Is the live timing available?

 

[GuyIncognito]

At first I thought a woman had infiltrated the field, but now it seems one of the Yates is sporting a massive ponytail!!!????

 

[Red Rick]

Summary so far?

Poland riding after break, then Italy pulling really hard, field decimated, Aru attack, Martin attacks lead group, Martin wins WC, but nobody knows it yet

 

[Descender]

Phil doesn't understand how GPS works.

 

[SafeBet]

Summary so far?

4 men break early on, 15 minutes gap.
Poland leading the bunch for 100+km.
Rain.
Italy then pulls hard. Aru and Visconti launch an attack, followed by Wellens, Kennaugh, EBH, Navarro, Tony Martin and others.
Australia misses out on the break and is forced to pull.
Panzerwagen tries to go solo.

Dawg, DNF

Martin as WC would be just awesome. I can see Cancellara helping out Australia if this starts to get serious

"Froome abandons".

 

[Bexon30]

Summary so far?

Martin suicide. Rain and lots dropping.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Group of 4 went, Poland brought back, Italy bombed, Germany send the tanks in

So Poles quit, germans and italians attacked?
Gotcha. Soviet winner today, then.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Australia in full force, trying to kill the race for Gerrans and Matthews

 

[Descender]

Fisconti

Edfald boasson hakhe

Mikhael albasini

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

She does that to most, so when she's alongside a know-nothing, this happens.

If they could keep her and get in an ex-pro it would be a nice combination.

 

[trevim]

Oliveira is really turning out to be a really solid domestique. He's still there close to Rui Costa. Hopefully Rui can do a decent defense of the title with a top10 or something like that.

"Course isn't hard enough for Froome".

"Froome abandons".

Dawg can hardly keep up on the flat when its not a grand tour anymore.

Fisconti

Edfald boasson hakhe

Mikhael albasini

Wait till he talks about french great "Bernardino"

 

[trevim]

I don't Martin has the legs to pull this off; he looks a bit tired and overraced to me since the Vuelta.

 

[Descender]

Wait till he talks about french great "Bernardino"

I'm talking about the masterclass in Dutch pronunciation of foreign names by the woman commentator.

 

[l.Harm]

Belgians super strong

 

[thrawn]

Australia doing all the work. Hayman & Hansen excellent domestiques for that scenario.

 

[Adam.S]

Here come Belgium

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Portugal rides?

 

[Sasquatch]

Belgiums are a kill joy. Put faith in Wellens.

 

[trevim]

Portugal helping the chase. I think they are panicking a bit, let Australia die a slow death and keep the power for later on...
