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

[Moondance]

HTC and Garmin not doing too much damage yet... allez Chouchou.

Gesink at the front now.

 

[pedaling squares]

I think Sherwen is a robot.

Don't forget Moose, the Tour de France is three weeks long. That's like riding a one day race every day for three weeks.

 

[Maxiton]

I think Sherwen is a robot.

One of those tin robots you buy for a dollar. A Texas dollar.

 

[AlejandroValverde]

They're going pretty fast, but the peleton will catch them on last 2 kms I bet

 

[zapata]

Think for sure they will be caught, but a win for Voeckler would be great.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

LOL, pedalingsquares and maxiton.

 

[Kwibus]

I can't watch the last 10km. narrow roads and lots of turning.

Argh! What's up with me! I want to watch, but I can't

 

[just some guy]

Turbo 11.29 behind now

 

[trevim]

Boonen 11min down...

 

[Parrulo]

tommeke is a champion

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

They should never have taken him after his TDF efforts last year. I'd have fired him.

And then you'd have missed out on their best GT GC performance for many years. Managing a guy like Gadret, who clearly is likely to cause certain morale problems from time to time, must be a complex business but Ag2r aren't exactly overflowing with talent.

 

[thirteen]

ooh, Tommeke is hurting something fierce!

 

[AlejandroValverde]

Lmapre in front. For Cunego or Peta?

 

[spalco]

Think for sure they will be caught, but a win for Voeckler would be great.

Absolutely, although a win for my 2-pointer Roy would be a coup for my velogames.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Well, no echelons today. Bummer.

 

[Tuarts]

Looks like Petacchi's feeling good!

Navardauskas does a turn and he shaves off 20 seconds! Awesome!

 

[TeoSheva]

Lmapre in front. For Cunego or Peta?

definitly petacchi

 

[Jamsque]

HTC pulling this back, Cav or Goss must be feeling feisty.

 

[Maxiton]

And then you'd have missed out on their best GT GC performance for many years. Managing a guy like Gadret, who clearly is likely to cause certain morale problems from time to time, must be a complex business but Ag2r aren't exactly overflowing with talent.

Of course. But if a support rider refuses to give up a wheel for his leader? I mean, WTF? He'd be headed home that day on a proper team. IMO.

 

[No_Balls]

How much is the time cut?

Depends on the average speed.

 

[perico]

Hesjedal doing a massive amount of work.

 

[Highlander]

Considering how the HTC director was mentioning how there is a slight uphill finish, I wonder if Goss will be their man today?

 

[Carl0880]

astana at front now doing the pace, wonder if vino maybe like that 6% section at around the 1 km mark for 200 meters, be a type of attack he would try

 

[AlejandroValverde]

Addy Engels is also doing huge amount of work but 11minutes behind.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Tommy V's face paints a picture
