As good as Voeckler. Maybe even better.

definitely weaker than thomas

Wonderful

What the hell was that big black thing in the field in the Netherlands?

Some piece of 'art' called the Resting Horse.

 

[roundabout]

Wonderful

It's a wide open race, then.

incredible how strong is chavanel after 40 km of escape,riding most of it on his own,he still can win it

wow! 6.5km and 39"

he's gaining time back, yes!!!

 

[Tuarts]

Gap going up now that Roux is in front

 

[hrotha]

Wonderful

If it helps, I'd say Roux is faster, but the finish might suit Voeckler better.

I know, it doesn't help.

Some piece of 'art' called the Resting Horse.

Thanks goodness, I thought it was something far ruder than that!

 

[Havetts]

3,5 kms to go in Dutch RR

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ligthart must win this

 

[Spine Concept]

Why didn't Boom go on the attack with Mollema and Tankink? Pim Ligthart will win this if the lead group make it. Ridiculous tactics by Rabo.

 

[Havetts]

Cmon TGBM, 2 kilometer solo !

 

[Tuarts]

Slyvain will stay away at this rate, unless they eat into the time dramatically

 

[ingsve]

In Norway there is a group of 15 with Alexander Kristoff (no other WT pros in the group) that still has 3:50 on the main field with Hushovd though they are slowly losing time. There are 4 laps left out of 12.

ta!

off to check...


********
4.5km and 44" in the french race

 

[The Sheep]

Honig is going to win right

 

[Tuarts]

Oh, so Dutch race will finish ahead of the french one - pretty close timing there

 

[Moondance]

Honig is going to win right

Now way anyone outsprints Ligthart...

 

[Tuarts]

43 seconds now! Chavanel is doing it...

 

[Havetts]

Tankink and Mollema don't do enough to make it hard enough for Vacansoleil

 

[hrotha]

Why isn't anybody attacking Ligthart?

 

[Spine Concept]

Rob Ruyg has done an amazing job for Ligthart. No wonder he's going to the Tour.

 

[Havetts]

Cmon mollema, do it then...

 

[Tuarts]

Well done Chavanel, gap up to 50secons with 3km to go. He's done it. Very hard ride

 

[Moondance]

Cmon mollema, do it then...

TGBM is The Most Bountiful, The Most Generous... He'll gift the sprint to Ligthart

 

[mulletCobra]

Bravo Chavanel!
