[eljimberino]

Knees got Karpets burn?


Nope. Sorry.

 

[eljimberino]

Roll Karpets up and blow into one end: Horner.

 

[Ferminal]

Anyone actually watching?

 

[sometriguy]

Anyone actually watching?

nope, I don't believe in parades. Maybe Macy's is sponsoring today's race.

 

[eljimberino]

Phil just confirmed his alsimers.

 

[Cobblestones]

Phil just confirmed his alsimers.

What did he say? I missed it, was talking to my wife (yeah the stage is that boring).

 

[Spare Tyre]

Anyone actually watching?

I've got it on, but I'm not really paying attention. Playing around on the computer. Off to bed soon.

Call it "sleep inducing background entertainment".

I have it on the TV, on mute. Not paying attention at all just occasionally looking at the KM remaining (going SLOW).

 

[Roland Rat]

Karpets got pulled out.

Was it during a stage? If so,

Karpets pulled up.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Shagged Karpets out.
Only 30kms to crawl.

+1. Sitting on the computer instead doing EDGAR searches on the SEC website for company info.

Are there any sidewinds for Astana to worry about on this stage?

You have to feel sorry for the guys in the break, having to look at a Footon kit for hours on end.

 

[eljimberino]

What did he say? I missed it, was talking to my wife (yeah the stage is that boring).

confused a race of 1975 with a race of 1996, then said he couldnt remember

 

[Cobblestones]

Whoa action! Break's only two riders now. (Sorry still have to watch the Footon kit).

 

[Cobblestones]

Break's wiped out.

 

[Tyke1968]

An attack...didn't last shame.

 

[Jamsque]

They've caught the break pretty early, we might see some late attacks.

 

[Cerberus]

Saxo is taking the front, there appears to be sidewind.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Contador has Vino. Took him to the front like he was in a stretch limo.

 

[palmerq]

3 astana guys are off the back :S....... I saw contador making a big effort with vino to get up to the front...

 

[Francois the Postman]

There's action. Well, a higher pace. Make that pace.

 

[Cerberus]

Contador has Vino. Took him to the front like he was in a stretch limo.

Yep, the attempt to split the Peloton doesn't appear to have much effect. A few Astana riders got dropped, but they probably didn't want to use energy.

 

[Cobblestones]

3 astana guys are off the back :S....... I saw contador making a big effort with vino to get up to the front...

He has learned a lot?

 

[Jamsque]

He has learned a lot?

No, he just has team-mates that actually like him.

 

[Straßenrennen]

3 astana guys are off the back :S...

Best place for them, no need to go full gas on a sprint stage.. why not save the gas for the hilly stages.

 

[palmerq]

good work from contador and vino to get up there... now vino to go for the win somehow :S
