A surprisingly entertaining stage.

Brilliant ride by Vakoc. Was really roaring him on in the last few kms.

Well, question is, what do they use the radios for? announce the weather? discuss results of other races....

Everyone just went "no trees on the road. We're good!"

 

[theyoungest]

Wtf is kirby on about? Saying its an early birthday present for vakoc, born 11 july??!

He was wondering if Vakoc would make it when he had 1 minute at 2 k to go... a real connoisseur, Kirby is.

Yeah always good to see someone take a win like this.

You hav cycling, and then you have Kirby.

What a ride by the young Czech rider.
There was a short part of the race where i thought tht the bunch was gaining a lot. The youngster seemed to be tired a bit. At 3km mark, i knew he would win.

Is this a quote you've found somewhere?

It's an adaptation of what Ian Hislop of Private Eye satirical magazine said when he'd just lost a libel case a few years back:

If this is Justice then I am banana.

Kind of hope he can hang onto the leaders jersey.

[webvan]

Can't see anything on Eurosport ?

EDIT - nevermind, found it, 30km to go

 

[trevim]

Ferrari on the wheel of Bos. What a dynamic duo

 

[luckyboy]

lol Bos. Thought Mezgec had that, Giant had the only nice leadout there

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Giant should ride for Arndt instead.

 

[uconnryan]

Crash split the bunch inside the final km, Swift went down. Good win from Bos

 

[kingjr]

Giant should ride for Arndt instead.

Mezgec is faster imo.

LOL!



Hmm... first it's fallen trees, then it's a balloon-banner-add-thingy. What's this; an obstacle course?

 

[classicomano]

Giant should ride for Arndt instead.

On what merit exactly?

 

[theyoungest]

Giant should ride for Arndt instead.

Mezgec is way faster.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Fair play to Bos, he was by far and away the fastest sprinter today. He sucked the other days tho. Weird rider
