Inbefore cmmentator talking about picture freeze

That's a ballsy move by Steensen but there's no way he stays away.

 

[just some guy]

early part of the climb an easy 10-11 %

 

[Escarabajo]

Nope: Ben's opening post:

Besides gradients double at +10,000 ft altitude.

yeah, wtf... it's only 2/3% there

 

[just some guy]

[Havetts]

Grischa and LTD together with Gesink, nice

 

[cineteq]

Who is this Heynow they keep mentioning?

I think is the guy from Gobernation de Antoikeyah...

They did actually say that? I thought it must have dreamt it. But it's the case that the climb gets worse later on? Steensen is going well for now.

 

[roundabout]

Looks like it's starting to get heavier for both Steensen and the field.

 

[luckyboy]

Well the Antioquia guys in the break were pretty useless tactics-wise then.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I am starting to fear we will get no images of the real fight, because of continious picture breakup

Couldnt Phill and Paul not get speech breakup

 

[patrick767]

The commentators just said that the guy who got hit on the face on the crash and was covered with blood, was Carlos Alzate. Wasn't he the one who tried to bridge the break afterwards? Can't be right..

Daniele Callegarin. 2 broken hands and facial trauma. Evac'ed to Denver.

 

[mewmewmew13]

just tuned in...who got airlifted to Denver?? I heard Paul say something but didn't get the name...



I would NOT want to be up on that pass in a lightning storm...it's really dangerous for the riders ...that sucks

 

[zapata]

In profile, Steensen sort of looks like Landis.

 

[mewmewmew13]

sorry, just saw previous post at same time...

what happened to Basso??

 

[Havetts]

In profile, Steensen sort of looks like Landis.

So I wasnt hte only one thinking this!

 

[luckyboy]

Haha ....

it's live on Eurosport now, if you have it...

 

[Jamsque]

The peloton is nearly on to the start of the properly climby bit of the climb. I want to see some reckless aggression.

 

[Kwibus]

Will anything happen at all?

The road looks flat as well :/

 

[canyonball]

Even if this stage fails on providing excitment, what a grueling journey for all those riders. Respect.

 

[luckyboy]

It looks the same as the long road they were on after the descent.
