Tour of California Stage 4: Livermore - San Jose/Sierra Rd, 131.6 KM

[killswitch]

Never knew Hesjedal was such a good descender.

Or maybe Radioshack really are riding that slowly.

He is a former mountain biker.

 

[benpounder]

Andy Schleck is looking for the Di2 instruction manual.

Schlecklett has never had shifting problems...

 

[filipo]

Hesjedal should have pulled that move 10k up the hill. He'd have minutes by now.

 

[Califootman]

Andy Schleck has to try for a win on this day, no matter what form he's in.

gap is 30 sec...looks like are RS not that bothered about Ryder

 

[benpounder]

Hesjedal not looking as sharp...

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Smart move by Hesjedal. Martens is a good companion. They may have a shot to stay away until Sierra, though it won't be easy. RS has a lot of guys there.

So I'm not sure if I understood this correctly, but did Ryder Hesjedal finish 7th in last year's Tour de France?!

 

[benpounder]

based on the size of the peloton, either Hamilton was not that difficult, or everyone is waiting for Sierra Grade.

yeah and he dropped the #2

I believe he was in TOP 10, but 7th i m not sure

Rhetorical question?

 

[Gloin22]

Why does Martens have a SpiderTech helmet?

 

[benpounder]

Hesjedal needs Martens, but keeps on losing him on the descents...

I don't know. Try sending Phil a tweet, he'll know for sure.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I feel somewhat sorry for the RadioShack guys. Having to ride for someone as uninspiring as Bottle can't be much fun.

I hope Horner drops Levi.

Martens can't stay with Ryder around the sharp corners.

 

[Christian]

Rhetorical question?

Just joking, the commentators mentioned that about 10 times. Should have done a shot of maple sirup every time

 

[benpounder]

Getting another slice of homemade pizza, I noticed Bobke talking about TT helmuts on the network broadcast. Which is why I'm back at my computer...

 

[craig1985]

Martens was very lucky there.

 

[DenisMenchov]

#Martens fail
EDIT: #radioshackfail

 

[roundabout]

Figures...

 

[jobiwan]

Martens was very lucky there.

Yes indeed.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Peloton missing the same corner!!

 

[Moondance]

Paul Martens overcooks it...

then half of Radioshack overcooks it

 

[goggalor]

Haha, the Shack fail on the same corner. That was so predictable.
