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

[Jamsque]

Westra is following every move, he doesn't seem to have much team support to chase people down for him. I think he's going to be pretty tired this afternoon, he has worked his *** off every stage so far.

 

[TeoSheva]

Kerdalerda is on the attack with one other, they have 14 seconds.

I try: Keukeleire?

 

[Ferminal]

10-15 off the front!

Kuuchinluuchin?

 

[search]

10-15 off the front!

Galimzyanov is one of them, so it may not work I think

 

[Francois the Postman]

Finally a windy day! And still 45km/h on average. Ace.

Sutton decides to go solo rather than wait for the sprint? Strange decision.

 

[Ferminal]

Sutton has a go, + 2 more now, but the 50 are together again more or less.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Don't think Degenkolb is going to win this. He had severe troubles keeping up with the echelons. Just lacks power to win in the ITT me thinks

 

[TeoSheva]

how far is the arrival?

Henderson is still there so it's ok.

 

[Francois the Postman]

how far is the arrival?

17kilometer

 

[TeoSheva]

17kilometer

thank you!

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

how far is the arrival?

17 to go. Was Sutton caught again?

 

[Francois the Postman]

Barry back in the group

 

[Ferminal]

17 to go. Was Sutton caught again?

Caught just now.

It's going to be attack/catch/attack/catch for the rest of the stage I think.

 

[TeoSheva]

Caught just now.

It's going to be attack/catch/attack/catch for the rest of the stage I think.

we have only to see if the last one will be a catch or an attack

 

[Francois the Postman]

What's the GQ situation? Did De Backer pick up some bonus secs?

 

[wirral]

What's the GQ situation? Did De Backer pick up some bonus secs?

Yes he picked up 2 seconds.

 

[Roland Rat]

Surely you mean Bruyneel's comforting arm.

No, Vaughters - it was a Wiggins thing.



Oi, Barry, that's the last time I think of you for a race.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Good effort by Canuti. Doesn't really look like he's enjoying himself, though. He knows he will get caught of course.

 

[Francois the Postman]

10k to go, Canuti has 20 secs on the chasing group, if that time display can be trusted.

edit:22 on the line for the local lap. HTC chasing.

 

[boomcie]

Karl Vannieuwkerke just used the term "poepwind" (=ass wind), he is taking it one step too far.

 

[Francois the Postman]

6k to go. 19'' for Canuti. HTC still chasing. Rabo and Sky organized behind them.
