Mirco LORENZETTO = DNS

 

[Bala Verde]

Paolini, Pettachi, Boonen..


O'Grady is out already, crashed on km 29...

forgot the other P and B; Bozzato and Pennati

 

[Merckx]

Hehe, I agree Dekker but it's always fun to have a darkhorse to cheer for

 

[Merckx]

Are there any video feeds up, by the way?

 

[Daniel Benson]

Not yet, but things look like they're hotting up nicely. Astana on the front now.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Q Step picking up on that Californian IOU?

 

[Daniel Benson]

think they've got the team to control the entire race?

 

[ElChingon]

I'm surprised there are no roadside sightings listed on the live? Commentators asleep at the keyboard?

 

[Merckx]

awesome, live on eurosport in french.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Tyler Farrar out. Suspected fractured clavicle.....

 

[Merckx]

When did this happen? They didnt mention it on Eurosport. Do you know whether that coverage is live?

 

[Merckx]

Is that armstrong riding at the front of the peloton?

 

[tifosa]

If Cav does take the win, I'll be happily delusional. If not, I'll be happily delusional for the other guy who wins. It's cycling, man. The best sport ever. Why not be happy?

 

[Ninety5rpm]

Is that armstrong riding at the front of the peloton?

15:28 CET 256km/42km to go
Acqua e Sapone is on the front as well, with Garzelli patiently sitting behind his teammate.

Armstrong is also sitting in the peloton, as is Mark Cavendish.

I'm still guessing he's protected until the end for a Merckxian finish.

 

[Merckx]

Pozzato does indeed look pretty strong.

 

[Mellow Velo]

When did this happen? They didnt mention it on Eurosport. Do you know whether that coverage is live?

Heard it live on RAI, with my dodgy Italian....

Armstrong out the back, riding with McEwen and way behind Cavendish on the Cipressa!
No wonder he sounded bored in his RAI interview....

 

[Merckx]

and the attacks begin

 

[Merckx]

this is going to be a good finish.

 

[Merckx]

what speed by haussler

 

[Merckx]

haha my bad! what a performance by the cav!

 

[Ninety5rpm]

Your deluding yourselves, there is no way in hell Cavendish will survive the finale. Not this year.

Had to remind you.

 

[Merckx]

Had to remind you.

hehe so true. I'm happy for the kid, first of many ?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Your deluding yourselves, there is no way in hell Cavendish will survive the finale. Not this year.

I humbly retract my words.

Wow.

 

[Merckx]

It's ok, we forgive you, haha. You are definitely not the only surprised person here. I'm pretty psyched about this win, fairly big Cav fan!
