Tirreno-Adriatico: Stage 3, Terranuova Bracciolini - Perugia, 189km

He won't win MSR this year, I hope they put the hammer down now!

 

[maltiv]

Weird, Cavendish has had 20+ race days this year and he is still struggling to get over small hills.

 

[Tuarts]

Cav's MSR training is going well.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Cancellara mechanical on the cobbles!

 

[Tuarts]

Cancellara crashed?

 

[Jamsque]

It looks like Cav managed to get back on before the start of the descent. I'm gonna go look up his T-A results from 2009.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Canc' soon back with the group

 

[spalco]

Lol, race is getting confusing now.

 

[Tuarts]

Is this a road race or an obstacle course?

That was the one where he kept getting dropped on the climbs, but after MSR said he was doing so intentionally to make people think he couldn't get over the Poggio and Cipressa.

He also won a sprint.

 

[Jamsque]

In T-A 2009 Cav competed in two sprints and got a second and a first. I don't think he's at that level this year.

Terminator attacked!

8 roundabouts in the final 6km today...more to come!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Euskatel seem to be doing the advertising hording job today - one man nearly always out on a break up front.

 

[Tuarts]

Cherel (AG2r) is with Sesma at the front.

 

[The Sheep]

Euskatel seem to be doing the advertising hording job today - one man nearly always out on a break up front.

They still need their first win.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Go Ivanov!

 

[Tuarts]

What is this black and red jersey that's attacked of the front?

Caisse making a late start to the season?

 

[hrotha]

Madrazo went again. I'm happy to see he's apparently decided it's time to start to deliver.

 

[auscyclefan94]

1st sighting of Cadel on "Cadel watch"

 

[sublimit]

Cavs back in the bunch by the looks of things.

 

[Jamsque]

The Thor Train brings Farrar up to the front.

 

[Tuarts]

Caisse making a late start to the season?

Ah thanks. Thought it might've been a BMC jersey but there was no tri-colours on the sleeves so it couldn't have been their only rider.

 

[Mellow Velo]

A lot more of an attacking race than Paris-Nice.
Everytime the road goes up, it gets very lively.
