[TMP402]

Haha now Nizzolo, Viviani, Eisel

Haussler probably

 

[TMP402]

Eisel nearly assassinated by an eager motorbike

Hansen and Gretsch off the front.

 

[May0maniac]

Atapuma joins them.

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Hansen now soloing.

 

[T-Nielsen]

Gretsch lost his cool there. Clearly Atapuma did not have it to help.

 

[barmaher]

I am really bad at identifying riders, but even I could tell that Atapuma was not Philip Gilbert.

Once Hansen is caught Bak will counter attack on that small ramp near the end.

if hansen gets caught..

 

[TMP402]

How many times a day does SK say "a real good performance"? 30?

 

[barmaher]

Fair play to Hansen. He rides all these consecutive Giro stages, but he is no back number. He gets in breaks, he gets involved in leading out Greipel, he animates races.

Looks like he will.

 

[Lexman]

It'sa pity Gretsch wouldn't follow Hansen he could have helped him a lot...

 

[King Boonen]

Hansen helping out the sprinters teams...
