Punishment for missing the split.

Re:

Nothing much has happened since they turned the corner in the desert, but that was a very exciting 20km

 

[nuvolablu]

Surprised Belgium hasn't attacked yet

Re:

Boring?

From the outset this was 200 guys to the finish.
Gigs didn't watch I guess.

I hope for Tommeke or EBH, probably Sagan as he looks pretty surprising good for going there 2 days ago.

Korsaaet ftw, is there any other conti riders left? This is just amazing from him..

I don't think the Moroccan guy is even Conti.

Re:

Greg has the right wheel. From Terpstra. Would be awesome if they did a duo attack.

You have to imagine that they will each make an attempt. Belgium has other riders for the sprint and Terpstra has no chance in a sprint.

Re:

Too early, GvA goes with 8k

 

[Sylvester]

I love the fact Roth, Dougall, Ait el Abdia and Berhane are still there.

The Belgians are putting all of their eggs in Boonen's basket - which might turn out not to be the best choice.

 

[Jancouver]

Benatti to lead out Sagan?

Yeah you are right

 

[Climeon]

Size of that group and how the race has been ridden, if a couple of strong riders got away I'd give them a very decent chance

What do anyone of you mean, should be a thread of its own.

Then Greg is an ideal companion for Niki. Guarentees him silver because nobody is going to let Niki go alone.

This just doesn't have the feel of a WC

 

[Jungle Cycle]

Cavs ftw

Re:

It has the feel of 2011 and 2002

At least they had a few bumps - however small - in the last 120km where action could happen. There are guys at the back of this front group who have probably averaged less than 200 watts for the past couple of hours. Way too easy for a WC.

 

[laurensde+]

GB have 25 riders, who knew?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

What's the temp now?
Viviani not looking great.

 

[TMP402]

Brian Cookson. Muahahaha

 

[meat puppet]

Attack ffs.
