Cav going backwards immediately...so much for good form

Yeah, he imagined winning those races this early season. Everyone knows good form protects you from bugs, so he's clearly just not been training all winter.

if BMC had thor, the win would be much easier but now they have to attack.

 

[Trofinios]

Capo Berta will finally break Cav.

Cav near front? Not any more he's not. Looks like he's really suffering. Guy clearly isn't 100%.

He's a poor climber at the best of times, but when he's 100% he's not THIS bad.

You should have seen him 50km ago when the split happened. The way he's moving his neck, i'd be amazed if he isn't ill.

Interesting that Cav is riding a different Pinarello from the rest of the team. I noticed the same type of frame under Wiggins at the P-N time trial.

Group 2 gave up, sky gave up.

 

[superconfex]

over for Cav

Thor would make no difference, there are faster guys he can't drop.

Half wonder if Sky might benefit if Cav gave up. Maybe the peloton would ease up a touch allowing the other riders to get back and give some help to EBH. Then again its maybe getting too late now, someone will want to use their domestiques and make it hard, plus the Sky guys must be pretty tired now, been a good effort by them

Is there an English language live feed available?

Right..... Come on Philbert

Yeah if it was an easy bunch sprint. This is a hard one and cav has been dropped.

Cav thanks his teammates and gives up.

Gotta give it to him, he might be a jerk in general, but he's genuinely nice to his teammates. Unless they're Greipel, of course.

 

[Zoncolan]

Look out for a RSNT 1-2. Cancellara and Bennati. Canc will have a dig and be marked/pulled back, Bennati to jump next. A bit of hesitation from the rest and he'll stay away.

lol sky should not have sacrificed so many riders just for cav.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

bizzare tactic from sky.

 

[virandociclista]

It will be interesting if cav was riding for Becca... Maybe he will be fired today.

Sky made a mistake dropping back to get him on Manie. Should have known he wouldn't last.

steephill.tv has been as reliable as ever listing feeds

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

No other team willing/able/motivated to work for the large 2nd Group? Garmin given up on Farrar?

 

[Trofinios]

Is there anyone beside Lofkvist who is with EBH up front?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Yeah if it was an easy bunch sprint. This is a hard one and cav has been dropped.

What is it with BMC fans and not reading what I post even when responding to me.

Once again, there are faster riders he can't drop. Both in form, Thor can't drop Goss and he can't beat him in a sprint. I'm not even sure Thor can beat Fab in a sprint anymore.
