Danielson disturbing the work in the group.

Garmin's helmets are hideous

na he is safe.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Dan dares!

 

[jobiwan]

Congratulations Dan! Well-deserved!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Well it was pretty obvious after nobody could follow Martins acceleration.

Deserved winner and by far the strongest. End of.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Martin delivers!

This isn't CCC Polsat-Polkowice, it's a Polish national squad sponsored by PolskiBank BgZ and CCC Polsat. Its team leader is Marek Rutkiewicz, who normally rides for Mróz-ActiveJet.

Aah thanks for the information, but really can't the other CCC team take another jersey?



Nice win by Martin

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Martin also new leader ofcourse

 

[auscyclefan94]

Good ride by santambrogio!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

timed his attack to perfection. nice win, congrats.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Can anoyne work out the gc?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ulissi 4th in the stage

Finally we see him breaking through a bit?

 

[Barrus]

Mollema 5th overall, perhaps we'll get in the top 10 countries

GC went really faster. From what I could see quickly

1. Dan Martin
2. Ballan +??
3.??
4.??
5. Mollema

 

[jaylew]

Bole in 2nd. I didn't see Ballan in the top 5.

this is my hope, but i'm sure we'll screw it up somehow. Vattenfall Cyclassics doesn't look promising... unless kenny owns

 

[auscyclefan94]

I thought Santambrogio was 5th on gc from the quick glance i got. I think tommmorow may suit ballan a bit better, shorter climbs and the last two k's of the climb are 2.5% and 5%

 

[hrotha]

Yay, Martin and Bole 1st and 2nd. I'm happy.

Forget it, this was our only hope.

Nice ride by Martin. Very promising on one day, very disappointing on the next, and now getting his first (semi-) big win.

Good win for Dan, he was climbing well at the Giro so was hoping he'd do something here. Anyone know if he's set to ride the Vuelta?

 

[Ryaguas]

Indeed nice ride by Martin... Where was the almighty Mollema??? I saw him closing the gap but I guest he is not that good hahahaha =F

Martin well deserved! new leader =D

Please don't hold it against him that he's become some kind of running gag on this forum... he's no Schleck or Gesink. Usually he should be able to handle Dan Martin, though.
