USAPCC Stage 2: Gunnison to Aspen 209.8km (24/8)

[just some guy]

On the way home should make it for the 1st climb.

Keep me/us updated please. On my phone no tracker

 

[jobiwan]

Continental teams trying to get away. A two man move was caught.

 

[Havetts]

Rujano in the "break"? Lmao, theres such a small guy in there!

 

[Havetts]

Voigt trying to get in the breakaway.

 

[Havetts]

Damn dinner when one of the most interesting parts is happening!

 

[jobiwan]

Looks like an Exergy rider along with a couple others with a slight gap.

 

[jobiwan]

It's the Conti teams that are bringing all these moves back. Trying to get their own men there.

 

[jobiwan]

Dan Lloyd and a Leakygas off the front now.

 

[jobiwan]

Seems like it will be all together for the intermediate sprint, as probably planned.
After we should get a real breakaway.

 

[jobiwan]

Fast Freddy wins the intermediate!!

 

[Jamsque]

Fast Freddie won the intermediate sprint, still strange to see him racing again.

 

[Jamsque]

These two commentators are so much better than Phil and Paul that it's almost tragic.

 

[jobiwan]

Tracker's got some cool live power numbers for a few riders, including Sevilla and Rovny.

Haha. I was just thinking that.

A few months ago I read some interview with P&P and they were saying that they catch crap for their lame commentating, but they have to do it that way in order to "inform" those new to cycling. These 2 guys from VeloNews are far more informative.

 

[Jamsque]

Commentators talking up the crosswinds again, probably guaranteeing that there will be no echelons at all.

 

[fuggles]

Also, enjoy it while you can. You know that as soon as they begin to descend Cottonwood, Phil and Paul will take over.

 

[roundabout]

I am getting an interrupted coverage feeling

Strange but in a good way.

 

[jobiwan]

Some of the faces from the likes of Schleck and Van Garderen yesterday showed how tough that really was.

Much as I am loathe to defend them, I think they have a point. When I was a kid watching the Tour de France I really appreciated Phil and Paul's commentary because it taught me all the basics of the sport. As I've grown more knowledgeable and they've grown more senile I have lost my love for them but newcomers to the sport still like them.

To quote one of the race's founding fathers:
"They still have a lot to learn."
(about how to get reliable live pictures)

 

[jobiwan]

Race is still all together after almost 30 km

 

[Lupetto]

As soon as the last helper from Rabo swapped up, I said, ‘Andy if you can go now would be a good moment’, and I got a really angry hate look from him.

 

[jobiwan]

Group still all together on the way up to Taylor Park.
1000 feet climbed today so far.

 

[jobiwan]

Rumors that Lance might be at the finish today.
