Olympic Road Race Men

[Kwibus]

It might actually be interesting

Wiggins looked pretty dead as well.

But really... doesn't it make sense? They can't ride at the front for 250km and keep everyone behind them. Just not possible.

 

[gustienordic]

GB/Sky not strong enough to bring back all those great riders?

 

[Mellow Velo]

I wonder who is benefiting most from this Swiss/Spanish/Italian alliance?
This group shouldn't come back, unless they start to muck about.
Germany's gamble now appears to have been a big Fail.

Belgium also appear to be stuffed.

 

[AtletiSK]

now this race could be over for Team UK!!!
I just wonder why Sagan decided not to go with all those strong guys who are now in the lead

 

[Bala Verde]

Who's the fastest man in the break in case they sprint?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Who's the fastest man in the break in case they sprint?

Cancellara, Valverde, Boom

 

[Christian]

Lol Daniel Schorn now ordered to the front ^^

 

[Bavarianrider]

+1
I just wished germany would have attacked too. Instead for settling for a sprint with cav.

Indeed

 

[Cancellator]

Who's the fastest man in the break in case they sprint?

Better yet: who is a better sprinter than Cancellara?

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

The Germans are also banking on a sprint, so even if Eisel and others don't help out team GB, the Germans would probably add some people to the chase?

Same with the Aussies I would have thought? Unless they think O'Grady will win a sprint finish?

 

[issoisso]

****ing Eisel.

That was Bak on the front. Quite a bit taller and with a Lotto helmet.

 

[Kwibus]

Going to bet it won't be a sprint.

 

[Apollonius]

Who's the fastest man in the break in case they sprint?

Fabby Canc, easily.

 

[BillytheKid]

Phinney lurking, Tejay slamming.

The dutch, they will make up for their lousy season so far...


Boom FTW

 

[Finn84]

23,4 km 55 seconds.

 

[dlwssonic]

Cancellara, Valverde, Boom

Kristoff, Gilbert, Phinney, Chavanel all have decent kicks.
It could be an open sprint.

 

[Cancellator]

This serves Germany right for riding for silver.

 

[DirtyWorks]

The roads into London are not fast. They're very rough and were not repaved. It's actually very hard to chase in last 30km.

If that's true, Cancellara might possibly upset the storybook ending. Still so much power left in the Sky train.

 

[thehog]

Froome fail.

 

[Arnout]

Who's the fastest man in the break in case they sprint?

Anyone can fill names?

- Phinney
- Van Garderen
- Gilbert
- LL Sanchez
- Valverde
- Castroviejo
- Schär
- Cancellara
- Nordhaug
- O'Grady(?)
- Chavanel
- Fuglsang

Please copy and fill.

Gap coming down slightly, 55 seconds.

Boom FTW

Well I'd definately go mental when that happens, but I don't have high expectations

 

[oevkride]

GO TGAK! should be a piece of cake taking this!

 

[dlwssonic]

Is that eisel working

 

[Arnout]

So Millar, supposedly leadout for Cav, riding on front now?
