Tour de l'Ain 2011 2.1 09/08 - 13/08

[Mellow Velo]

Pinot pops!

 

[LaFleur]

Taaramae looks pretty much done but still he's pushing it so good that Pinot is finished and it's only Moncoutie now

 

[Nielsa]

Taarame group 40 secs ahead of Poels.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Pinot returns!
There's a lot of cracke and en difficulte, behind.
Only.....er...........10kms left.

 

[roundabout]

Leopold König (if that's him with Poels) is becoming a man to watch for the future

 

[Kwibus]

Svein Tuft in the Poels group?

 

[krebs303]

The geoloc info for the France 3 stream seems to only list European countries. Didn't find Australia, US, NZ, Colombia.

you can add Mexico. no stream

 

[roundabout]

Svein Tuft in the Poels group?

No, it's 2 Colombians, Big Mat and Netapp

 

[LaFleur]

Moncoutie will go any minute now..

 

[Nielsa]

French announcer saying the two Colombians (now pulling Poels) have been riding in Europe to find European teams.

Taaramae dropped! He was working for Moncoutié and now he's completely stiff.

 

[Kwibus]

No, it's 2 Colombians, Big Mat and Netapp

I've heard the commentators mention the name Svein Tuft multiple times, but I can't believe it. Doesn't he ride for Spidertech?

Edit:

6 Svein Tuft (Can) Team Spidertech Powered By C10 0:00:49

In the GC, so it's definately Tuft.

edit2:
He's dropped now

 

[Mellow Velo]

Lead 50"
Poels seems to have passed a fistful of euros over in the direction of Columbia.

Taramaae gone.

Taaramae dropped!

Why do you have to use the expression "dropped"? This really doesn't fit in here if he was pacing for the last 10k

Yes, but in the Poels group it's Chapalud, Atapuma and Mederel.

And no Tuft

 

[hrotha]

Those Colombians have names, you know. Atapuma and Chalapud, if I'm not mistaken.
edit: BAH

 

[LaFleur]

What was Taaramae looking at? How Poels is feeling and then reported it or smth?

 

[Nielsa]

I didn't mean it that way, I know he was working for Moncoutie. Good work by Taaramae anyway.

 

[Kwibus]

Yes, but in the Poels group it's Chapalud, Atapuma and Mederel.

And no Tuft

That's because he got dropped not long after I mentioned him.

 

[Jamsque]

What are the gaps on the road? Does Moncoutie have the GC wrapped up?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Moncoutie may take the GC, but he'll struggle for the stage win, now.

What are the gaps on the road? Does Moncoutie have the GC wrapped up?

Last gap I heard was 1 minute.

 

[Nielsa]

1m10s gap.

 

[roundabout]

While Pinot can outsprint Moncoutie 90 times out of a 100 it's no certainty that it will come to that.

 

[Kwibus]

1 minute and 10 seconds.

So I guess Moncoutie will win the GC.

 

[LaFleur]

Well this climb is a beast, imagine it being in the TdF

 

[Mellow Velo]

Flamme Rouge. last gap 1'-10"
