[Rob5091]

Covi down!

 

[yaco]

Who is Jayco riding for? There is no-one that stands out as a big chance for victory in this race.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

M. Pedersen is on the attack!

Spoiler: DON'T LOOK!

The Lidl brother.

I looked, didn't know Mads had a younger brother who also rides. Cool!

People never listen...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Split on the descent, hard to see who though

 

[Netserk]

It has split up on the descent before the last climb. A Trek rider pushes on.

 

[pastronef]

who's the Spanish guy commentating in English?

 

[Netserk]

Bahrain, Movistar, Tudor, Polti, Trek, FdJ, UAE present in the group.

The Trek rider has a gap now.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Wonder if the Lidl guy is Söderqvist?

 

[Netserk]

The Bahrain? and UAE? riders bridged across.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wonderful action shots of the finish line

 

[Netserk]

Jayco leads the peloton on the climb.

 

[Netserk]

Christen leads with a Chinastan rider and a Tudor rider with him.

EDIT: Buitrago is ahead of them.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Christen attacks with an Astana and Hirschi following

 

[Netserk]

Buitrago

Scaroni

Christen
Hirschi

EDIT: All 4 together.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Scaroni is flying but I think Hirschi might be playing them trying to bait them into doing the work.

 

[Netserk]

Christen insists and drops Hirschi. Scaroni counters as Hirschi comes back again.

 

[Netserk]

After some drunken boxing, Buitrago is now the one dropped.

 

[RedheadDane]

After some drunken boxing, Buitrago is now the one dropped.

Really should stick to cycling...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Christen looks the strongest, but he hasn't broken them yet.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Buitrago dropped but he's better than these guys at pacing, Christen looks really strong but he's attacked repeatedly.

 

[Rob5091]

Christen looks full of pep. Hirschi just going along - smart!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Wonderful action shots of the finish line

That just went on forever didn't it? I began to wonder if we'd get to watch the finish line while the riders are still on the road for another 10km.

 

[Tim Cahill]

This is a great battle, I suspected Astana would be flying at the start of the season.

 

[Netserk]

An Ag2r rider is with Buitrago.
