it seems sky have missed out. thanks sublimit for the feed

 

[LukeSchmid]

who's the bmc rider?

I think they said Burghardt.

 

[taiwan]

no way to know who is in the first group?

Brown, Cancellara, Boonen, Benatti, Haussler, Renshaw, O'Grady, Maes, Vansummeren, Flecha, Burghardt, Eisel, Steegmans, Hammond, Klier, Rasch, Rollin, Hunt...

That's 18.

I had Farrar in there, FFS.

 

[Ferminal]

Ok I think there's 4 Garmins but I really have no idea with these horrible clashes.

I see at least 2 sky riders there.

 

[sublimit]

Wiggins and Hunt are in there for Sky i think.

 

[auscyclefan94]

I think they said Burghardt.

thanks!

I see at least 2 sky riders there.

why was wiggins chasing then?

 

[LukeSchmid]

Steegmans as well?

 

[superconfex]

come on Tommy boon

 

[sublimit]

Wiggins probably looking to hurry them up, looks like are cruising and not going full bore yet.

 

[ingsve]

Wiggins and Hunt are in there for Sky i think.

Someone mentioned Flecha so it's possibly Flecha and Hunt.

 

[Ferminal]

Brown, Cancellara, Boonen, Benatti, Haussler, Renshaw, O'Grady, Maes, Vansummeren, Flecha, Burghardt, Eisel, Farrar...

Wrong race?

 

[LukeSchmid]

They seem to be showing 2 small groups, Boom and a lot of Katusha in the second.
Steegmans definitely in 1st group with Boonen

 

[search]

Steegmans as well?

yes, he won the second sprint according to Eurosport

 

[Teddler]

This is awful, Leopard, Garmin Cervelo and Sky look identical, good to see fat boy Aussie Brown in the breakaway

im pretty certain boom is in the peleton.

 

[Ferminal]

Oh Marc de Maar, go boy! Don't work for Boonen!

 

[auscyclefan94]

Renshaw streching on the bike! Hoping he can come up with the goods today!

 

[Teddler]

The lead has extended 30 seconds in last 4 kms

 

[ingsve]

Garmin: Haussler, Klier, Hammond, Van Summeren, Rasch
Sky: Hunt, Flecha
Quick Step: Boonen, Steegmans, Maes
BMC: Burghardt
Rabobank: Brown
HTC: Renshaw, Eisel
Leopard: O'Grady, Cancellara, Bennati
FDJ: Rollin

 

[auscyclefan94]

Garmin should send van summeren up the road imo!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Oh Marc de Maar, go boy! Don't work for Boonen!

here here !!

i tip renshaw.

Garmin should send van summeren up the road imo!

meh qst will be all over that.

1 man going up the rad in these conditions is almost impossible anyway

 

[adamski101]

Boom isn't in the break. Brown is only rabobank rider in.

Garmin are in best position I think, got 5 riders by looks of it.

 

[euanli]

Such a strange breakaway

 

[ingsve]

Seems like the old Cervelo guys have repeated what they did in 2009 in this race. Rasch, Haussler, Hammond and Klier were all part of the team that split the peloton in 2009 as well.
