Right. I was not on guard

 

[taiwan]

Morons. Menchov is "The Pope"

I know. Who is it though? I'm genuinely confused now.

Nevermind.

Weather compared to yesterday: cooler and more wind.

5 men with 2'16" on the Group - out since km10 was 6 mins earlier

RS2 now live

 

[Jamsque]

Wow, Westra really wants this. Too much flat ground for him to stay away but it's a bold move.

Isn't it more staying out of trouble?

Are their names known?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So Westra again pretty much dropped all the other TT specialists. Says enough.

Wiggins is really not much of a cobble rider appearently.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Stijn Devolder in big magic spanner trouble with the Commissaires then?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

According to Sporza, Wiggins NOT in the 2nd peloton. He is 'very far behind' says to Karl Vannieuwkerke from Sporza.

So. Write off Wiggins.

 

[Highlander]

The Eurosport announcers were discussing Devolder who was apparently hanging on the team car for quite some time and was told off twice by the race officials. Great way to represent the national champs jersey in your home country

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

No, it's pope Pius X. I thought he looked remarkably like Patrick Lefevre.

WOW!! lefevere 100% reincarnation of that

 

[Sasquatch]

Wow, Westra really wants this. Too much flat ground for him to stay away but it's a bold move.

He only made the move on the last climb to pick up bonus seconds at the next intermediate sprint. He finished second. Thats his objective in the break.

Crosswinds all the way to the finish, so it's hard for guys like Wiggins to come back.

 

[Jamsque]

Looks nice and windy out there today, should be fun.

Wiggins is fine on the cobbles (25th in P-R two years ago) but as always he is bad on the slopes.

 

[Sasquatch]

57km to go.

Break of 22 ahead, with only 5 odd seconds on a peloton which has fractured. The rest of the peloton with the white jersey - one of the jerseys is a further 2 minutes behind.

Those guys are out of the race today. Wont' catch back up with now, 40 odd riders at the head of the race.

A sky rider or two is in there. If I could guess, I would say one is Wiggins.

So. Write off Wiggins.

Peloton together, 55km to go.

 

[Jamsque]

Well that's a damn shame if Wiggins is really right at the back of the race today.

 

[boomcie]

WOW!! lefevere 100% reincarnation of that

Yeah, really quite disturbing

 

[TeoSheva]

57km to go.

Break of 22 ahead, with only 5 odd seconds on a peloton which has fractured. The rest of the peloton with the white jersey - one of the jerseys is a further minute and a half behind.

"there" where? the last peleton?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Greipel has been dropped too.
So no Wiggins and Greipel..

Of the TT-specialists Westra, Grabsch, Rosseler and Grivko at least 100% there

 

[TeoSheva]

Peloton together, 55km to go.

ALL togheter? Wiggins too?

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Grabsch in front group. Could win this race after all...

 

[cineteq]

ALL togheter? Wiggins too?

tweet update: the first two groups come together, but without Wiggins
