[Zinoviev Letter]

Martin attacks a few more times in Ireland. Eventually he gets clear with only Brammeier able to follow. Roche, Bennett and McCann are 15 seconds behind. Lavery and McLaughlin a few seconds further back. Irvine seems to have been dropped by all of them.

 

[The Sheep]

He needed to take a dump

 

[Moondance]

Gesink straight to the team bus...???

OMG if this is an injury I might cry.

 

[Havetts]

Well when Gesink let the group go he grabbed for his upper legs... :S

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

He needed to take a dump

Either that or he pulled a muscle with that attack and can now forget about the Tour, would be so typical

 

[Chef_Vodnik]

He's probably done his share of the work for today and has decided to quit. The tour only starts in the second week, remember...

 

[Havetts]

Im confused, I'll cry if he has an injury..

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Either that or he pulled a muscle with that attack and can now forget about the Tour, would be so typical

Which means he can win the Vuelta then, there is always a positive side

Where did Weening go? And that other Vancansoleil one?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

In Ireland, Martin and Brammeier are now working together and pulling away from Roche, McCann and Bennett. Gap up to 31 seconds. It's looks as if it's one or the other.

He'd worked but not a whole lot...

That 'attack' by Gesink could have lost them the nats and their only hope at success for the Tour. It was far too early in the race, so the cycling Gods may have decided to punish them for their stupidity.

I'm confused about the swiss and german nationals... Swiss does not show any updates for half an hour now and germany seems to have crashed at the sprint

 

[Lupetto]

Cancellara wins ahead of Morabito.

Cancellara won in Switzerland, Robert Wagner in Germany.
