It's not easy, you know... and I think he's quite close on GC?

and you should as you can see so far this year, everything I ever predicted is starting to come through

Wasn't it Duarte who was certainly going to get the most impressive win so far this season... and then got caught in no time?

 

[Ney the Viking]

I know it isn't easy, I just cannot remember him actually doing it even once after stating he want to in the media. And he is in 20th spot on the GC, but he shouldnt be considered a threat really, i mean he WILL lose time to a lot of the top10 guys i the ITT. I just found it mildly ironic is all
Also I dont even know where they are on the course, he could be waiting for some more appropiate terrain.

No, it took a while to catch him and for many kilometers it looked like he might do it.

He's no superman, but again, he's not Ardila.

 

[Ferminal]

Gap is over 12minutes, 69km down.

SLow day.

 

[wirral]

The updates are appreciated. Where do you get them from?

Ah so not even at the first climb. Then I am more understanding. I wouldnt expect CAS to attack before the 109km mark

 

[Rubertow]

is it still stupidly hot?

if it is, its definately a Vino day (again).

Coverage starts in 45mins, so that will probably be from the base of the 2nd climb, 4.6km @ 8.48%

Why is Manolo all over the place. Gah.

From Manolo Saiz
He's quite dramatic.

 

[Havetts]

Any update?

 

[Angliru]

Geox talking on the road about their World Tour exclusion.

On the live feed?

Any update?

Breakaway: Albasini (HTC), Belkov (Vacansoleil) y Sánchez Pimienta (Caja Rural)
by 10:40 @ 90km

 

[Ney the Viking]

On the live feed?

I have a feeling that it was a joke that their riders was too busy talking about the exclusion to help poor Duarte (if not then ignore my sillyness)

 

[Parrulo]

o hai there every1

so how is the race?

 

[hrotha]

It was a reference to how leaving Geox out of the World Tour was supposed to be a huge mistake and how they were going to set the record straight on the road. So far, we've had Duarte and Pelucchi doing well, Menchov showing up at Murcia, and little else.

Ah so i wasn't wrong about the joke at least

The translation came out like a random word generator - was he just talking about the race?

ETB is live http://www.eitb.com/sports/on-line/en/

Karpets is rolling the peloton up the climb. The hardest part is done for the break, thought they might have lost a bit more time than they did.

 

[Jamsque]

EITB just started their stream:

http://www.eitb.com/sports/on-line/en/

Just started the climb of the Alto de Karabieta. 63km to go, the gap is 8:33


[edit] Damn, Ferminal beat me today, and with a Karpets joke too! I'll be back on top tomorrow, don't you worry.

 

[cineteq]

Yes he was. Mainly about hydrating & eating in a hot day like today.

 

[Jamsque]

52km to go and the gap is down to just over 7 minutes.
