Tour de Suisse 2012: Stage 3; Martigny → Aarberg (195km)

[Magnus]

Commisaires caught napping there. They should have stopped the peloton as a group

As they tried to do.

and also brought the break to a halt for the duration.

No. They had more than thirty seconds.

 

[BillytheKid]

Costa telling them to ride! Valverde disagreeing.

 

[shalgo]

Movistar group ordered to wait and Costa refusing? Looks like he wants to get DQ'd.

Costa telling them to ride! Valverde disagreeing.

You got that wrong.

 

[Animal]

The break should be stopped for the duration if they have mode than 30 seconds.

If they have only a small gap, then leave them to it.

The rules are ****ed up.

 

[webvan]

Oh, need to take a look at that, funny!

 

[karlboss]

break gained 1:30 from the train,

 

[DominicDecoco]

Just tuned in. Could someone make a status? Have a bit of difficulties getting an overview of the situation on the french stream. All I hear is Baguette, baguette, baguette

 

[Mellow Velo]

Guess we know who will be bottom of the team fair play classification.

 

[shalgo]

Or maybe Costa was just riding ahead to take a nature break.

Have mode?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

In fairness, that unscheduled break could be what actually makes this stage fun. Giving the break a free ninety seconds is a brilliant idea!

 

[tomorrow]

8:30 for the peloton, it is doable, especially when there are hills, but it will have to be crazy tempo

 

[cineteq]

What great sportsmen those spaniards are

Suspension in the horizon for Bavarian...

 

[Pippo_San]

The rules are ****ed up.

Not only the rules...also the organization. Come on we're in 2012 FFS...**** like this should be avoided at all costs when defining the course...

 

[Mellow Velo]

That Costa packet, if the break now sticks. No wonder Pitistar were p*ssed.

 

[BillytheKid]

You got that wrong.

Yes, the Peloton was coming up anyway. Thought it was Valverde raising his arm. Costa waving them forward. Old news now.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Swiss train v UK Postal train!

 

[Bavarianrider]

Suspension in the horizon for Bavarian...

So Moviestar isn't a spanish team?
Getting banned for speaking out the truth.?
The Greenedge Aussie boys showed the same attitute unfortunately, by the way.

 

[max_powers]

The finishing stretch looks kinda tricky

 

[taiwan]

What great sportsmen those spaniards are

Nationalistic bullsh!t. One of the worst things about cycling talk.

 

[roundabout]

Nationalistic bullsh!t. One of the worst things about cycling talk.

you are right, he should have just called them vomistar

 

[Bavarianrider]

Yeah blame it on the messanger. Not on the ones who displayed a disgraceful piece of unsportsmanship

 

[Lexman]

i have seen it happen some times before

Remember Paris Roubaix were Hoste and other passed the railtrack although the red light was on, they were all Dq'd afterwards
