Shame andy isnt here to complain

There's brother Frank now.

 

[Trofinios]

What the hell has happened with Klodi? Not among the best at first chrono or finish, as far as I can see.

 

[jens_attacks]

[dlwssonic]

Frank's descending is really scary

[The Hitch]

Surprised it took that long until the first Andy-joke of the day in this thread

Its not my fault millions of fans around the world when they see a technical course immediately think of Andy.

 

[Fetisoff]

I think the conditions must have gotten more wet for the riders starting now, compared to the earlier ones.

 

[Havetts]

Schleck almost stood still in that corner

 

[dlwssonic]

tony martin is not great in rain. Just saying, he will still do well though.

 

[burning]

frank is extra careful on these corners

 

[jens_attacks]

here comes duo normand guys

 

[ingsve]

Anyone know of any live reposrting from U-23 RVV?

 

[Frosty]

Was that Monfort (number 6) already having caught his 2-minute man at half way?

yes, carrara caught even with 2 minutes deficit

Not at all. I would say something too, but I already had people complain yesterday over taking a poke at a rider (who's not taking part of this race), because of his exuberant fanboy's lame trolling attempts

At this point they're still minute men - Tony Martin the last to go at 1 minute intervals.

Edit:
Sorry to say it, but André Cardoso is truly awful in the Contre-le-Montre.

@liveciclismo giving a few occasional twitter updates.

@cnewton753 (giving a few about the Brits)

All I can find.

The Vacansoleil rider is 2 behind on GC so i think he would have started 2 minutes before?
