HTC slowed it down. Everyone rejoined.

Paisan still looks awful. I actually thought he would be ok for letour.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Why are they slowing?

 

[Maxiton]

I can't believe Basso got caught out in that. Pretty sad.

 

[Publicus]

Why are they slowing?

Because Alberto made the split.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Why are they slowing?

we must save energy for the 3rd week, or no, the 4th week (the drinking after the tour)

 

[Parrulo]

the skoda tour commercial is pretty cool

 

[Carl0880]

Has it been confirmed that it was in fact Basso?

the live report said it plus the shot of them coming back to the peleton i saw the 91 number, which be Basso

 

[PedalCastro]

Come on Galimzyanov today, Pedal needs some money!!

 

[Ferminal]

5 Lampre were caught out.. Petacchi was one?

 

[ChopperArris]

Has the TdF ever gone across Millau?

Can only be a matter of time...Time Trial across & back maybe?

 

[craig1985]

That was kinda lame.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Basso got lucky

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Basso got lucky

If Basso was Contador, then Leopard Trek would start riding faster than you can say RIDE!!!

 

[Chef_Vodnik]

So, will the crowds complain about HTC "neutralizing" the splits?

 

[Publicus]

If Basso was Contador, then Leopard Trek would start riding faster than you can say RIDE!!!

And Radio Shack, BMC and any other team with GC interests.

EDIT: still very windy

 

[The Sheep]

Why are they slowing?

no one is going to ride 50km to put Basso on some time

 

[Ferminal]

Can only be a matter of time...Time Trial across & back maybe?

Nice for a prologue.

 

[Maxiton]

If Basso was Contador, then Leopard Trek would start riding faster than you can say RIDE!!!

For sure . . . .

 

[Carl0880]

Sandy Casar nursing any injury? He was struggling to stay in contact with the peleton on stage 1, and he was caught in the very last group of the wind splits.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Farrar riding...

Is Garmin trying to make echelons?

 

[Fowsto Cope-E]

no one is going to ride 50km to put Basso on some time

Their mistake. Now Basso's going to win the Tour.

 

[craig1985]

Karpets is struggling.

 

[spalco]

Why isn't Katusha helping Karpets?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Dudes pay attention, that was Hushovd and Farrar taking turns...
