrar though. Greipel went a tad early.

 

[Jamsque]

Henderson went way too early, and then it was a straight drag race between Farrar and 'Greipel'.
