Will the Schlecks fall when trying to follow Fabian?

 

[superconfex]

Shack look unlikely for a top 5 place at the first point.

The diesel hasn't kicked in yet

Who were Garmin's 4th & 5th riders behind Thor, VDV, Hesjedal?

Dean was dropped and Zabriskie was back in 6th.

Miller & Danielson?

yes i think so. danielson was certainly there

 

[Maxiton]

Sorry about Eisel. It'll be interesting to see what Leopard does.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Damn!!!

HTC sucks even worse than Radioshack so far. Bye money

 

[TourOfSardinia]

HTC down 8s at point 1

 

[Jamsque]

HTC are 8 seconds down on Sky's time at the first check. What was Shack's time?

 

[Gubby Allen]

HTC 0.08 down at first point.

If Leopard Trek catch Bernie at any point, he's gone.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

How can a team named Leopard not have even one rider with a spotted jersey?

to be fair that eisel incident would have taken momenteum away. I'd say it cost them 5secs at least.

If they can have a good last part you never know...

Identical.....

 

[Ney the Viking]

The shack 15 behind at 2nd point.

 

[GroupDK]

shack 2 check +15 sec from garmin

 

[sultanofhyd]

HTC should give up the ghost and wait for Eisel, they'll lose many more stage wins without Eisel.

 

[Ferminal]

Shack 15s down.

Congrats Garmin.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

4. TEAM RADIOSHACK 00:17:00 00:00:15

Radioshack still too slow. They lost an additional second to Rabo as well.

Well, that was expected...what a way to waste your money!

 

[Gubby Allen]

Cofidis 2 secs inside Euskatel who finish last.

 

[Havetts]

Evans starts, ACF wakes up!

 

[The Sheep]

Poor Posthuma has to ride behind Cancelarra

 

[sublimit]

I'm amazed about no Rasmussen or Grabsch but there you go. Quite a dumb selection for HTC.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Should HTC maybe have said "**** the ttt, let's wait for Eisel"? Losing him would be a much blow than losing a couple extra seconds today I'd say.

He just needs to do a 45km/hr TT, he should be fine with the time limit.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Cadel ... you are supposed to zip those skinsuits ... its not the surger beach where y ou need your shirt open ...

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

HTC should give up the ghost and wait for Eisel, they'll lose many more stage wins without Eisel.

he should be ok.

He'll dig deep but I'm sure he'll make the limit.

 

[K-0tic]

HTC --> big mouth only
