Does anyone know anything about how this break formed? Just wind creating echelons and splits or an attack?

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

My money on Cervelo riding hard on the front in the wind.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Starting to get some passengers!

 

[Ferminal]

? Our Antillean friend is on Mallorca right now.

I heard him mentioned when I wasn't watching so assumed he was there

Looks like I should practice what I preach!

 

[Moondance]

A Boonen, Steegmans, Haussler podium (with Vansummeren in 4th) will make my CQ team VERY happy.

Shame Boom wasn't able to stay with the leaders, but that would've been too much to hope for, I guess.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Someone has to attack soon!

 

[taiwan]

Boonen
Haussler
Brown

Not having this Renshaw business, but good luck to him.

 

[search]

Someone has to attack soon!

the speed is incredibly high, will be very difficult to attack succesful

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Yeah the names generally sound like the strong men so thats quite likely

 

[Ferminal]

Haussler... small group means positioning shouldn't be a problem, he's the fastest there.

has anyone seen any life on the side of the roads today?

Plant or Animal?

Nope, what you have to understand about Qatar is that with a population of 1.5 million up to 75% are migrant workers from Africa and the Sub Continent, hence no one with spare time to go watch cycling.

[auscyclefan94]

Long sprint... Garmin should have done better.
