Tour de France Stage 3: Olonne-sur-Mer - Redon (198 km)

[Jamsque]

One of the four that dropped back to help Taaramae completely whiffed and is now on his own off the back. Whoops.

 

[Finn84]

Buffaz slows to let other Cofidis riders to catch him...but slows too much and losed contact...

 

[Jamsque]

And here comes the nine-man HTC train!

 

[Parrulo]

taramae better get back now or he will lose some time

 

[Anonymous]

GeriShack running up the left. HTC trembles...

 

[Fowsto Cope-E]

Sherwen claims that speeds in the sprint approach 80km/h

Taaramae gets a wheel from Duque

I think Duque should have stayed in the peloton and fought it out in the sprint.

 

[Anonymous]

It's on......

 

[Potomac]

Sherwin called the catch right

 

[Publicus]

Look at how the peloton is strung out. They must be flying on the front end.

Someone is getting caught out today.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Cofidis did everything short of physically attaching their line of riders to that car with a rope.

 

[Benotti69]

cofidis make it back.

 

[Parrulo]

lots of splits

 

[Fowsto Cope-E]

Cofidis back on. That's pretty incredible.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Bike showing average of 60+ speeds. The HTC train is on

 

[Jamsque]

HTC messed up a little on that roundabout. Six men left for Cav I think.

 

[Parrulo]

velits drops the entire peloton on a roundabout

and once again no1 is spared for cav not even martin and velits

 

[thehog]

90 degree bend at 3km to go.

 

[sultanofhyd]

Cofidis back on. That's pretty incredible.

Great screenname, dude, but not sure he'll be too happy to have his name twisted like this.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Cofidis back on. That's pretty incredible.

Not surprising when you consider that they stapled themselves to a car.

 

[Benneth]

This turn at 3k sounds dodgy.

 

[Parrulo]

contador must be in a good position.

petachi already on cav's wheel. would be ulz to see him outfox cav again

 

[Jamsque]

HTC don't have enough men unless Tony Martin can ride 3km on the front.

 

[Jamsque]

Where are Garmin and Sky?

 

[Ferminal]

Should we feel sorry for Tony?

 

[Fowsto Cope-E]

I think HTC started the leadout a bit too early.
