A 22 seconds gap over such a short distance, almost seems impossible.

Not if you're Swiss & know the roads better than anyone else.

Was the stage that technical then?

Don't speak to me with that tone !

 

[Jasper]

It was a genuine question, I should've added a smiley maybe? Sheesh...




Nice going by Tony Martin by the way. He seems pretty serious about testing himself to see if he can be the next Jan Ullrich.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Boy, was that one dull stage.
A 15km cat 1, with an average gradient well under 4%.
Most of the peloton made the finish and Cancellara was able to ride the silky smooth Saxo train, right at it's head.
Neutralised the few, token attacks, with ease.

Three weeks ago, he was getting dumped, just as soon as the road thought about taking an upward turn.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Zzzzz. Need more sharp, and varied climbs. Or more attacks. Or just endless marathon stages. Maybe once they eliminate race radio things will get more exciting with bigger time splits..?!

McEwen? I'm wondering just how Kloden is here? Or allowed to race anywhere.

why was freire remonstrating so angrily with eisel? eisel didnt nowt wrong really, certainly wasnt that dangerous

Vandevelde almost 14 minutes off the pace today. Seems like we can take one name off the Tour favourites.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Hushovd, Bennati also dropped alongside Cavendish. Not really good, since 90 men could survive.

Yes, and Frischkorn is in the break. After Dugan's close 2nd in Dauphine, I hope that maybe, just maybe he will take the stage. He seems to be pulling quite a bit. However, they are only 2:38 up, and there are 42K left......

[Jasper]

Haha, awesome move from Hesjedal, surely he must have planned this?

I will give them this, they are committed. All 4 really hammering....2:08 and 24K to go. I think we have seen this scenario before.....dang.
