Thor was pretty crap up to this point last year too. Yet he was super in Roubaix. I wouldn't read too much into his poor spring thus far.

Actually Thor was very strong in Tirreno-Adriatico last year. This year he barely got through Paris-Nice with a stomach bug, and has been sick since then as well.

Is Garmin going to take any responsibility to chase?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Sky now on the front, with OPQS and BMC both with men in the break.

 

[spalco]

Left for 10 minutes and have no idea what's going on. How far ahead is the Chavanel group? Is there still part of the break ahead of him?

 

[gerundium]

Any idea where degenkolb is?

he flatted a long while ago, haven't heard anything after that.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

I doubt it. They don't seem to have many still up there.

Not strong enough it seems. JVS gotta ride for himself.

Chava 25 seconds in front of ~40 man peloton - it's obviously coming back together before the end.

Thor showcasing his bike handling skills again - race over for you.

He's working for Boonen too. Tom can just bide his time with Chavanel up front and try to bridge if nobody can pull the Chav group back and attrition takes it's toll.

 

[Trofinios]

F**k, Hushovd down.

 

[insideout leadout]

What a shame Thor

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

hushovd fail :d

+ 1

 

[Ripper]

+ 1

I wonder when he will start complaining about the support at BMC

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Chav down, Boonen sucker punches him.

Was that Seb with a flat tire?!

 

[Marcus135]

Chavanel with a flat now

 

[spalco]

Suck the wheel, Pozzato, suck for your life!

 

[luckyboy]

Boonen, Pozzato - that's what the result will be at the end
