[Finn84]

Btw, is The Chicken last rider who has won a stage in polka-dots?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

He already did his "musn't panic" when the mechanic is making a tire change, too.

has he mentioned his golden 1 minute per 10km rule ?

you might be right as far as individual, i can't think of anyone else (Kohl, Pelizotti and Charteau is a no). But Thor was in Polka Dot on the TTT.

Vacansoleil need fitter guys in their cars.

Aw Feillu...

 

[Dutchsmurf]

puncture feillu

And that guy that was supposed to help him was seriously overweighted for a guy with his job.

 

[Ney the Viking]

they are planning on cutting it close today, huh? Nasty that Garmin just lets OPL do all the work, with the occasional pull by David Z.

They push harder when you puncture and get on a new bike

Captain America is worth three of your puny European domestiques. Wait, July 4th was yesterday...

I missed that, what did Riis do now?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

They'll need at least 20-25 seconds you would think at the base of the ramp.

When Canc's career is over, he could work as a babysitter.

IMO at least 45.

haha so very true, I love the guy. Crazy and one of the best positions on a bike ever!

Didn't let Feillu stay in its slipstream (sped off). The Big Carrot was more obliging.

 

[Parrulo]

They'll need at least 20-25 seconds you would think at the base of the ramp.

maybe even more depend on how hard the peloton tackles the hill

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I say 40/45 seconds

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Kern the revelation looking good

I think something spectacular has to happen for the break to succeed, like a herd of dinosaurs stampeding over the road to block the peloton or so.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I say 40/45 seconds

you are probably right, I thought I was a bit generous.

 

[Bala Verde]

Kern off the back again. Injured according to Belgian commentators? Knee?
