The Sheep said:EBH had a problem with his pedal apparently.
insideout leadout said:To tell you the truth...do we have enough info to judge that? That stage EBH won in Dauphine was at least as impressive as anything Sagan ever done on the climbs.
Huh, that's a beginner/amateur mistake (therefore, a mistake I frequently make).ingsve said:Ya, more exactly in the sharp corner when they are leaning to one side he hit his pedal into the ground.

TeamSkyFans said:described by sky as a crash.. hmm ????
The Hitch said:Im sure that 20 20 cricket they had on eurosport 2 at the time was worth it.![]()
ingsve said:Nordic eurosport 2 had the race on at that time and I listened with english commentary so I heard Bäckstedt at least.
The Hitch said:Lucky. Its always to better to watch with commentary you can understand. The canadian said Ryder Hejsdals name in a jamaican way the whole time as well, and him being Canadian, they couldnt stop saying it.
ansimi said:I'll predict a Gesink win and Hesjedal on the podium. Those guys are in shape, motivated, and this course suits them more than Quebec.

They are already waking!!!!
Good to see Gesink win but I am glad I didn't get up for it as I would of had to put up with the dutch fan club going through their pom-pom chant routine for gesink.
I may have to keep off the forums for the next few days.

Bmc meet their/your modest expectations for the weekend didn't they... oh wait, nevermind.
Haha, those expectations were really hilarious before, but even more so now:auscyclefan94 said:I just said what BMC's expectations are. They definetly weren't mine.
Maybe they should try to sign this guy Gesink, he has actually reached their goals for the weekend."A reasonable expectation would be to win one of the two races and have a guy on the podium both days," Assistant Director Michael Sayers said.

auscyclefan94 said:I expect two more this weekend and to pick up some more races later in the year. I think cadel will win lombardy.
ingsve said:I guess it's a way to describe to non-cyclists why hitting your pedal into the ground is bad and will get you out of contention. The word crash is easier to understand.
I can't see Cadel winning Lombardy either if Gesink is this good (and add an in form Gilbert and possibly A.Schleck to the list...)Timmy-loves-Rabo said:no. you also said you expected two victories also

what a joke bmc's expectations were.
they haven't won anything all year, then expect to win both races on the w.e with a quality field, and without their star rider.

I sent Magnus a tweet - don't know if he'll see it.
Ah, in that case, we might as well consider EBH the winner...maltiv said:Edvalds says he vanished in the end because his pedal pulled out. Man...that is some tough luck. He says he could've won if not, and if he says so then I thrust him...
All this bad luck has to stop sometime...and preferably at worlds, as it did with cadel!
Apparently Evans raced in Europe to be closer to his doctors (I'm not even kidding...)Mellow Velo said:I can't help but think BMC made a complete hash of the weekend team selections.
Both the Canadian courses were right up Cadel's street, while, Paris-Bruxelles fitted him as well as two left shoes.
