[Cobblestones]

Popo? I almost spit my coffee on my screen.

Just had finished mine (coffee that is) which is what saved me.

Like what? Toughen up princess! You are acting very moronic.

come on ladies, play nicely

 

[auscyclefan94]

hincapie on the front.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

EBH is clearly struggling...

Yup, last in the group doesn't bode well, but at least he's not been dropped. Time yet for a second wind.

stay on the topic boyos, and stop with the insults.

great race btw

 

[Ildabaoth]

not really sure that it was a 'tactic' to allow the race to split on a wet descent

Sure it wasn't. But not chasing the front group hoping Goss would resist was.

 

[thrawn]

Wow. Scarponi only 16 seconds back at the top. Can he rejoin on the descent?

 

[Andy99]

Scarponi VERY close to the front group now

 

[Francois the Postman]

Guys, drop that personal sniping. There is a race on.

 

[skidmark]

lead group looking around a bit... I wonder. This finish should be interesting. Who will have anything left?

Gilbert and Ballan to break away is my best guess, but who knows.

 

[roundabout]

only Scarponi and Duque brave/strong enough to chase

 

[sublimit]

Scarponi coming up 16 seconds back

 

[Andy99]

Its coming back now definitely...

 

[auscyclefan94]

rogers working for sky

 

[Tuarts]

Total mayhem!!!!

 

[luckyboy]

2nd group split.

 

[thrawn]

Second group was in pieces as they came across the top. Good racing!

 

[auscyclefan94]

scarponi...very impressive.

 

[microdose]

got to admire Scarponi for that

 

[Cobblestoned]

good attack from popovych

I somewhere heard he is in jail and will not race anywhere this season.

 

[Andy99]

29 seconds to the sky split

 

[The Sheep]

only Scarponi and Duque brave/strong enough to chase

Duque was dropped from the 1st group

 

[auscyclefan94]

51 seconds to sky lead group

 

[Moondance]

If Scaponi doesn't make it back before the flat he's blown his chances.

 

[roundabout]

Duque was dropped from the 1st group

Ah, i see. Thank you. Only Scarponi then.
