[Moondance]

interesting now, bunch of riders that would like to attack with a couple of climbs to go, couple that would like put on a bit of pressure on the flat (cancellara etc) and a few that wouldnt mind it coming down to a 1k go for it...

no brits in the group of course.. weve ballsed this up big time..

indeed. always my favorite race of the year.

Cunego looks great. Nice to see kroon up there (and hes gone as i said that haha)

 

[Ibanez]

Italy are crazy strong

 

[Parrot23]

If Spartacus beats Cunego I'll eat my bike helmet.

wave goodbye to tom...

absolute pathic performance by the brits, nine riders and we colluded to do nothing... the only british shirts weve seen where millar bing paced back and stannard falling off his bike...

VINO IN THE LEAD GROUP...... you just know he is going to attack somewhere.... he cant help himself

"Oh la, la, ca va exploser de partout!"

No offense, but did you really expect anyone from Britain to be up there?

 

[issoisso]

Fee Fi Fo Fum. I spot Freire's uhh.....bum?

He's still there. Wow.

 

[krebs303]

Great race!

 

[Ibanez]

Yeah GB never had a chance on a course like this. Give it a few years.

Decent selection to fight out the last lap this, Italians looking ominously numerous though.

 

[Moondance]

Bah... No EBH, it was Arvesen. I guess I owe Dekker_Trifosi ten euros.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I want friere to win! That would be epic
Vino win would be amazing too

 

[Parrot23]

Cancell. climbing with Basso. Right.

Great that Evans and Gerrans are there too. I believe that, but not Spartacus.

It's an illusion. Pozzato's ego is so big it looks like 3 riders.

 

[Henrik]

Was that Arvesen stretching his legs?

 

[Merckx]

I'm gonna LOL when Vino wins this.

 

[issoisso]

I'm gonna LOL when Vino wins this.

You post that and seconds later he attacks. heh. You're clairvoyant

i dont see why not.. certainly millar, geraint, and danny lloyd should have been at least in the mixup with 30k to go if not strong enough to see it through.. for a team with nine riders we should at least be visible

 

[Anonymous]

Vinos gonna go.. Vinos gonna go......

it will be doomed of course.. like all of his attacks.. but hes gonna go...

 

[issoisso]

Vino attacks again. Kirchen looks like he's going to have a heart attack

 

[Anonymous]

and hes off..

whatever you think of him, youve got to love his riding style... he really is uniquely stupid..
