Three days of de Panne - 29th to 31st March

[More Strides than Rides]

"Wallah!"

Its still early with 40k to go, but things are setting up well for this breakaway group

 

[Ferminal]

Has anyone seen Peter the Great?

Or the Leakies at all...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Well with Westra in front the peloton can't really afford to wait much longer. Unless they want to give De Panne to Westra that much

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

So! 13 riders, 38km, 1'30". The peloton could certainly bring this back if they get organised, but I can't see who will chase besides BMC.

HTC, Liquigas, Rabo

/\ /\ /\ /\
HTC have Bert Grabsch in the move.

Liquigas! I forgot about Liquigas. I hope they chase this down, even though my prediction of Grabsch is looking better by the minute.

 

[Tuarts]

Jeez, they ddn't make that catch easy did they? Wonder how well Westra and Steegmans will work with them now

 

[Highlander]

Steegmans finally made it across. The peloton appears to be losing some interest as the gap has gone out to almost 1:30. They better get moving since I want to see Kenny van Hummel take this stage.

That Spanish stream? Does it exist?

Cheers.

g2 got caught, only Westra + Steggels got away

 

[superconfex]

sky got anyone up there???

 

[The Hitch]

HTC, Liquigas, Rabo

A htc rider just attacked. Ghejslink (wrong spelling probably)

Get in the there.

Damn peloton starting to push it

 

[Jamsque]

OK I am confused about who is up front then.

More aggression at the head of the peloton, Devolder on the way with a few in tow.

Grabsch is back in the peloton

 

[roundabout]

seriously, wtf is Devolder's problem

OTOH he isn't the brightest even with radios

 

[cineteq]

Who are in the lead group?

 

[Jamsque]

Devolder has pulled a group away, but no-one wants to work, so now the rest will come back.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Devolder doesn't even drop guys like Tom Leezer at the moment... wow. He's seriously not good

 

[Anonymous]

Who are in the lead group?

Jens Debusschere
Aleksejs Saramotins (Let)
Jelle Wallays
Bert De Backer
Pim Ligthart (Ned)
Laurens De Vreese
Mickael Delage (Fra)
Vladimir Goesev (Rus)
André Greipel (Dui)
Michal Kwiatkowski (Pol)
Dmitri Moeravjov (Kaz)
Gert Steegmans
Lieuwe Westra (Ned)

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Gusyev, Kwaitkoski, (RS), Steegmans (QS) Westra, and I think another(Vac), Greipel (Lotto), Topsport, HTC, Katusha, Sky?

of course, as I try to give it a tally, everything goes to hell from the chase. Every team has to have a favorite on the move by now

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

True. But very striking without radios. He doesn't even seem to know the flemish roads.
Often to far in the peloton on important parts of the race

 

[roundabout]

Who are in the lead group?

Steegmans, Westra, Debusschere, Saramotins, Wallays, De Backer, Ligthart, De Vreese, Delage, Goesev, Greipel, Kwiatkowski en Moeravjov

 

[Ferminal]

More of a bus than a train following him.
