Weylandt! What a surprise! Brown his usual second place.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Renaat Schotte (belgian commentator) just came in his pants

Too bad for Farrar.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Or is it Porte?

/Well, that was probably Rabo's only chance.... hehehe

 

[Spare Tyre]

46" for Evans & Sastre?

Sh*t.

 

[titan_90]

45 seconds

 

[Mellow Velo]

The Giro makes that windy Tour stage look like paint drying!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Really aweful performance by Greipel. If he doesn't win this one he isn't gonna win...

 

[Jamsque]

Too bad for Farrar.

Too bad for a lot of guys. Tough stage today, staying in the front group was equal parts luck and skill I think. Vino has come out of the first three stages smelling like roses (ho ho), the pressure will be on Astana in the TTT now, with Garmin biting at their heels (but a man down now)

 

[Kender]

it's a shame a crash can cause so much GC split

Nice win for Weylandt.

Brown second... hmm... sounds familiar.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Well Wiggins is definately out of the GC losing 4 mins.

 

[Jamsque]

Jesus, Sky train coming in nearly four minutes down. What a disaster.

 

[Cobblestones]

Vino in pink?

Kind of like a rosé

Called it.

Greipel???

 

[Mellow Velo]

The Sky train arrives at the station, 4 minutes late.

 

[Kender]

Really aweful performance by Greipel. If he doesn't win this one he isn't gonna win...

cav is laughing at him right now

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Vino in pink, Porte 2nd.

 

[Spare Tyre]

Well Wiggins is definately out of the GC losing 4 mins.

From joy on Saturday to misery on Monday

Normally he wins this sprint against Weylandt and Frösi pretty easily. He was really really weak today, don't know what's up to him. If he's that weak/ill he should've told HTC to ride for Goss.

 

[Jamsque]

Liquigas have also done very well these past two days, Nibali and Basso have made the split both days.

Millar may be in with a shot at the Maglia Rosa if an 8-man Garmin can put a few seconds into Astana in the Team Time Trial.

 

[theyoungest]

Bruseghin loses 7 minutes in the Dutch Dolomites.

edit: did I say 7? I meant 8, of course.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Never mind the rainbow curse, we have pink poison.
Riders will be coming in for the next 15 minutes.......

 

[Spare Tyre]

Vino in pink, Porte 2nd.

Porte is having an amazing introduction to GTs. He'll probably think they all go like this.
