The radio station is actually an elaborate troll by Ryo.

I thought he was here, or is he riding TDU?

Silly me

Wow, Hushovd's best finish since the 2011 TdF pretty much

 

[CraZyCaLL]

Alberto Contador ganador de la tappa. Epic radio fail

 

[cocteau_ireland]

In post-race interview Cav says he's in negotiations to transfer the administration of isle of man to argentina.

 

[trevim]

Cavendish may be expensive and dependent of the team but he certainly delivers. 20 wins assured for Quickstep

 

[Mellow Velo]

The slow motion, action replays are particularly impressive.
Cavendish looks like a middle aged fat guy, but he speaks v good Spanish.

 

[trevim]

Wow, Hushovd's best finish since the 2011 TdF pretty much

He won in the Tour of Britain that year. Still nice to see him back.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

After a steady build to the mainstream, i'm intrigued to see what sort of coverage this gets - more or less guarenteed a side bar story on the BBC sport website, but may get a decent slot in the papers too.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

My nephew has lived and worked there for almost 20 years.
Their economy is a complete disaster.
Massive inflation.
The only thing with growth are their vines.

I guess that was some time ago. their are many italians currently going to argentina, because it's not a mass, but italy is. inflation is also bad in europe.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

where there echelons? I couldn't see the final part of the stage. how big was the group?

 

[Ruudz0r]

big as far as i could see, guess just a few guys that were not in the peleton.

Wow, Hushovd's best finish since the 2011 TdF pretty much

Let's not forget that he was 6th on a Giro stage and 5th in a P-N stage last year!

But seriously, encouraging to see that he has some form at least. In his last race last year, Tour of Poland, he couldn't even keep up with the peloton on the flat, so this is seemingly a great improvement. I expect him to suck on the hilly stages though, as Hushovd, even when healthy, always has been horrible in his first race of the season.
