1. Cav It'll be panflat so his 'lack' of condition won't be too important

What are you talking about? They have to go up the terrifying Montefiore Hill.

 

[Tuarts]

Griepl to finally get a win followed by Goss and Farrar

 

[Cobblestoned]

As a rider I wouldn't get up for 90km but I think as a fan I will stay up for this one tonight.

Damn Greipel, do it or they will bash you like Cavendish.

Greiple
Goss
McEwen

 

[sublimit]

I'm going out on limb and go with Goss.

Goss
Greiple
Roelandts

I would personally like to see Swift or Matthews get it but i dont know, it could be difficult.
Looks like Aussie radio coverage again for me at 3 in the morning for a glorified crit..

I think there were more channels that might have live coverage so there might be a live stream from somewhere else in the world.

Looks like the most pointless KOM point.

Goss
Cavendish
Greipel

 

[Ferminal]

First time this week I will be cheering for Greipel so I feel a bit gulty, but who cares!

Go GORILLA!

 

[Roland Rat]

Has Armstrong gone home now?

Lance has left the building.

 

[Tuarts]

Just the lovefest dinner where he gave a speech.

Pity.

Goss for the stage win tomorrow.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Has Armstrong gone home now?

He will probably do another Tour just to **** some people off.
Look @30sec ! What do you think ? We all know our Lance and his smile very well.

Ok, just a joke, but I hope you are a little bit in panic now.

Not true - people round here will only bash Greipel like they bash Cac if he ever wins anything important.

 

[Ferminal]

Not true - people round here will only bash Greipel like they bash Cac if he ever wins anything important.

I'd say people bash Cac because he's an easy target (and so successful), or are we supposed to bash all successful sprinters by default?

 

[Cobblestoned]

Not true - people round here will only bash Greipel like they bash Cac if he ever wins anything important.

Sorry, I forgot that someone has to earn his bashing with palmares.
Lance was sooooo successfull.

Now everything is clear for me.
I hope Omerta-Greipel will be seriously bashed after San Remo.

 

[Ferminal]

I hope Omerta-Greipel will be seriously bashed after San Remo.

For finishing 7 minutes down?

 

[Cobblestoned]

For finishing 7 minutes down?

No. Because Greipel will do these tiny hills with one pedal stroke and than finish Cav off while showing the zipper.

 

[sublimit]

It will be funny if Lotto leave Greiple out of the M-S-R squad and go with Adam Blythe instead!.

 

[palmerq]

There's time bonuses un the tdu isnt there? Therefore htc have to give goss the chance to win so he will win the stage and maybe cavendish will get second. Greipel has a good chance of winning but I dont think he is very good and htc always win :S

I'm always a big fan of the Gorilla, and would still love to see him get up there tomorrow, but there's two things i think haven't helped his condition:

1 - the poor weather in europe has limited his training (he said as much)
2 - his race plan for the year now is surely aiming to peak in July. Last few years he pretty much knew he wasn't going to TdF, but he had a lot of early season races, so he prepared hard for those and won a lot. Last year he was in Aus for like, 3 weeks riding everyday hard to prepare for TdU. He didn't do that this year.

It's funny tho, Goss has filled Greipel's shoes very much the same way. Protected rider in TdU, in magic form, and winning heaps. Heh heh, was good to see Cav on the front the other day tho

Anyways, i hope Meyer gets the overall, wicked to see a non-sprinter take this race if it can be done.

 

[sublimit]

The Gorrila is capaple of getting M-S-R, but the Omerta-lotto team (Thanks to cobblestoned for that) are missing from the Oman and Qatar races, Oman looks tough but would be a good build up.

Maybe he has more to come like Cav certainly has.

 

[jens_attacks]

ok so tomorrow just 90 km.it will be more like who's the fastest not the strongest.that's why i will go for the win with tyler farrar.meyer really needs his help,of couse he's not on form yet but for just 90 km he can do it.
