Tour of Britain 2014 - 07/09 - 14/09 (2.HC)

[Pricey_sky]

And no radios.
And races that aren't very important.

Etc.

Tour of Britain Not important?! What are you on?

 

[Pricey_sky]

Peleton looks knakered, break look knakered, this is great racing. Kwiatkowski now has gone on he front.

Hope Dowsett can make it.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Is that Visconti spoiling the chase in 4th slot?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The race leader trying to defend, just how it should be.

Now we need an attack from Sir Wiggo, about 1-2 km to go.

 

[cineteq]

Dowset to let the other 2 contest sprint?

 

[Pricey_sky]

Brandle again, Dowsett gets 6 seconds bonus.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Beautiful sight in Hemel Hempstead of all places!

 

[Pricey_sky]

Dowsett in yellow! About 33 seconds lead by the look of it.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Great stage.
Dowsett knows how to race.

 

[willbick]

Dowsett 37 secs in front i think

Great to finally see a proper GC contest in ToB

 

[dicanio_michael]

Kwaitkowski will have to sprint tmr

Happy for Dowsett, hopefully he can hang on in tomorrow's stage and the time trial will help him on saturday

 

[Tournesol]

Spectacular racing,one of the stages of the year.

Happy for Dowsett, hopefully he can hang on in tomorrow's stage and the time trial will help him on saturday

Tomorrow could be epic. Interesting wiggo didnt pull on the chase. Maybe he wanted Dowsett to take the yellow

 

[willbick]

Tomorrow could be epic

Interesting Sir Wiggo didnt pull on the chase. Wanted Dowsett to win?

Quote of the day: "Riders did not make their calculation"

Eurosport starting to tease their own commentators

 

[Pharazon]

well Hugh Porter changed how he pronounced Brandle today, and still got it f**king wrong

 

[Catwhoorg]

That's great for Dowsett.

He is more than 'just' a TT'er, but people often overlook that.

Can you name a rider who is 'just' a TTer?

 

[Bushman]

Can you name a rider who is 'just' a TTer?

Rasmus Quaade. Not anymore though.

 

[Ricco']

Can you name a rider who is 'just' a TTer?

I remember Grabsch as a TTer only type of rider, could pull some efforts out of breakways due to his ability in the flat but not much more.

From the present, at a lower level, maybe Rasmus Quaade who has shown some very good remarks in TTs but in road racing not much (a tendency which I hope may be changed with the recent result in Giro della Regione Friuli).

 

[JRanton]

A good day for the no radios/smaller teams brigade.

 

[Puzzilan]

What a great race this year, ToB has come of age. Looking forward to seeing it in London on Sunday.

 

[roundabout]

Full gas tomorrow on the last 2 climbs hopefully. Looked over with yesterdays GC.
