Okay, now i am all fired up !

 

[RedheadDane]

Vino! Oh how I love it!

 

[Fetisoff]

Well, I thought VINO would wait till stage 3 to destroy the field by 5 minutes, but he obviously wanted to give the Colombians a chance there, so he wants to tire his legs out a bit today, just so that he's not so dominant tomorrow

And we're live btw

looking at the startlist for gc there's not much. only caja rural and colombia have good riders for this and maybe palomares and gabrovski

edit: and dyachenko and vino of course

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Any info on the climb (read: hill) today?

 

[TeoSheva]

let start the bets: when Vino will go for a solo?

Too late

1.22 with 18 to go. This might actually stick or they will be caught at the finishing straight

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

colombians good in front. jeffry romero, marentes, suarez and forero

As much as the crash took out loads of riders, it was with about 1.5-2km left and was about 20 riders back. The guys it took out, were likely out of contention by that stage anyway. Green Edge were powering at the front, and Graeme Brown lead Renshaw and Bos around well.

Renshaw died slightly early (perhaps that 'sprint' work he has been doing instead of the leadout work he has done previous years?), but the train worked fairly well.

Those three doing that together could cause headaches for more fancies teams. Brown and Renshaw would be extremely hard to get off the front inside 1km to go - they hold their positions as well as anyone in the peleton I'd say, and they're both fast with track pursuiting background. Bos is also fast enough to finish it off if Renshaw drops him off 200m out.

If Renshaw helps turn Bos into an absolutely world class sprinter, perhaps the investment in him was worthwhile after all.

OK, this gap clock is as much of a joke as the one at L-B-L was

Should be interesting to see if Haedo has something to offer today.

it will all depend on if his team gets the train right. he is limited alone

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

This really is a race down an endless, straight, motorway.

It's odd watching a sprint stage without all the familiar sprint teams. Those jerseys massing at the front just look wrong.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Jesus, that rider gave it a go didn't he, haha.

Thanks, the stream looks awesome, however that goddamn popup that says "wait a few seconds" doesn't wanna disappear after 2 minutes
