Go chris baldwin!!! :d

I'll second that sentiment!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Big Bert abandoned?

 

[El Oso]

Dan Martin is only 2:05 back in GC and Froome is only 2:53 behind in GC so the break won't be given much time.

Retirement Shack could have to do a lot of work today while Garmin sits back and recovers


Anybody know a time gap on the break, the Shack Tracker isn't showing one
EDIT: NM break caught

Given Horner's incredible form in the mountains it hardly matters.

ATOC twitter feed says break is now an 8-man ...includes Chris Baldwin, Tjallingi, Velits, Dan Martin, Jesse Anthony, KOM leader McCarty..., Froom

They just ID'd Friere, so he is still in the break.

It's one of the most talented collections of riders we've seen in a break for quite some time.

at the Laurales grade (2nd climb)the field was split. the htc guy was way off the back, at 8 miles! It will be a long day with big separations and dnfs.

If only Radioshack are chasing, then I don't think they'll be able to bring the breakaway back. Can't believe they let such a strong breakaway, which includes GC threats, go away.

 

[Christian]

Maybe Liquigas will help chase for Sagan

Seems like there is no end to his terrible season. I'm surprised, because he didn't look too bad in the other stages.

Estimated finish is between 3:13 and 3:45 PDT. But the live update commentary is saying they're currently faster than the fastest projected schedule

Lots of people abandoning. Surely this is more than enough proof that TOC is a tougher more grueling race than the giro . Ha ha

 

[Mellow Velo]

Tv on, but not for long, it seems.
35kms only.
Coverage this year isn't as extensive.
