March 19: Milan - San Remo 2011 298km

[roundabout]

Ahh, Pozzatto is sucking all wheels at once

 

[Faserr]

So, any sprinters spotted in the Katusha led group? Besides Pozzato.

Greipel and Boonen.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Who's in the second peloton? Freire, Cav, Hushovd & Goss?

Just freire I think - certainly seen Cav & Thor in the main peloton.

 

[Andy99]

Think they are all in the main group now.

Except Oscar,..

 

[superconfex]

Wyss and Schar on the front for BMC!

who are they working for ???

 

[thrawn]

Think they are all in the main group now.

From what I gather the Hushovd, Cav etc. group is 2 mins behind the BMC led group that has Cancellara, Gilbert etc. in it.

 

[Parrulo]

are there really 2+minutes btw the first group and the freire group?

 

[auscyclefan94]

hushovd is in the 2nd peleton

 

[Andy99]

Hmm yeah, I'm doubting myself now too...!

 

[hrotha]

How did that split happen? I missed it.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Lot of confused information to be honest - have a feeling the CN live feed is regurgitating rubbish from this forum.

Cav & Thor are definately in the same group, which as far as I can tell is the main peloton.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Ballan and van avermaet probably.

Yep, but minute to two minutes behind the O'grady/Canc group.

 

[The Hitch]

I just realised, no one has tipped Peter the Great ftw.

Too late, hes my pick now

 

[thrawn]

Any sighting of which group Haussler is in?

 

[ingsve]

Would be somewhat of an anticlimax if too many of the favourites lose out because of a crash.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

My best guess is the 2 minutes refers to freire et al, and the earlier katusha/lotto small group is essentially waited for the main peloton.

 

[Andy99]

Any sighting of which group Haussler is in?

Not seen him. Farrar is defo with Hushovd though

You would be wrong. It's a full on pursuit between katusha/lotto and the cavendish group

No Freire was already in the second peloton as I saw Boom next to Hushovd + Cav

 

[Moondance]

Oh no.... Sagan in the front group.

If he wins MSR I might.....

 

[LukeSchmid]

I think Hushovd is in the front group. Friere in the second group. Visconti could be too because his team are working hard on the front of the second group

 

[The Hitch]

Lastras fail (to get bag). Wonder if Mcgeek will attack on the Poggio.

 

[Parrulo]

hahah got to love cippolini. he is on the phone with the gazzetta guys. and the commentators told him that in the past few years there has been some sort of "fair play" in the peloton that would make people in the front in this kind of situation but that wasn't happening today and asked for his thoughts on the situation. and his words were "show must go on"

 

[auscyclefan94]

Yikes two minutes between the two main groups.
