This weekends Canadian Races

[Andrichuk]

Liquigas and RS were doing most of the chasing. Now its gonna be left up to Garmin and Sky it seams. Good move by RS and Liquigas.

Wonder if we're going to see some funny faces out of Sorenson this race....LOL

Just his style to look really laboured. Think he even looked this way at the start, ha, ha.

Horner always "smiling". Sorenson always grimacing.

english feed anyone?

And now just as it gets interesting they cut to a cocking break.

I think this race does have some history....the course certainly does anyways. Olympics, worlds, world-cups....not 100 years or anything, but still...more than your average race outside of Europe.

Yes, it's a little like Strade Bianchi that way. The race as is does not have history but the course has history enough to make the race interesting.

Exactly, even though I dont understand French I would have been fine watching that an hour ago. Now I want to watch the race!

Which Liquigas rider is in the break?

 

[Andy99]

To be honest, I am often sceptical about 'new' protour events, though the two Canadian races have certainly been a pleasant surprise, and there is obviously a great, almost european atmosphere.

Plus, as an added bonus, the races are actually in the racing season

 

[Parrot23]

Machado. Haven't seen him much since the spring.

Type of guy to make a crazy attack win. Opposite of Leipheimer, at least.

 

[insideout leadout]

Which Liquigas rider is in the break?

Daniel Oss

 

[JRanton]

Nice lead for Horner group. Euskatel now on the front of the peleton.

 

[Andrichuk]

Daniel Oss I believe.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Radioshack really hammering it up front.

 

[Andrichuk]

Guess they dont hav any faith in there rider up the road.

 

[Sneekes]

Daniel Oss I believe.

He's impressed me this year. Whatever the situation - he's shown he is strong and done a good job.

 

[JRanton]

Pretty sure the initial break group has been brought back.

 

[Andy99]

How far to go please?

 

[hrotha]

Oss right by Machado... they both look silly

 

[royalpig180]

Daniel Oss I believe.

Could be one to watch with the way he won the Giro del Veneto a couple weeks ago with a late attack (I think the rain played a role there though).

 

[Andrichuk]

Pretty sure the initial break group has been brought back.

HAHA wow I definitely missed that. I thought the group with RS was still chasing them

 

[JRanton]

Yup, Horner group is now at the head of the course. 53 second advantage over the peleton.

 

[Parrot23]

Yeah, 53 secs. See Voeckler hanging about the front, LOL.

Sorenson should help the break on the hills (can put out some serious watts, re at Tour setting up Saxo etc., and his Giro mountain stage win this year).

 

[Andrichuk]

Ya there was a huge crash on one of the last corners like 1k out. Everyone on the outside got taken out.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Pretty sure the initial break group has been brought back.

No they haven't.
