Haha Fabian is a joker. Took a look at his bike thinking "Hmm I think its something near the back- wait, I don't care. Give me a new one"

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Vaitkus and Tjallingii attack

 

[Bala Verde]

yeah, let's waste some energy in PR...

 

[Tom T.]

Cycling.tv is actually showing the race if you're a subscriber. I had no idea and had given up on them. Guess they don't believe in notifying subscribers via email.

Question - this is the first time I have watched P-R (forgive me), and was hoping for some epic, mud-clad faces. Is there a section that's particularly muddy or have they just lucked in on some beautiful weather?

Good weather today.

 

[The Sheep]

Not even dusty

 

[Lyds97]

Tjallingi and Vaitkus join the break.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

It's indeed way too nice weather to get muddy faces

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Flens in the attack, and the French have no idea what is happening, and thinking it is Tjallingii, but it's really Flens attacking

 

[pedaldancer]

Alas, the in-saddle-suffering over the cobbles will have to suffice for 2010

 

[Spare Tyre]

It looks like there is some dust, just not great big clouds of it.

David Millar drops

 

[39*23t]

Where's Matti Breschel

 

[The Sheep]

euskatel

 

[Mellow Velo]

Millar passed by an Euskatel rider!

Group falling apart now

David Millar drops

Passed by a Basque. He must think he's hallucinating

 

[Lyds97]

Millar 'arriere de la course' and then gets overtaken again.

 

[ingsve]

Boonen looking a little sneaky like he could attack anytime he likes.

 

[Bala Verde]

Looked like Tjalingii punctured when Team Sky and Boonen passed him.

Just saw O'Grady... did he get eaten by a fat man?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

O'Grady gone

But still a very big group!

 

[Bala Verde]

Devolder moves to the front...
