Tour of California: Stage 2? Squaw Valley - Sacremento, 214 km

[hrotha]

Rabo fail.

Suddenly, Borrajo.
edit: "I never thought of Taylor as a sprinter!" Gawd.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Hushovd looked like someone who haven't raced for a while. Good positioning, no final kick.

 

[lanternrouge]

Swift by name

 

[Mellow Velo]

Phew. Thank goodness everybody got around safely and the rain more or less held off.
Swift
Sagan
Goss
As you would expect.

Timon Seubert is the only rider I could possibly cheer for today.

I've seen him in 3 televised races this year, he's been off the front in all of them.

 

[The Hitch]

Ive been watching ES 10 minutes and this is the first ive heard the color commentator. Kirby was talking nonestop.

 

[craig1985]

JJ was blocked. I demand everyone in front of him gets dqd.

Carlton doesnt realise that Arnies term is over.

I prefer Phil and Paul to Carlton Kirby.

 

[Midnightfright]

Swift by name

Great name for a sprinter isnt it.

 

[killswitch]

Bad positioning by Sagan.

 

[goggalor]

Thought the Spidertech rider was gonna take it for a while. He was flying when he jumped from Hushovds wheel, but faded a bit too soon.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Hushovd looked like someone who haven't raced for a while. Good positioning, no final kick.

Yep, he looked like he was going backwards in the last 50 meters in the overhead shot.

 

[hrotha]

Bad positioning by Sagan.

I disagree. His teammate left him exactly where he should, and he was firmly on Goss' wheel.

 

[Jamsque]

Lancombe kicked from MILES out and passed everyone, very impressive.

Everyone knows there is no sprinting in track!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Nice to see pretty big crowds. It looked like there was a decent atmosphere.

 

[craig1985]

I think it's great that some of the sprinters on the American domestic teams made the top 10.

 

[zapata]

Yep, he looked like he was going backwards in the last 50 meters in the overhead shot.

Looked like he was sitting down, even. Now, where was my pick, freire? Don't think I saw neither him nor matthews.

 

[Parrulo]

only watched the last 10k's

still great sprint by swift he seems to have a lot of potential

 

[killswitch]

I disagree. His teammate left him exactly where he should, and he was firmly on Goss' wheel.

Should have been on Swift's. Goss/Hushovd are off form.

 

[Bag_O_Wallet]

Wow, that was a great sprint. The Spidertech rider got a great jump but Swifty overhauled him.

Garmin losers of the day, they were completely outmatched by Sky, HTC, Saxo and Liquigas. The whole Sky team looks exhausted.

I nearly blew a gasket when Kevin launched... but well done by Swift.

 

[El Oso]

To be fair though the high mountains can be very dangerous when it storms. If the peloton would have gotten snowed in on Donner Summit they may have had to eat the weaker ones in order to survive.

That would have ended Schelck's Tour hopes

 

[Jamsque]

Wow this leader's jersey is **** ugly.

Totally agree. Nice to see the locals doing well.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

That's a big bottle of wine, don't count on Swift for tomorrows stage.
