Tour de Romandie, Stage 1: Martigny - Leysin, 172.6km

2 minute gap, if Tony Martin was in that group, watch out.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Hardly.

Euskaltel have no GC rider.

More like #epicfailBMC

Why?

Because BMC were doing a lot of work chasing and didn't make any progress. Did the break come back? No. Then BMC failed because they showed their hand and it didn't work out for them!

The onus is on them to keep the time gap in check. They actually did reduce the time gap a fair bit. Watch the race troll!

Why would Euskatel want to relinquish the lead like that?

 

[dlwssonic]

wow pretty good comeback from the bunch, anyone thinks the riders from the bunch still havea chance for the GC

 

[Mellow Velo]

So it's Brutt v Bobridge for the GC?

Another victory for BMC and race radios.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Then why stick around?

even I didn't expect this. still I really wish brutt now wins this race or even better kvachuk suits organisation well to have a winner like that for havign this parcours. although brutt really deserves it he rides with so much heart

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Brutt will lose yellow tomorrow

 

[auscyclefan94]

Well done Brutt! How is that pronounced?

 

[dlwssonic]

anywhere where brutt can lose time? maybe TT.

 

[jens_attacks]

i hope it's not all over.

boring stage anyway very boring

 

[Jamsque]

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Because they would lose it anyway.

Nonsense. Didn't you notice Castroviejo being dropped? They were going to lose the jersey anyway.

That said, I expected better from Castroviejo.

[Sophistic]

last km@7% tomorrow

 

[auscyclefan94]

Meh, maybe I expected too much from euskatel as hrotha is right in a sense that euskies didn't have a gc rider but I thought they wouldn't of let the gap go out so far.

 

[Ferminal]

Tommy D was in there somewhere... Get him in the Tour squad!

 

[Jamsque]

last km@7% tomorrow

Sounds like Cuddles territory.

 

[Bavarianrider]

I hope Tony is ok he must have crashed on the downhill

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

they didnt care.

something the teams WITH gc aspirations should have picked up sooner. But once again the team directors failed to notice

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I hope Tony is ok he must have crashed on the downhill

or maybe he just got dropped horribly

 

[Mellow Velo]

Sounds like Cuddles territory.

Brutt terrain tomorrow, too.
When is Taylor Phinney due to finish?
