Actually it's not. Otherwise I wouldn't have been doing it myself. Oh, and for the record, no one likes a smart-***, smart-***.

Well it is when I wanna read about the race and not soccer. And calm down buddy, no need to take it so personally

Oh watch out - we got two badasses here..

Wonder how long Farrar will be able to stay in the break.

Lead by example then, instead of trying to be smart. Oh, and believe it or not, this is me being calm. ;)

Many in the break will be happy just to make it to the finish, don't think they give Farrar too much thought at the moment.

Nah it's always a bit of fun to rile people up.

Hope Garmins tactics are better than last year

Belgians and football :rolleyes: BMC are NOT the Barcelona of cycling. More like Real Madrid or Manchester City. Moreover, the Spanish league is still attainable for Barcelona, contrary to what de Cauwer just said. Sigh. Stick to cycling.

They also commentate on Football matches... Karl Vannieuwkerke at least.

Farrar in the break interesting. I wonder when and what the others will try to get rid of him.

I'm guessing 260k is going to take care of that. I wouldn't be too worried about him if I were in the break, I would be happy to havve a strong guy like him there to help out.

Likewise, hence the me being calm part. ;) Watch out. It wouldn't be so much fun - for you at least - when we're both banned in the end.

Indeed, maybe peloton politics though, who knows - OPQS doesn't have anyone in the break either.

Ride a reasonable tempo on a couple of hills.

Farrar was 5th at the Ronde in 2010 and 13th last year. No, he wasn't ever really a threat to win, and just led the second bunch home, but he's not a total scrub when it comes to getting over the hills.

Yes maybe OPQS didn't allow it, that's what I would have done if I were OPQS anyways

RadioShack will need Gallopin farther in the race, there no point in sacrificing him now especially if QS don't have a rider in the break as well

He is this year though, he's been really poor up till now. Probably the reason why he's in a long break in the first place.

At the start of year Farrar claimed he would like to target Paris-Roubaix, and even said he almost hadn't done sprint tranings in winter because of concentrating on the classics. It doesn't look like his plan works but Garmin should have sent someone in the break simply because with Millar and Navardauskas being injured they have no men to be involved in the chase.
