GP Samyn: 2nd March - 1.1

[Christian]

LEOPARD TREK broke the peloton but forgot to tell their leaders ... D'OH!

Impressive though that guys like Denifl, Pires, Mortensen and Klemme were able to create such a gap ... not exactly the biggest rouleurs

 

[Ferminal]

What's the problem?
The RTBF feed is very good, when not geo-restricted.
If you haven't got it, my guess is it's you PC clock being set on EST or is it Central?
You need to set your PC clock to CET. (15-32)

The feed loads for me fine in GMT+8. Good quality but it seems to get stuck a bit for me.

Yeah, Changing timezones didn't work for me. Must be my work connection. O well. I'll just have to follow the race with the comments on here. Thanks for the help though!

 

[Ferminal]

Are those two groups all that is left??? Still over 60km to go.

 

[Ferminal]

Ok there is a peloton there, but 30 or so up ahead (split over two groups)? What is the gap?

 

[Mellow Velo]

That front group is too big and top heavy with four LEOTARDs.
HTC doing what HTC regularly do.

As I say it, Leukemans goes off the front........

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Just started watching. Status update, someone?

 

[Christian]

Peloton almost complete again at still 60 kms to go ... should be interesting

Here is a Flemish feed you can try:

A group containing Leukemans, De Gendt, Denifl and a few others are up the road by approx 18 seconds from the peleton I think.

 

[Christian]

Now only Leukemans and Lemarchand at 10 secs ahead of the peloton

 

[TourOfSardinia]

See - the french do need aphrodisiacs!

 

[Mellow Velo]

And a flying German boiler, apparently.
(I bet those who can't watch must think we've gone bananas!)

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Will Clarke between the peloton and Leukemans?

 

[Christian]

Will Clarke between the peloton and Leukemans?

Yes that's him, nice to see him have a go

 

[Ryaguas]

I'll go with Romain Feillu FTW

Yea!! Live stream works!!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Leukemans is looking wickedly strong.
Did to the Ag2r rider, what Spartacus did to him, in Paris-Roubaix.

 

[jens_attacks]

leukemans trying a 50 solo.let's see the gap now

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Great race!

 

[Jamsque]

I think this move looks veeeery dangerous, the peloton is not getting the chase together quickly enough.

Solo rider in the lead

Chase group of 20-30 at forty seconds
Peloton at two minutes.

I think the pack is probably out of it.

 

[Matthijs]

Leukemans or the big chasing group @40sec. Chasing group contains Renshaw, van Dijk and Dehaes. peloton @2min.

@16.28 Renshaw tries alone! Not enough cooperation in the chase group apparently. He can't get away though. Chasers @1.06 peloton @2.20

some chasers: Onder anderen:
- Romain Lemarchand
- Nico Sijmens
- Mark Renshaw
- Stefan Vandijk
- Kenny De Haes
- Benoit Vaugrenard
- Nikki Terpstra
- Koen Barbé
- Frédérick Amorison

 

[jaylew]

Who's team pumpkin?

 

[sublimit]

That looked like Adam Blythe on the front of the main peleton?!
I dont think its coming back for them.
