Wow Echelons

You mean here, as in, 'in Cali'? Bos. One of the Haedo's I think. Boonen, if that counts.

Yah but Bos and Haussler are on the same team. Don't know who is suppossed to lead out who though come to think of it so good mention.

Boonen is just chillin' at the back after his crash the other day.

At that point in the stage the Giro had generated 50 pages. The ToC? 5.

Eurosport starts transmitting and the usual moron commentators waste no time in showing their intelligence. *cough*

This break has been gaining time all the way......... Well, actually they've been losing time most of the way, but they once gained!

The first stage Cervelo planned to go for Bos.
I still think they will intend to do that

Didn't you hear? It's the fourth Grand Tour.

Boonen looks bored.

Cross wind, a few people attack, and look at that Dave Z's team just turned into Jelly Beans and disappeared leaving Dave Z to do all the bridge work.. ohhh sigh.

I'd say Bos over Haussler in a pure sprint. And that's why I said 'if Boonen counts'. Don't expect him to have a go.

[Moose McKnuckles]

All back together.

 

[issoisso]

Let's put it this way. Other than the fleeting comment about the breakaway and a brief "Hello and welcome to the ToC", the commentators are yet to say any sentence that isn't discussing the Giro in depth.

Right now they're discussing the riders that Astana lost today. That's how interesting the ToC is.

 

[taiwan]

Sprinters here - Cav, Hunter, Sagan, Haussler. That it?

Theo Bos for Cervélo.

22KM to go, a break 1 minute out in front, and the peloton is sitting up and rolling piano at 22 mph for the past 10 minutes. This race sucks.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Sagan's not a sprinter. He has a good finish, but not good enough to take a field sprint from a normal-sized peloton.

I guess Sagan will be a lead-out for Chicchi.

 

[BikeCentric]

I guess Sagan will be a lead-out for Chicchi.

This race is so slow Pharmstrong himself is sitting up and posting on the board from his Blackberry within the peloton.

I would guess so.

Joke, yes, but Thijs Al - Dutch cyclocrosser and MTB'er - once twittered during a race, posting pictures of the lead group he was in and everything, until they all got lost and had to abandon

this is the first time in nearly 30 years that ive turned a bike race off with 20k to go, but i simply cannot watch any more of this tripe.. stick a fork in me.

 

[The Sheep]

Boom is trying out one of those motorized bikes?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Meh, it's not hard to get away from Vandewalle and those domestique guys
But the sprint trains will catch him probs

 

[issoisso]

Heh. The commentators said a couple (literally. two) sentences about the ToC.....then one of them said "Anyway....back to the Giro..."

And started talking about tomorrow's stage

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Britton is a class act wheelsucker

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Cervelo now. Cavendish vs Bos?

 

[santacruz]
