It isn't Thor.

It is Ignatas Konovolvovolononolovonolvas

 

[Ramira]

Andy having to fetch his own (food and bottle) again..

Well he was doing that when he had helpers left too, it doesn't seem he cares right now with his legs being as good as they are.

im lost. Are we on the 2nd cat 1 or are we on the descent and going into the tourmalet?

 

[Ramira]

Descent to Tourmalet.

descending to Tormalet

No way he can go alone, when a Kreuziger, Sastre, Hesjedal, etc train is covering him. And what pressure, he is way down in the moutain classification?

He is 75 down with 2 Hors climb today and Thursday to go. Charteau will probably be blasted out on the Tourmalet if either group decide to race up the climb. IS Casar stays out front, he can get within striking range.

[cyclestationgiuseppe]

Flat for G(H)esink

[thrawn]

gesink wheel change drops him from the group, dunno if he'll get back on

 

[toontoon]

Can Rabo spare any domestiques to drag Gesink back?

 

[Moondance]

Ouch... End of Gesink???

 

[Big GMaC]

gesink......

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

for **** sake the guy never has any luck

 

[cyclestationgiuseppe]

Casar on the climb...

 

[Anonymous]

Okay, so if you are ever wanting some betting advice, don't ask me. I predicted Basso would challenge for the podium prior to the tour. Kiss of death I have, kiss of death...

fark - cant beleive VDB2 isn't waiting for gesink....

If someone decide to race, then Casar also can't stay at the front. For me its more realistic, that he want to win this stage.

Schleck has been without teammates for a while now.

2 days in a row, i won't get any work done

Jzus Ceerist. This is gonna be a nightmare come friday.

ON TOPIC: How the hell do these guys warm up for a climb that starts from the gun at this pace?

nice

[Carl0880]

Glad to see Armstrong contributing to the success of that breakaway ::Sarcastic::

 

[Moondance]

Casar is pretty far down.... When the Kreuziger group is caught I imagine the peloton will take a breather for a bit. Gesink could get back on.

 

[Ramira]

They were riding on training bikes before the start to make sure they were warmed up afaik.
