Hot racing coming up in Australia

[Jungle Cycle]

any tips on how to distinguish Astana form Movistar from the heli camera??

 

[Koronin]

The blue is slightly different between Movistar and Astana, but need to see more races to be able to be sure of which is which. I really wish Movistar had kept the green for their M as that would have really made their jersey stand out from Astana's.

Could only find a Dutch one, hope it's ok. At least you don't have to listen to Phil Liggett. :lol:

Thanks

The peloton is already reduced to 70-80 riders.

 

[Velolover2]

BMC is racing this hard. Porte to attack?

 

[Velolover2]

Gerrans pulling the peloton.

 

[Velolover2]

Peter Sagan is still there.

 

[Velolover2]

Doesn't look like there is going to be any attacks. A reduced sprint is most likely.

 

[Velolover2]

Bennett attacks! Nice.

 

[Velolover2]

But Dennis neutralize the attack.

Dennis is really aware. Neutralizing several attacks for Porte.

 

[Velolover2]

Insane downhill attack by Sagan!

 

[Velolover2]

Why do Sagan always have to attack. Why not just wait for the sprint and take an easy win?

GC? Anticipate being on the defensive? Who else would control all the way if he sat back?

And it was still easy.

 

[Velolover2]

Wtf, Pozzovivo became 7th. And he was 8th yesterday.

Improved sprint?

Yeah I know. But sometimes it seems like he is too eager. It's a dangerous gamble to take.

Hells to the yes!!

At least he provides entertainment. Climbers are boring here. He gives you something to watch.

Cipozzollini.

Does that put Sagan in ochre? McCarthy must have moved up too?

Re:

Sagan leads.
Impey +2
McCarthy +9

Thanks!
Going to be exciting tomorrow. Will Sagan manage to hold onto it or pass it to McCarthy. What's Impey's chance on the hill.

 

[movingtarget]

Sagan looked pretty spent after the stage, tomorrow may be too much for him. Porte will have to do what he did last year, to win the race. Not sure he has that sort of form at the moment.

 

[yaco]

Pressure is on Porte tomorrow because he needs enough of a buffer before the last stage where there are bonus seconds during the stage and at the finish.

 

[Netserk]

Impey is the main threat to Porte, but he has to finish in the top-3 tomorrow to have a chance. Other than that, it is only an extraordinary performance from Sagan that could challenge Porte for the overall win if the latter does as usual on his climb. At this point in the race, Porte can be really happy with how the bonus seconds have been distributed so far, as this route (relatively) really didn't favour him.
