Paris Nice - Stage 7 - Brignoles → Biot - Sophia Antipolis - 216km

Let's hope Kiserlovsky is alright.

And it happened today of all days.

 

[Mellow Velo]

French tv report that Kizer was already on his way to hospital.....

The weather forecast is much worse for tomorrow.

 

[ansimi]

Had another look.
Kiserlovski's face was a mask of blood. He was making a terrible sound.

I thought that horrendous sound of pain was coming from him too

A French-Astana win is a great combo. Tony Martin looked worthy. I have no idea why Movistar would ever have thought this stage finish suited Tondo? What a waste of effort.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Very well deserved victory for Di Gregorio- that was a hell of a ride.
...and T Martin taking no sh!t from Tondo & Movistar

Once they'd got it onto the finishing circuits, the Lulu group was distanced and everything, I was baffled by Movistar. There was no way in hell that that finish was ever going to be steep enough for Tondó to gain anything, and he was never going to outsprint Sánchez to the line even before he decided to lead everybody out for the final kilometre. I just assumed José Joaquín Rojas had made it over the top with them.

[jens_attacks]

insane finish,how the hell he stayed on the bike?miracle i guess.
happy for remy nice chap,waiting news from kiserlovski...

 

[70kmph]

That was great, what a wild race

 

[joy118118]

The weather forecast is much worse for tomorrow.

Look like this year Paris-Nice will not that bad.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Nice job by Urán, he may not be GC relevant but he did stop anybody who is from taking 4 seconds out of Wiggins.

 

[woodburn]

Any word on Van Garderen?

Monfort gained 3 places on the GC...Porte has dropped back 10 places. Kreuziger and Spilak also move up 6 places each.

Lulu has dropped from 11th to 27th!!!

 

[zigzag wanderer]

Any word on Van Garderen?

Finished at 11:59 down.

 

[Arnout]

I still can't believe Remy stayed upright after skating across the paint!
I remember seeing Contador almost kiss the side of rock wall once, but that was a ridiculous save! He earned his win with that one.
Wow.

Reminds me of that save by that French track cyclist, and this was on slippery roads. Very impressive, and also nice as it would've been a shame if he lost this due to a fall.

And how's Tondo?

 

[The Sheep]

Kiserlovski finished the race 20 minutes behind

They changed it to 00:37, should put him back in the top 10

 

[eljimberino]

do we know what happened? has it been posted? (i had to run out)

 

[Granville57]

Or this save from Conti: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVzNFnOx-RA

Yes! That's the one I had remembered. I forgot that he almost fused himself to the lamp post though. I don't know how he reacted so effectively to that. Yikes!

 

[rxgqgxnyfz]

Guys from the team say he's fine, nothing's broken.

That's a relieve. We don't want another 2003.

Good news. That was frightening to watch.

Any update on Haussler?
