Olympic Road Race Men

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

This was my route for 10 years. I know it well.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Big mistake by Germany not to include Voigt.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

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

Kristoff is long gone. GIlbert in a flat sprint, not in his 2012 form. Phinney maybe. Chavanel not so much

 

[The Hitch]

David millar just got a big cheer when mentioned. Hmm

 

[Fourier]

Sky with endless supplies of mercenaries

 

[gustienordic]

Valverde has to be the one with the best kick from that group.

 

[Knutsen]

So, it will be Kristoff then?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

That's about the fifth time Porter has described Kolobnev as a sprinter...

 

[will10]

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

They've all been riding on the front at some point. Think the plan is to try to get it back and let Cav do his own thing on Greipel's wheel.

 

[Bala Verde]

So we may conclude that Froome is perhaps not made for the long >200Km classics?

Holy cow. Rogers taking to Cavendish.... his loyalty is also where his paycheck is?

I mean, if they are riding for Goss, they don't have to discuss tactics...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Can we just ban Austria from further World Ch and Olympic Ch?

 

[maxmartin]

Froome ran out of juice... Maybe I'm obnoxious with this, but this could mean that not having race radios actually hampered GB a bit. I mean, they let Cancellara go for example, with so many team mates...

of course radio always make race dull and controlled, strong and big team loves radio

 

[Christian]

Is that eisel working

No it's Daniel Schorn ... Eisel must have ordered him to the front

 

[EddyW.]

The peloton is pulling some seconds back. Thanks to the Sky network.

 

[Arnout]

So 94 years after the fall of Austria-Hungary, we now get Austria-Britain.

 

[online-rider]

Who is the norwegian guy in the break, Hushovd?

 

[Marcuccio]

I think I saw Tim Duggan take a hit of his Ventolin inhalher and Phil said he was eating an energy bar?

 

[dlwssonic]

valverde is working, he knows LLS has a better chance

 

[issoisso]

Who is the norwegian guy in the break, Hushovd?

Nordhaug 10chars

 

[The Sheep]

Schörn to Sky?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Lemon meringues/Australia visible!

 

[BillytheKid]

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.

Yikes, yikes!

 

[dannywpt]

I would like to inform you all that Kristoff is the fastest man in the front group. Sad thing it wont be a sprint within that group, for the sake of the unknowns.

 

[Arnout]

Yeah if Australians think they have more chance of a medal when pulling, I can't really blame them.

It would serve Sky/Britain right though, to fail this badly after being more cocky than I've seen ever before.

 

[oevkride]

Who is the norwegian guy in the break, Hushovd?

Its two, Nordhaug and Kristoff
