I think you'll find that Bobridge is under orders NOT to work.

that is stupid imo.

No feed, just tv.

Ah crumb. Going through the Versus broadcast schedule now. Elk Fever is on, but they are showing two or three ours of the TDU tomorrow and Sunday. Between shows that I just... Yeah...

P.s.: Wouldn't mind seeing some Ballan tonight.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Group of 18 chasing...

 

[auscyclefan94]

Small gap...

that is stupid imo.

Out of interest, do you know how good of a sprinter Bobridge is? I'm just thinking IF (and a big 'if') they stay away, he would be the best finisher of the three.

13s counted visually - looks like 20 riders. No idea if Meyer is there let alone Goss, Greipel etc.

Craig - Bobridge will just smoke them both in the last km (a la ENECO).

 

[Bailey]

15 seconds to the chase group of 15-20.

 

[auscyclefan94]

the gap is 10 seconds...no way are they staying away...

 

[ingsve]

Samller group than I thought it would be. Might get bigger before the finish though.

 

[Ferminal]

Greipel and Davis confirmed in the group, not sure about Goss.

 

[craig1985]

Roulston is going downhill like a madman.

 

[Bailey]

Greipel and Allan Davis are back in the 3rd group.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Greipel and Davis confirmed in the group, not sure about Goss.

Greipel group is 35 seconds behind...

 

[ingsve]

Greipel and Davis confirmed in the group, not sure about Goss.

They are in another group 22 seconds behind the "peloton"

 

[craig1985]

All over redrover.

 

[Ferminal]

Compacto...

 

[ingsve]

What riders are in the chase group anyone with a TV that can see?

 

[Bailey]

Goss will take this.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Goss in lead group, expect late attack from Ballan....

 

[craig1985]

Would that Movistar rider be Rojas?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Go Ballan!!!!!!

 

[Bailey]

Rogers, Porte, Goss, Bobridge working hard at the front of a group of 20. Gerrans now back at the front and driving hard.

 

[Ferminal]

So it's Goss v Meyer, that's it.

 

[Anonymous]

so a load of the sprinters have succesfully dropped the peloton over the hill

 

[craig1985]

Bobridge and a Movistar guy down.
