Tour of Bejing (9th October - 13th October)

[ValleyFlowers]

At 15km to go the gap to the break is 1'12".

Pim Ligthart voted most aggressive rider for the stage.

 

[ValleyFlowers]

Gap has dropped quickly & vehicles moving out between break and peleton.
10km and probably under 30". A couple of riders in the break have sat up.

This Tour is awesome...you can watch it at work by keeping a browser window in the background, and giving it a look now and then...impossible to lose something, it's all the same greyness and nothing happens

Ahahah it's true, but without sound (at least in my case)

 

[ValleyFlowers]

EBH, Martin & Nochentini all paying attention at the front as the last of the break is swept up.
It's uphill to the finish as a couple attackers try jumping away.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Good move by Georges of AG2R, no Omega-Pharma riders left to protect Martin.

Should be fireworks on the last kick upto the line

 

[burning]

Anton goes

 

[Pricey_sky]

This a a good climb upto the finish!

Eddy goes too!

 

[ValleyFlowers]

EBH jumps and catches Anton. And blasts past him.

 

[burning]

EBH outclimbing Anton

 

[Pippo_San]

EBH like a boss

 

[ValleyFlowers]

2km and it looks like that was the winning move.

Yup he's gone. Good win Eddie

 

[ValleyFlowers]

1km and that's a useful gap time wise.

 

[Pippo_San]

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT....EDDIEEEEEEE WHAT DID YOU DOOOOOOOOOO

PIPPED ON THE LINE!!!

 

[ValleyFlowers]

It's going to be close.

"EBH learnt so much in his 18 month at Sky" yeah?

 

[Pricey_sky]

What an incredible finish, Eddy blows up in the final 100m and gets caught with 5 metres to go!

 

[bangnz]

Wow i thought he had that

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Viva Italia!

Stage 1 - Italian 1st
Stage 2 - Italians 3,4 5th
Stage 3 - Italian 1st

 

[ValleyFlowers]

It was a good move by EBH but his engine throttled down the last 400m or so.

 

[Pippo_San]

Not even in a random Italian race there are so many Italians in the top 10
