KELDERMAN!!!!!!


The next Eddy Merckx!!!!!

At least GreenEdge is sort of willing to accept responsibility for the chase work... too little too late though. Should be interesting to see how Clarke handles the climb the last time up given that he's got to be getting pretty fatigued by now.

 

[auscyclefan94]

6 mins 10 seconds!

 

[auscyclefan94]

Clarke is really going backwards now.

 

[Ferminal]

Would be funny if he didn't make it, Jonker has been putting it on the line for half an hour.

 

[FujiAnton]

One men versus peloton, i think he will be caught, the pace is very hard.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Peloton really splitting up. 3 groups now.

 

[auscyclefan94]

All the sprinters are back @ 7 minutes.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Movistar & Rabobank chasing.

 

[auscyclefan94]

How bad will Kohler feel?

 

[Fetisoff]

All the sprinters are back @ 7 minutes.

Wonder if that includes the Bozic, Freire, Feillu and so on, or just the "top sprinters"

 

[Fetisoff]

How bad will Kohler feel?

Probably pretty ****ty, especially if he got caught in the peloton split (which wouldn't surprise me given the fatique factor)

 

[Ferminal]

Should be 10km to go for Clarke around now. Could easily lose 3minutes there. Would make Wilunga interesting.

 

[auscyclefan94]

5 mins 5 seconds, 10km to go.

 

[royalpig180]

Gap is dropping quicker and quicker!

 

[wirral]

5' 05" now. Classic hare and hounds stuff.

 

[Ferminal]

5 mins 5 seconds, 10km to go.

Doubt he will be in overall lead then, if they go crazy up the last climbs.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Is pat Jonker crying???

 

[auscyclefan94]

TDU twitter ticker is wrong guys. Ignore it!

 

[mewmewmew13]

Dam* I wish we could see this!!

the finish could be interesting if the usual sprinters can't make it up to the front....

 

[auscyclefan94]

A lapped rider!!!!!!!

[More Strides than Rides]

You can hear the crowds cheering on (almost) lapped riders rolling over the finish line

 

[auscyclefan94]

4 MINS 20 SECONDS.... The gap is tumbling.

A lapped rider!!!!!!!

#katushafail

wha???

he must want to crawl under something about now...

 

[Raceoftruth]

Think he may hold on, but was 1 40 oo griepel at the start of the day. Unlikely to take the race lead.
