Tour de France Stage 3 Wanze - Arenberg Porte du Hainaut, 207km

[Scirea]

The Columbia rider towards the front looked like Eisel, Cavendish was towards the back just before the cobbles, find it hard he would have been able to work his way up front through it.

I think Cav is there, Renshaw got him back just before the cobblestones. Petacchi is still there too. And i think i saw Freire at the end.

Kloden with a puncture

Okay.... Versus coverage absolutely blows. All commercials and little racing.

they claim this is the last commercial for the stage

commentator said it was cavendish around 15 riders back of the front :S.... yes he just said cavendish is behind hushovd.

It was Cavendish sitting behind Hushovd

Breschel putting the hammer down

Amen. P&P haven't said anything annoying and it STILL sucks. They break from commercials to show a "feature" on their sponsors product during coverage. Thankfully I finally got Eurosport to work.

Belgium commentator said that was Eisel. I kinda trusts them over any other commentator.

I might have read Levi's quote differently.

I thought he was saying that if the teams had more information about where riders were, they might have been aggressive rather then waiting for people. If everyone knew Spartacus was trying to get them to hold up because the Schlecks were minutes behind the big group with the fallen contenders chasing the lead chase group... maybe teams wouldn't have been so accomodating of his "ride easy" idea.

There might be some truth to that... I don't know.

I agree -- that's how I understood it as well. People will always behave conservatively when they don't have any information. Do no harm, and all that.

They are both there.

I think it is cavendish... I saw someone who looks a bit like a small pig... unless eisel looks like this too :S

How 'bout those Schleck's. Right at the front. Not bad....

 

[balkou]

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Wow Contador saved himself with awesome bike skills

 

[Francois the Postman]

I've seen him in the pack after the last cobble stroke, So I think he is still there. (unless he got a flat in between)

Thanks!890

Wow, Contador slicing and dicing in the pack.

 

[Zoncolan]

Impressed with Chavanel so far.

Why? He's always been good on cobbles. Finished top 10 in Roubaix

 

[pedaling squares]

Bad spot for Contador to move up on the side. Lucky lucky boy. Good skills tho.
