What was the time gap between Zabriskie, Rogers, and Leipheimer to the chase group?

 

[Moondance]

"Oh Bonny Doon, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Bonny Doon, oh Bonny Doon, I love you so."

 

[Moondance]

What was the time gap between Zabriskie, Rogers, and Leipheimer to the chase group?

17 secs...

 

[Jamsque]

They're calling it 17 seconds back to the Sagan group, so 27" will be the gap to Zabriskie from that big group on GC.

and VS shows a 30 secs game preview and 5 min of commercials while the race was ending. That was BS. I'm at the Flyers game on my laptop...had VS on the TV in skybox...and had to read text on who won the race lol.

Good day for the boys in argyle with a win in the second biggest race on Earth. On, and in the Giro too.

Levi loses a few seconds to a couple of other leaders. Neutralise?

Carlton Kirby very nearly saying Garmin-Transvestites was my commentry highlight of the evening.

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

LOL I certainly did not. I recommend Hooked on Phonics for your reading comprehension troll.

No it was issoisso. The trolls meld into one on a thread like this.

I don't know why you watch it if it makes you so angry.

I just can't imagine watching something for the soul reason of hoping someone fails and trying to bait other users. But that's just me.

*puts on american hat*

Clearly this is much better than Furrer winning at the Jay-roh

No it was issoisso.

Sorry, I'm not BikeCentric, I'm not going to get mad at you for blatant lies like those.

You did say that the sprinters were in Armstrong's group, so to be correct it was not a lie.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Marc de Maar

Only one of the best espoirs at Rabo TT3 before he went pro... just incredible bad luck, broke his elbow twice, had pfeiffer, and was used in the wrong races (classics, instead of small tours like this one)

De Maar >>>> ex-teammates

 

[Jamsque]

Po-tay-to, po-tah-to

Armstrong is not even in the top 10!

 

[issoisso]

Just to **** you off a little bit more, I'm not going to get mad at another lie

It must be so frustrating to make trolling your goal here and fail so miserably. It's actually pretty funny

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Remember we all love you too, sweetie.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

What an exciting stage. Interesting to see just how many of the big stars at the race gave a flying one, with Phil and Paul having to feign (at least I hope it was feigned) surprise at Andy Schleck not treating this race like the super-important epic it is.

I'm kind of pleased, because it proves my point about the big stars not really caring about the race, and kind of disappointed, because I would have loved to see Andy giving it hell on the climb. If Dave Zabriskie is in the front group on one of your race's key climbs, your race doesn't have demanding enough climbs.

That's "potato" to you, sir.

Of course. At the Jay-roh they don't even realise the danger of a light drizzle.

Levi loses a few seconds to a couple of other leaders. Neutralise?

I think I did see Zabriskie cutting a corner a few hours back, so he clearly had a shorter route than Levi. And Rogers isn't American. They'll both receive 2 min penalties for their insolence.

 

[SpeedWay]

lol

versus you suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The not quite ready for prime time players. As a sports channel totally clueless. Next week they'll return to a 169 hrs/wk of bull riding.

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

issoisso,

it's not a lie. You said:

Yes, we're all frustrated that Armstrong managed the amazing feat of staying with a sprinter and pals on a cat. 2 climb.

And I don't know why you guys start the baiting if you can't take any back. You will accept that you started it?

At least thehog had the grace to log off when he saw Armstrong wasn't dropped.

That's all you were watching to see happen, so why did you bother to stay?

Post of the day for me.

Yes, if only Rabo had sent him to the Tour of California...
