Tour de France : Stage 1 Rotterdam Bruxelles 223.5 km

[rghysens]

The peloton stop for a picnic.
How can 2 Tours be so different?


Seems like good advice at the moment.

I can't wait for the Reims stage.

never seen the peloton stop and treated to icecream and sweets in the giro?

If the stage today would finish in Middelburg and the wind would blow as hard as it did in the giro, there would be echelons too.

The Delta Works aren't too bad.

YAAAWWWNNN...

That's it? Thats the best we got? A system of dams, locks and storm surge barriers?

Seems a bit early for them to be chasing in earnest.

Did anyone else see that chat between

Brian Holm and one of his riders?
The rider (?) was told to tell Adam Hansen that he had to pull.
Poor soul....

Edit: I'm watching on Danish TV2.

At least we build it ourselves. Beats showing of natural wonders ;p

You're a typical Dutchie, in the sense that you fail to appreciate this stuff. I honestly think they're really quite impressive, certainly when riding over them.

Hey I jusr saw a train. Philandpaul said that they alwsays run on time in Hollanland, thats pretty cool.

Contador is looking weak today, he lookes tired probably from trying to keep up with lance yesterday. If the wind picks up Radioshack is going to unlesh 10000 years of experience and split this field.

I enjoy watching the Netherlands as the backdrop to cycling. Very different to Australian landscapes.

 

[Publicus]

Watching Bruyneel and Armstrong trying to recast history. Really sad.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Well...it's flat. It's crowded. Youu won't have to ride far from city to city. So yeah, very different from Australia.

But I'd love to be in Australia, I enjoy nature more than crowded space

Not even close to being true....

I don't care how many times it is rehashed... how in the world is it wrong for the best rider in the world to make an attack on a mountain top finish to take time from his rivals....

come on versus, at least try not to suck

I don't how effective it will be. It seems to be finicky (dropping info, riders, etc.). I wouldn't rely on it until it was more stable. Still cool idea.

the also appear at the moment to have deviated from the route, someone has found a shortcut

Anyway, Im going shopping, this is too dull for words

Don't even bother...

First time I saw Cadel today was two minutes ago so that was a relief!

Damn, I kind of thought he would have quit by now

My favorite line was Armstrong saying that Radio Shack reached out to them at the end of the Tour. As if he and JB hadn't been working on a team well before the Tour.

A close second was JB saying that the riders joining Radio Shack wasn't about the money....

The worlds best rider was going to attack and gain time. unfortunatly his domestique attacked instead and he had to blok and follow wheels.

it's beyond sad, they are detached from reality

AStana up front with bertie is good to see for him!
