Desperate for some live racing?
This is usually a good one for a Sunday afternoon.

As you can see, we have "live" providers.
2 years ago we had Pavel Brutt solo to victory........
......then deposit the contents of his stomach over the La Roche finish line.

Sorry, no profile, but it is an uphill drag finishing circuit.

Vacansoleil look very strong. Feillu ftw.

Same here. Maybe late if you are in France.......

Ah I see the start was delayed from 11:55 to 12:30 so maybe that has something to do with it

Certainly looks like it. Fingers crossed for something in 10-15 minutes.

[jens_attacks]

can be true the news arriving from vendee?

 

[Lupetto]

Complete result.

 

[canyonball]

Now that he won a race, he may have lost his charm. Not terrific competion, but a good result.

 

[CasperVg]

Huh? Interesting, it appears only 14 riders finished. All others apparently abandoned or finished hors delai. Nice win tho.

Yes, the curse has been lifted. Was there bad weather or could nobody be bothered to chase as all the big teams had at least one guy up the road?

 

[craig1985]

The weather looked sunny in the photo published on the front page, so with so many goes HD and had abandoned is weird.

 

[taiwan]

Excellent news.

Yeah, Marcato sold out

 

[Libertine Seguros]

2nd for Pello Bilbao is definitely promising, though.

[Michele]

Finally a victory for Marco!!

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay... does anyone know what happened? What was the time of those getting HDed, ie; what was the time-delay? Also, all those people DNFing, did they know they were gonna end up HDed anyway? Can't believe so many got injured or exhausted!
