One of the Aussies down (Spokes?) but up again quickly.

I like her more in English than in Dutch actually. Also funny that she got a British accent while being Dutch (not that she's the only one but still).

Were you expecting her to speak like this http://youtu.be/exCYSfQod14?

 

[l.Harm]

LOL that's not even close to dutch accent

LOL that's not even close to dutch accent

To anyone else it is

Any word on the irish guys in the field? Are they still in the peloton and how big is the peleton?

thanks in advance

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

The peloton is almost everyone who started and the Irish riders appear to be in the peloton.

http://static.sportresult.com/federations/uci/CR2014/ has updates.

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

South Africa now on the front with the Aussies and are pushing hard.

 

[Parrulo]

Just got online and this is my firt look at the course. Will it be selective at all?

No, Cavendish to win ahead of Greipel and van Hummel.

Meintjes has gone very early but he has got a bit of a lead.

 

[Netserk]

Wow that was early.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Can't wait for Meintjes to get a bit older and stronger if he intends to race like this.

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

This second climb on the lap looks to be quite tough.

 

[Netserk]

Was it also the third last lap he went last year?

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

It is time for the Aussies to abandon plan Ewan and revert to plan Power.

 

[Bushman]

Was it also the third last lap he went last year?

Mohoric and Alaphillippe attacked before, I believe.

 

[LosBrolin]

Küng chasing Meintjes

Zepuntke sprint legs gone by now? Lots of pulling before in a break.

 

[Netserk]

Mohoric and Alaphillippe attacked before, I believe.

Now it's been a year, so I probably misremember things, but I thought Mohoric bridged to Meintjes on the penultimate lap and dropped him on the final :/

 

[Pippo_San]

This course isn't prolly as hard as Florence but it looks like that if you ride it hard&fast it can definitely be selective.

 

[Hugo87]

Definitely I don't like this course design, hopefully riders will make it hard enough, otherwise will be a 35 riders final sprint borefest on the Elites.

 

[Flamin]

This is a pretty interesting situation.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Kudus!!!!111

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Kudus flew across the gap, impressive.

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Kung blown up big time.

Good racing
