Cunego looked good yesterday, he has a shot at the stage.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink should do better here.


how many km left ?

Don't expect too much. Seems even basque tour isn't a goal anymore. He wants to win one of the hilly classics. Ofcourse he'll never let go in this tour and try to finish as high as possible, but not in the same form he was in last year (before falling in another crucial stage )

What do you know about his form? Should be comparable to last year.

Seems like a good bet!

 

[Jamsque]

Lampre and Garmin seem to be doing most of the chasing so far.

 

[Ferminal]

I don't Speak Basque or Spainish - so i am stuck with Harmon and Backstedt

Nah, I understand nothing but it's better. Plus the feed is more reliable.

Ace, "one man and his chopper".

Competitive sheep herding with a helicopter. Now there's a show waiting for a channel.

 

[Ferminal]

The bump with 30km to go seems nice, but probably too far out to bother anyone.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nope, last year he would've finished in the first group.

 

[Ryaguas]

Ok Ryder feeling good all Garmin going to the front

I'd watch that.. got to be better than banger racing on Eurosport.

 

[superconfex]

Garmin giving it big licks

Big confidence in Hesjedal appearently

 

[Jamsque]

I count six at the front for Garmin, they are going to try to split the race on this bump it looks like.

 

[Moondance]

Garmin doing much needed (since Flanders) PR work riding on the front for Hesj.

I'm actually finding the Basque feed choppy and the Eurosport one better.

But the Basque feed is about 40 secs ahead.

Ha, the Basque one is working fine for me but Eurosport is all over the place!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Garate and Txurruka attack

 

[Moncoutie]

Go Amets!!!

 

[superconfex]

Txurruka..love this little guy

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ah it's Barredo, not Garate... ofcourse

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Garmin Cervelo have whittled down the group size significantly
