Great front group. 40km from the line. Game on.

Who are the two Tinkofs?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

There are two Movistars in the front group.

I think

You're right! That explains it

So in the front group:

Kwiatkowski, Valverde, Sagan, Cancellara, Evans among others. Bennati, Kreuziger? Golas, Trentin. Stannard of course.

 

[Publicus]

That sector really destroyed the race. The decision to move this sector later into the race was a good one.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Next dirt sectors.

8 175,4 - 177,3 0,8 km
9 180,7 - 184,5 2,4 km
10 186,9 - 188,0 1,1 km

 

[jens_attacks]

gotta luv the way cadel rides! champ_O_

 

[Publicus]

Stannard looks huge compared to the other riders.

 

[Arredondo]

Wow, good Poels!

So Amador and Valverde are in for Movistar.

 

[Arredondo]

So, 2 Sky's, 3 Saxo's, 2 Movistar's, 4 OPQS

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Moser not there?

 

[Arredondo]

Moser not there?

No Moser at front

 

[happytramp]

Wow Omega bossing it.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

That was a great sector.

Once again OPQS with a big contingent in the front group.

 

[Arredondo]

2 Colombia's in the chase group, one of them is Rubiano

 

[Kwibus]

So, 2 Sky's, 3 Saxo's, 2 Movistar's, 4 OPQS

5 qpqs and 4 giant-shimano apparently. Dumoulin, Barguil, Geschke and Preidler.

 

[Arredondo]

5 qpqs and 4 giant-shimano apparently. Dumoulin, Barguil, Geschke and Preidler.

Yeah, good one. OPQS very dominant, again.

I can't imagine Geschke being up front, he stood at the side of the road for quite a while helping Ludvigsson

 

[ILovecycling]

Canc and Sagan next to each other,like it,means best part of the year

 

[Wallenquist]

2 Colombia's in the chase group, one of them is Rubiano

Torres is the other one, former mountain biker.

 

[Arredondo]

Torres is the other one, former mountain biker.

Thanks, he was also good at Camaiore, but crashed in the finale.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

2 Colombia's in the chase group, one of them is Rubiano

one of them is rodolfo torres. don't know about the other one or how many wre ein that group

 

[jens_attacks]

delfino is here wow. never thought about it

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Nice ride for Juul Jensen

 

[Arredondo]

So OPQS is going for Kwiat, rather logical.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Stannard looks like a big farmer from the 19th century! Or someone who just ate a big farmer from the 19th century.
