Wtf are Radio Shack doing?
No point in flogging this dead horse.

I'd pay good money to see Freire win in a solo breakaway.

+1 ........

Wtf are Radio Shack doing?

Killing Freire's chances.

I hope Horner and Leipheimer flat and lose 5 minutes

 

[insideout leadout]

Hope Oscar can pull this off.

 

[GoAndyGo]

Sitting here wondering to myself why Ben King is on the front killing himself to pull back Freire.

 

[jobiwan]

Come on Oscar!!

1.25 with 10km to go. No hills left?

I still see 1 bump on the Amgen Tourtracker map

 

[Highlander]

I'm curious, does anyone know if Freire has ever won a race from a breakaway like he is trying to do today?

 

[zapata]

Come on, Oscar.

 

[insideout leadout]

Freire will do a Bart!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Freire is losing too much time now, 10 seconds per km, 7km left = 70 seconds...

he has 1'05

Must be a deal with the Leakyguys. 'You'll help us now, we'll help you later'

 

[zapata]

He won't make it, of course. Would have been glorious.

 

[goggalor]

Someone needs to tell Freire to VENGA VENGA VENGA!!!!!

 

[kanari]

Here comes the HTC train....

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I hope HTC and Liquigas burn in hell and that their sprinters crash

If he holds on for the win it will probably remind Phil Widget of the time Lance.....................

 

[insideout leadout]

Bmc down!!

 

[goggalor]

Here comes the HTC train....

As if they weren't disliked enough... Freire will be caught.

Peloton splitting up a bit now.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I'm curious, does anyone know if Freire has ever won a race from a breakaway like he is trying to do today?

Yes, he has won multiple times from long breakaways. One very famous one in suisse even where he took the other side of the road to accelerate from the rest

 

[Highlander]

Crash at the back of the field. It won't help Freire at all, so too bad for him.

 

[insideout leadout]

Is Armstrong in the Radio Shack car? Maybe he has an old beef with Oscar.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Here's hoping that HTC and Liquigas fail hard
