[Netserk]

I thought i was the only one disliking Voeckler but i guess not. Really hope he doesn't win.

I hate him as well, but better him than one of the cowards in the bunch.

EDIT: A more honest answer would be: better him than Purito

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Link please?

 

[pastronef]

come on, catch him!

From live feed.

"Voeckler gets another gel from the team car. It was a very long hand-off..... And if he continues to throw the gel away after such a long hand-off, the race jury just might have something to say about it."

 

[maltiv]

He'll definitely be caught now. Very easy for the peloton to chase hard on this section here.

 

[spalco]

Link please?

I'm watching here, even though it's in some language I don't understand a word of.

Glad Nibali crashed

Are you kidding? He's the only one who's done anything today.

roundabout says hello, i think.

 

[Parrulo]

Costa helping with the chase

I don't know what i dislike more, Voeckler or this route. . .

 

[webvan]

What Costa pulling? Guess he's trying to make up for his stolen WC win ;-)

Gap not 2' anymore I'd say...

Wow, what crap weather, sucks :-( After MSR, the WC, now this, not good advertising for Italy!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Voeckler is a bad mofo. Superb racing here.

"Voeckler gets another gel from the team car. It was a very long hand-off..... And if he continues to throw the gel away after such a long hand-off, the race jury just might have something to say about it."

This has seriously become a joke the last few years. They should ban all contact between rider and car that goes on for more than 1-2 seconds. Got a mechanical? Get off your bike. Need some gel? Then have some gel, not a free tow. You crashed and want to draft behind a car? Tough luck.

You break any of these rules? You're out.

 

[Arredondo]

Voeckler in difficulty

According to Sporza, the gap is only 1.30!

 

[roundabout]

roundabout says hello, i think.

I actually like him today. Still mildly annoying, but racing well

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Costa working for Valv/Quintana

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

So many people here moan about lack of characters and lack of racing from far out.

Then showman Tommy goes for home from 55km out, and gets more hate than anyone.

What do you want guys? Long range attacks as long as they are not long and characterful riders who remain stoic and boring?

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Mick Rogers there in the business end ..yayyyy

 

[Le Baroudeur]

Mick Rogers there in the business end ..yayyyy

Sutherland I think

 

[SafeBet]

Hes gonna win it by two minutes. Yeah sure.


Rosa and Pozzovivo back in the peloton.
Raining hard now.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Raining cats and dogs now.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Ah rain. Will we get live pictures from the final climb this year?

 

[SKSemtex]

I'm watching here, even though it's in some language I don't understand a word of.

if you hear a lot of "Majka" , it is polish probably

 

[Arredondo]

Ah rain. Will we get live pictures from the final climb this year?

If we don't, Purito wil win

I completely agree. I'm an opinionated cycling fan too, but sometimes you just have to give respect where it's due even if you don't like the player.
