He should go well. At least I think that's the expectation. If he doesn't it could really shake his confidence this close to the Tour.

I wonder if he is testing ferraris special elixir?

 

[Barrus]

Go Motabito! Where are the dutch? Have they gone quiet?

I'm here but not really following the race. Probably mainly due to the fact that I can only hear the commentators and not see the race, which is quite difficult if there are no flemish or english streams

 

[auscyclefan94]

gesink's first turn was very smooth and tight...looks good.

1 turn! Nothing to worry about now!

 

[Parrot23]

Go Motabito!

+1.

I notice that Sparky the Ducati was slightly off from his olympian heights. Maybe the Bell Volt helmet was a bit flat today.

Interesting to see how the Ferrari will do against the Ducati with the Volt helmet today.

Think it will be the best sign yet if the Ferrari will be competitive at the Tour.

Go Bobby!!!

 

[The Sheep]

what stream are you using mine seems to be a few minutes behind?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Lance is way off!

 

[Publicus]

23rd at the time check? Yeah, I would be shaking in my kit if I was Contador.

Perhaps he is saving himself for the downhill.

 

[ttrider]

lol lance 51 seconds down bye bye to his tour chances
he said he was really going for it today!

Armstrong looks messy...

 

[auscyclefan94]

Gesinks face is strained with pain!

 

[Barrus]

Jezus that Japanese stream is filled with almost solely dutch people. Reasonable time by Kreuziger, nothing special for him

 

[auscyclefan94]

Kreuziger dissapointing also.

 

[ttrider]

like i said martin has won it

 

[python]

Armstrong looks messy...

no he is just slow and old,

 

[Parrot23]

Gesinks face is strained with pain!

But he's still on his bike!

 

[Barrus]

Tony Martin 16 seconds faster than the Canc

 

[auscyclefan94]

gesink is seriously skinny!

 

[Barrus]

When is the next time point for Gesink and LA?

 

[Captain_Obvious]

gesink is seriously skinny!

He's tall.

 

[python]

go robert ! go man !

 

[Publicus]

When is the next time point for Gesink and LA?

Gesink hasn't passed the intermediate time check and Armstrong has to finish.

Bidon is the man for Radio Shack at the Tour. Decent ride for 4th.
