6th for quinziato, nice ride! First race for the team!

Seems like there are relatively long periods of very fine cobbles. That may effect who can win this and it explains why a guy like Flecha is leading.

nobody is actually watching!

Yes, and very very technical relative to its length.

That pseudo-roman amphitheater looks tacky.

Hey I am now

Go Pozzato!

Given the road bike basis, I'm expecting Cav to go very well - as one of the smaller sprinters, with by far the best road bike aero position during a sprint - obviously he won't assume that position, but I expect him to be smart enough to realise aerodynamics are still 80% of the problem, even if they're not on time trial bikes.

Grrrrr!

[Bromers]

Decent stream from sports-livez

Steegmans FTW

Some of the riders are taking pretty big risks there, riding extremely close to the barriers; the wind must be really annoying.

Eurosport 2 are going to very, very late. So no English commentary.
Stick with the feed link.

Exqi > Eurosport.

Hans de Clerq is a great co-commentator.
Or is it Museeuw? The both have horrible voices

 

[ingsve]

Hehe, riding on the white lines...how Roubaixesque.

It's more to do with the fact that there aren't any cobbles at the side of the road, I think.

 

[Bromers]

Renshaw only 4th!

Right, of course, I realised that myself after clicking "submit".

 

[auscyclefan94]

Sprinters starting to feature. My tip is Bos!

"Locomotive for Tom Boonen" is that suppose to mean the last leadout?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

No actually not. I considered it though. Instead I bet on Pozzato as the winner at odds 51

Yes.......

 

[Jeriko]

Any more feeds? Ch-2 and Ch-5 don't work for me. It's annoying to be missing this for some uni student games. 5 skiers left they just said. FFS.

 

[sublimit]

I'm going for Boom for the win.
