March 19: Milan - San Remo 2011 298km

[The Sheep]

Id trust this forum over ES so looks like Goss is there.

So where is JJ heado.

Think he's in the second group, saw saxo riding on the front there.

 

[Francois the Postman]

You know what. I'm going with Freire to win. Rabo has been strong at this point in the season and I guess they could be motoring to the 1st group. Freire doesn't need the team for anything, after that.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

one ES live, anyone know who the former racer is doing some of the commentary?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

are radios allowed today?

Yup, all WT & HT this year. (Apart from Beijing, where there will be no radios 7 no riders)

 

[Jamsque]

This is gonna come back together for certain.

 

[Ferminal]

lol @ Harmon "It is as we suspected, Matt Goss"

10mins ago you said he's definitely not there.

 

[Tuarts]

Screw Petacchi - where's Bole?!?

Talk about hyperBOLE...

:coat:

Who is Ballan working for??

If he's working than Hincapie or vA

Gap coming down now, Gazetta ticked doesn't appear to be update at all either

 

[zapata]

the gap might increase still, if the leopards decide to start working. are we sure bennati is in the first group? i thought i saw him in the second group, but I'm no good at recognizing riders.

I guess you refer to the great Sean Kelly

 

[The Hitch]

Well done to the poster who said this was like worlds Geelong. I can see the parallels and i think that group 1 will get caught.

In fact if Gilbert goes and predictably turns out once again to just not be good enough on the flat (not quite Cancellara) then you will have been spot on.

 

[roundabout]

Lol at angry Terpstra

Someone else needs to help Lotto/Katusha/BMC

 

[woodie]

are radios allowed today?

Yes, it's got historic status and im pretty sure it's part of the world tour calender.

Second group comes back Cav ftw

 

[Von Mises]

Why is Leopard not working? What are they waiting?

 

[Moondance]

are radios allowed today?

Yes.

All WorldTour races have radios this year.

 

[Andy99]

BMC nicely working themselves over..

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

aaaaaaaaah yes. thx

 

[Ildabaoth]

I'm hoping a non sprinter will win today, even if the 2nd group close the gap. Must helpers will be really tired by then, so it would be easier for a puncheur to attack later on. Wishful thinking.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Some teams are being very selfish in not assisting BMC and katusha with setting the pace for group 1.

The split in geelong was way different because it was in the 2nd circuit.

 

[woodie]

Gap now 1'40

 

[Ferminal]

So.... HTC and Garmin not working in the second group, happy enough with Goss and Haussler (why wouldn't you be), so if it comes back together they should have some legs left to keep it settled.

 

[hrotha]

Why is the gap decreasing? Whenever they show the chasing group, it looks like it's just random individuals from unimportant teams pulling. Doesn't make sense.

Talk about hyperBOLE...

:coat:

Sorry I might have to beat you up now.

I noticed that! like me on the way to work..

I reckon this will come back BTW because none of the big hitters behind have started trying yet.

 

[Parrulo]

lets hope they don't get back together . . . .a non sprinter M-SR would be cool

Gilbert just has to control power of his attack this time, so that he is not alone on flat then.

Yeah, could play well into htc/sky/garmin's hands this
