Re:

Unfortunately none of the teams seem very eager to attack.

Hoped that Trek with Contador would give it a go, considering his deficit in the GC, and they were at the front for a while giving me false hopes...

The Tour is missing Bob Jungels to destroy the field in the wind

Not windy enough?

Steven De Jongh already told yesterday they wouldn't try anything, only keep Contador on the front.

Re: Re:

Well, in Denmark we work with trios.
And apparently there must always be a Sørensen in the box...

Are they good or do you wish you could gouge your ears out like I used to do listening to Phil and Paul? :lol:

They're great.
Think the ability to make some really weird comments is a requirement to become a TdF commentator for Danish Tv2... for starters; we've got Chris Anker commentating.

I suppose weird comments are much more interesting than the flat out "wrong" comments that Phil and Paul make...

I guess...
These guys are mostly wrong when it comes to birds. Which, honestly isn't so bad considering it's a bike race.

Bit hard to make a suprise-attack when everyone's alert...

Yeah but that could just be a diversionary tactic.

About ten miles to the critical point.
By then, some teams could get tired and drop behind, get caught in the echelon...

Hilarious!

Wind also seems to be a lot less fierce than it was.

I think fan isn't the right word.

Katusha is now working, so they can blame Kristoff for being too fat when he doesn't win this stage.

 

[frisenfruitig]

Man I feel stupid for watching this ***

 

[sir fly]

The wind just isn't strong enough.

 

[Eclipse]

Glad I had meetings up until now

 

[red_flanders]

I predict the break will be caught.

Re:

It just jumped up to 26 seconds. The break will hold off the peloton today (I need something to justify watching nothing happen this morning).

Re:

I'm going even further and predict a bunch sprint.

 

[Kafviar]

Hurried home when I read echelons...

You're really going out on a limb with that one...

I'm sticking to my guns.

You guys are crazy.

Yes! It could happen.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Timed it almost perfectly today, could have waited 5-10 minutes more tho.

Arnaud Démare to school Nacer Bouhanni!
