Yeah, nice to see James Richardson.

Would be nice to have someone who actually knows something about cycling, but you cant have it all

 

[Jamsque]

Anyone know how Sacha Modolo is going? He rode a great sprint to get 4th last year but I have no idea what chance he has of another top 10.

 

[Andy99]

WTF. Eurosport are doing a minute or 2 in the studio before the race. Its only a monument. WOW. Probably only because its a Cav race but still, this is great news.

Yeah, and its not even live on International. British Eurosport are evidently realising that the demand is there..

 

[Publicus]

Picture is clearer on Gazzeta, but i have an affinity for the Sporza commentators (even though I don't speak or understand a word of Flemish)

 

[Descender]

Any news on Hushovd?

Last news he was 1 minute behind the peloton and touching his leg.

 

[Anonymous]

wish eurosport would go to the race. Sporza are already there. 87k to go.

 

[Parrulo]

i only have eurosport 1 and they are showing motherf*cking skying over M-SR. i live in portugal you niggaz we don't have snow so why would we care about some northen european guys skying? <_<

 

[The Hitch]

If Goss wins, wonder if Cav celebrates when he crosses the line. IfCav wins wonder whether the British press will make a deal out of it. Probably wont even make the news

 

[Faserr]

Wasn't that the HTC Cav train behind the peloton?

 

[Parrulo]

freire has a problem

 

[superconfex]

flat for oscar

 

[TourOfSardinia]

O.Freire chain problem ...

 

[Spare Tyre]

Can't you find a less offensive way to express your frustration?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Rabobank taking a very long time to get going with freire.

 

[thrawn]

Freire having bike difficulties.

 

[Tuarts]

Freire down also?

edit: Nevermind

 

[auscyclefan94]

Can't you find a less offensive way to express your frustration?

Agreed, I hate when people use that word freely in their sentences.

 

[Jamsque]

More importantly, did Cav get dropped yet?

 

[Mellow Velo]

I'm still 10 minutes behind, playing catch up with Rai.
Hushovd doesn't look great.
Langeveld, Matthews and Arvesen among the crashees, along with half of Cofidis and the compulsory Euskatel deck merchant.

At the foot of the climb, Liquigas took off, so a lot of folks are out the back...........

 

[auscyclefan94]

this a surprise. A race cadel is not in and BMC are on the front.

 

[Anonymous]

Looks like rain towards the finish.

Leyotard have requested the race be neutralized

 

[Faserr]

More importantly, did Cav get dropped yet?

well, I think I saw a big HTC Train. That was probably behind the peloton.

 

[eljimberino]

Feeds seem to be all over the shop, Gazetta appear to be truly live.

 

[Parrulo]

Can't you find a less offensive way to express your frustration?

oh noes he said niggaz.

 

[Faserr]

Wow, group of 20-30 rirders at the front.
A lot of BMC guys, Greipel/Gilbert/Roelandts, Boonen, Ballan
