TOC stage 3: San Francisco - Santa Cruz, 182.9 km

[Moondance]

Sagan showing of his cyclo-cross skillz...

Show off...

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

to be fair lance does look fat

Not to me he's not. He's always had a wider frame than a lot of other pros, of course, but for him he's looking as slim as he ever has.

A fat guy would not be able to stay in this front group.

Phil and Paul are saying the Cervelo rider is Haussler, not Deignan.

Both are there

EDIT: to clarify. Deignan is there. There's a second Cervélo guy, who may be Haussler. But i don't think it is.

 

[BikeCentric]

Ugh this is just terrible negative racing in the main chase group. Radio Shack and Garmin just have zero competition at this race and so both teams are just blocking on the front of this chase group. Boooooring race.

 

[Moondance]

Both are there

Now, I guess...

But the one who was launching attacks 10 minutes ago or so was defintely Deignan.

The other teams will know this. It's up to them to make a break.

De Maar still in the group two gogo Marc

I'm not saying the 2nd one is Haussler.
In fact, I think it's Sastre's pet monkey Pujol

 

[Jamsque]

Liquigas has got a bit of a chase organised, but I think the gap is still going out.

he definitely is

 

[jaylew]

Peter Sagan is climbing well, despite falling over just now. If this gets brought back he'll be itching for a shot at the sprint.

I think Haussler is still there as well. Don't think they'll catch them, though.

Edit: Several posts too late...

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

Schleck out the back.

 

[BikeCentric]

Obviously you *** fanboy. The problem is that the competition in this race sucks because most good riders are at the Giro.

Easy on the crazy sauce there, Centric.

This is how exciting the Tour of California is, all we have to talk about is whether or not Heinrich Haussler is in a group or not.

Can we talk about Levi's dome, then?

 

[simmspin]

Cannot believe Paul just said he thinks Levi would out-sprint Rogers and Dave Z......ha!!

will lance finish 28th?

 

[The Sheep]

Now Liquigas to take them back

 

[issoisso]

Who's that? Stetina?

I had a feeling you wanted to make that point.

 

[Moondance]

Well, that was that I guess.

Decent action all in all.

Who's that? Stetina?

I think it's Hesjedal

To be fair, he is the only cyclist in the pro peloton with his own action figure. That I know of.

In Paul's mind, being on Armstrong's team = instant win.


Stetina or whoever caught now. Hesjedal attacks immediately.
