So, where's this rain everyone was talking about?

Roads look wet though. Might be the reason for all the crashes that have been reported.

there is none. weather reports are so often wrong. here the sun shines the whole day and it's supposed to rain

Time for some moderation.

If this is anything like Catalunya we can now expect there to be flash flooding on the Muur de Huy later today.

Looks like Lotto want to make the race hard today.

 

[Trofinios]

Best Sky rider today?

Uran, Nordhaug, Henao? Or maybe Lovkvist?

I say Henao. Better timing than in Vuelta Pais Vasco when he attacked in the steep final on stage 5, and we might see a relly good result by Henao.

he did not do that well in agr, so i think it might be Nordhaug that will do the best today

 

[Gloin22]

Uran reported down. Don't know how bad it was though

 

[classicomano]

I hope TMWK can stay on his bike today and ride for his own chances but since Rabo is failing so hard lately im not holding my breath.

RaiSp2 guys say it's due just about the time they do the Mur

Believe the shorter distance could suit Henao. I was actually surprised he managed to be in the front group in AGR. To my knowledge he doesn't have much experience of long and tough classics.

The Mur de Huy can favor the purer climbers, but not exclusively. Henao would be my bet for Sky today. I like Gilbert as the favourite today.

I like that Kirby has decided not to go with the traditional pronunciation of the hugely well known surname "Roux".

When they do the Mur which time?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Peloton at 4.20" at -74.7km

 

[TourOfSardinia]

When they do the Mur which time?

the final time - IIRC the rain is forecast - seems a bit too precise for me.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

the sun is starting to shine in fleche. nice

 

[El Pistolero]

Hope it rains.

1st time would be nice!

 

[BillytheKid]

Field strung out nicely...Horner caught back at the car.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Head wind slowing down the peloton?

 

[Moncoutie]

Is Armee actually getting any closer to the front two?

 

[Machu Picchu]

the sun is starting to shine in fleche. nice

Hope it rains.

Fantastic! what a great double act you two are!

Raindrops on the lens....
