Tour de France Stage 5: Carhaix - Cap Fréhel 164.5 km

[TourOfSardinia]

Horner now back at the back of the group

 

[Anonymous]

Things are cueing up at the front of the bunch.... Fireworks shortly??

 

[just some guy]

Vino got the team at the front game on I hope

 

[Arnout]

The Cofidis team car is like International Rescue today

Red cross. I like them.

 

[The Sheep]

Were they in the back or near the front?

They could film it from the front so pretty much up front

 

[Jamsque]

Gesink looked really shaken up after that crash, I'll be impressed if he makes it to the finish without losing time. Probably a trip to the hospital for him this evening.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Horner's back - didn't look like he'd been on the deck unlike Popo

Pace relenting at the front

 

[Trond Vidar]

Popo has been down too.

The more I see it, the more I can't believe Nikki Sorensen didn't take out that family having a picnic. At least it will be an interesting story for them, or any good photos.

 

[Carl0880]

Popo is looking like a guy who will not be starting tomorrow. Rarely to see Radioshack to lose a rider in an entire tour, little lone 2 in one days (TTT in 00 or 01 when it was USPS only one that comes to mind)

 

[pedaling squares]

If Leopard-Trek had been drilling it Contador and Gesink wouldn't have got back

Now now, don't let reality get in the way of good old fashioned hyperbole.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Gesink and Rabo en bloc at the back. That doesn't give confidence

the intense pace atm isn't helping.
I suspect the other teams know they can benefit here.

kern out of the race

 

[craig1985]

Kern is out.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Nicki back at the peleton, thats a relief at least. Blasted MC.

 

[Spare Tyre]

The more I see it, the more I can't believe Nikki Sorensen didn't take out that family having a picnic. At least it will be an interesting story for them, or any good photos.

Lucky too that the moto stayed upright. If it had gone over at that spot the family might not have been so lucky.

 

[sublimit]

Kern abandoned.

Gesink looked really shaken up after that crash, I'll be impressed if he makes it to the finish without losing time. Probably a trip to the hospital for him this evening.

Same **** different year.

I place my hope in TGBM and Kruijswijk now, they don't seem to fall every important race

 

[thrawn]

Any idea what happened to Kern?

 

[valentius borealis]

Kern abandons

 

[Sofía_]

Nikki is made of iron!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Any idea what happened to Kern?

bad knee - he's been suffering for days

 

[spalco]

Sorensen back on his bike. What a tough guy, wow...

 

[jobiwan]

Now now, don't let reality get in the way of good old fashioned hyperbole.

Kern has been suffering from tendinitis in his knee, no crashes thankfully.
