G3 might as well give up

 

[Moondance]

boom smart. looks strong also.

If Boom can continue to play Chief Hall Monitor for the next 30 km I think Langeveld might just have this sewn up.

 

[Publicus]

Langeveld

G2 1m

Offredo/Paolini/Quinziato/Boom/Terpstra/Langeveld/Maaskant/Degenkolb and 1-3 others.

G3 Gilbert/Boonen/Hushovd @ 1.50

Thanks Super Mod!

 

[Kwibus]

So Langeveld 1 minute ahead and the 2nd group with Boom, Maaskand and Terpstra. 3rd group not working together...

Please when I get home let there be a dutch winner

p.s. very impressive by Degenkolb!

And yes I think the lack of communication helps the currect chaos. Maybe just for 20%, but that's enough for me.

 

[The Sheep]

I'll be honest... This situation is really exciting. Its changing my mind a little bit about the earpieces.

me too

heh

 

[maltiv]

This was kinda random, everything splitting up without even an attack, everyone looking at eachother... If lack of radios only result in confusion then I definitely dont support the ban

 

[ak-zaaf]

everything!!! isn't it lovely? racing as it should be

Oh yeah, I'm totally positive. Chaos is a good thing.

yep, doing an excellent job. Didn't even need a earpiece to do this

 

[The Hitch]

Chase disorganised, Langvelds lead going up.

This is like watching Canc paris roubaix all over again.

I expect Flecha to attack soon if group 2 stays this unorganised.

to be fair cobbles are quite often like this.

I mean yes, there is more chaos then ussual, but splintered groups forming is nothing new without attack.

 

[search]

G2 is really not organising much of a chase, Flecha is getting fed up with all the passengers.

Sky is there with 2 men, they should put Hayman in front of the group...but it may be too late now anyway

 

[Publicus]

G3 might as well give up

Judging by the gap, they already have.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

I just hope Degenkolb doesnt come too high. And id rather they caught Langweld.

Bitter .

 

[auscyclefan94]

Has anyone got a good feed? I am going to try again on watching a feed!

 

[Moondance]

Langeveld still pedaling a small gear. This is happening paesani.

 

[boomcie]

Goddammit. Start finding me a new avatar ACF.

They have to learn (or re-learn) how to make decisions on the road. It's going to take some time.

 

[Jamsque]

I'm going for a smoke, don't let anything interesting happen until I get back.

It's a race, they have to take their own decisions. The fact that they can't seem to do that right now shows they are/were drones. How can you possible oppose this?

teamskyfans one is working better than any..

[Highlander]

Although my feed keeps breaking up, so it looks like the riders have stopped at times, I think that the Boonen group has thrown in the towel. They don't seem to be making any serious effort to try to close the gap.

is working just lovely.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

looks like langeveld might take this one. looks really strong.
Could this be the long awaited season for him ??

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Who thinks this chaos has everything to do with the lack of team communication?

no this happens all the time. big teams have a rider in front and that's it.
