Tour of the Basque Country 2012

[Libertine Seguros]

Yeah because it's really interesting to see a one trick pony like Rodriguez winning all the time

More interesting than watching a group ride to a bunch of sprints before Martin wins it in a TT.

 

[TomasC]

Kiserlovsky hanging there quite well.

 

[Fetisoff]

Kiserlovski still there

P.S. Fun sprint

 

[Havetts]

Lol, Purito killed Samu by being the first through the rondabout. O_O

 

[jsem94]

Samu looks good for overall

 

[hrotha]

Aww, smaller gaps than I thought. But it could be enough for Samu.

 

[Fetisoff]

Yeah because it's really interesting to see a one trick pony like Rodriguez winning all the time

This route is pretty balanced. Why complain?

Yeah, kinda like it was interesting watching a one trick pony take all the ardennes classics last year

No, about as dull actually.

Samu clearly didn't try, a gentlemen's agreement

 

[Gloin22]

No, about as dull actually.

Seriously

 

[lukinox]

Martin is still going to win, with the TT in his favour

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Well, Kiserlovski and the weather meant they couldn't just group ride to the hill at 4 to go, which meant we had a reduced bunch and the pressure was on the heavier guys like Martin.

Credit to Robert and to meteorology for potentially saving this race.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Martin is still going to win, with the TT in his favour

the itt. is so technical and with the rain I don't see martin win

 

[Libertine Seguros]

No, about as dull actually.

My, you get cranky when Gilbert's out of form. Is it exciting watching him win every single race when he's in superhuman form?

I'd rather watch Purito launch it on a stupidly steep section than San Sebastián last year, when everybody was defeated before they began.

 

[Havetts]

Martin +23.. mhm..

 

[Euskaltel!]

martin loses 23...

 

[insideout leadout]

SS got 47 on Martin.

 

[goggalor]

Fun stage!

 

[BillytheKid]

Great race. Glad I tuned in. Sanchez for the GC. J-Rod has a chance of the podium. Horner 23 second adrift and off the podium.

 

[cineteq]

Martin is still going to win, with the TT in his favour

Hmmm. Martin +23 sec. today!

 

[hrotha]

Boy does Martin look silly now after his shenanigans early in the climb.
