Olympic Road Race Men

[dlwssonic]

Tejay pushing the pace now instead. Setting it up for phinney???

 

[Bala Verde]

So wait, Gesink, Boom, Westra and Langeveld are in the front?

 

[Fourier]

WTF is that motorcycle doing?

 

[Arnout]

What did Nordhaug do?

Nordhaug was actually pulling in the front group at some point.

 

[The Hitch]

There have got to be 10 000 people in front of the big screen here so would be a nice reaction if cav one. You never get this kind of crowd in front of a screen for cycling.

 

[dlwssonic]

Pathetic performance by the German team

They are letting the UK team do most of the work. smart thing to do.

 

[JibberJim]

So not everyone working in the front group - but Spanish and Albasini working hard - there's a lot from the earlier breaks though so they're not all fully rested.

 

[insideout leadout]

It wouldn't surprise me if Costa wins today. He seems to be full of surprises.

 

[Arnout]

So Cancellara IS in the front group. Very interesting.

 

[taiwan]

Clearly Eisel is setting up the sprint for Daniel Schorn. Chill out

London prologue 2007

 

[Bala Verde]

I have a strange feeling that the leading group could make this...

With 1 minute, and some strong men ahead, it's not entirely impossible....

28k and 55s now

The race is really heating up now. Interesting new developments!

 

[Arnout]

Lead still one min.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

58 seconds.

It could go either way. But let's just expect the worst

 

[Christian]

Nordhaug was actually pulling in the front group at some point.

Yeah I think I misinterpreted that, sorry

 

[will10]

Fabian with three teammates. Dangerous. Germany finally committing.

 

[Bala Verde]

Well, he hasn't actually done anything, other than site alongside Cav.

Eisel taking a lot of pointless stick at the moment.

If they don't close the gap, it's all irrelevant.

agreed. good point.

 

[Arnout]

With 1 minute, and some strong men ahead, it's not entirely impossible....

28k and 55s now

The race is really heating up now. Interesting new developments!

And a fresh Cancellara in front group. He's the same as the Sky guys, but fresh and with a min advantage.

 

[Fourier]

Wiggo toast?

 

[goggalor]

Brits lose one man?

 

[dlwssonic]

Freakin Germans

bye bye froome dawg

 

[insideout leadout]

Almost a minute and Cancellara still haven't unleashed all his energy.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Froome done..

Is Britain collapsing??

 

[Libertine Seguros]

This could be a much tenser climax than expected.

FROOMEWAGON ALERT!

 

[JibberJim]

Froome leaves Wiggins...
