[Mellow Velo]

UK Postal>>>NL Postal.

 

[webvan]

Hopefully RS will step up to help...

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Can't see that happening. He seemed to be suffering on every part that was steep.

If so, he'll get destroyed tomorrow. F.Schleck to win the TdS again?

Is kreuziger still in the group?

 

[Unkown]

Albassini drops Velits on a little descent.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Is kreuziger still in the group?

Kreuziger is never strong enough. Or maybe on the top flat an attack, that's a typical kreuziger move.

 

[Parrulo]

lol gesink just spins such a ridiculously low gear, or is it high gear? never know which is the right one <_<

Which saves him energy. While costa is stomping that big gear and riding himself deep into the red

 

[taiwan]

wow good ticker.

 

[Bala Verde]

Kruiswijk, Gesink and Ten Dam chatting. Kruiswijk to sit on Rui Costa's wheel to check him out.

There's only 3K of steepness ahead at around 6-7K before the finish, with the last 3K flattening out. RS and RAb really need to rip it up there to dislodge Rui Costa, because now he's recovering.

Coming of giro helps tho.

Kruijswijk moving up

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So Albasini wins the stage.

Who'll be 2nd?
Velits? Someone frm peloton?

 

[webvan]

Gerdemann...usual crappy performance, 500 meter pull...

 

[Parrulo]

Which saves him energy. While costa is stomping that big gear and riding himself deep into the red

i didn't say it as a form of criticism. . . just think it looks funny because of his legs size

and ya Costa does use a rather large gear, too large imo

 

[Bala Verde]

lol gesink just spins such a ridiculously low gear, or is it high gear? never know which is the right one <_<

High. spinning; low stomping.

or actually I am confused now too. In dutch it's 'large' and 'small.'

perhaps we'll need input from a real anglo.

 

[DominicDecoco]

CAS back in the 'peloton'?

 

[jens_attacks]

kiserlovski ready for a totall annihilation type of attack

 

[Unkown]

Costa still looks in serious pain right now, probably will drop right away on the steep 3 kilos.

 

[taiwan]

High. spinning; low stomping.

High gear means low cadence/grinding. Low = spinning.

 

[DominicDecoco]

CAS barely hanging on again. Sort it out...

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

zwei sekunden!

 

[jens_attacks]

gesink taking bonus seconds?

 

[Havetts]

gesink taking bonus seconds?

yep 1 boni second

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

LOL. 1 entire secnd. Good effort

 

[Parrulo]

Costa still looks in serious pain right now, probably will drop right away on the steep 3 kilos.

indeed, i am surprised to see him struggle so son after seeing him do so well on verbier.
