[TourOfSardinia]

LiqiGas dude could be SAGAN!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The Sagan monster no way

 

[Bala Verde]

27s.

Gilbert, Pozatto and LiQ dude

Sagan?

confirmed that it is sagan

 

[TourOfSardinia]

rain drops are falling ....

Gap 15 secs to Gilbert trio

 

[Zoncolan]

It is Sagan! Great trio. All have a decent kick.

 

[Bala Verde]

Will he be able to outsprint Gilbert and Pozatto?

 

[Beech Mtn]

I just tuned in. How big is the chase group 15secs back?

Edit - So the chase group is Sagan, Gilbert, Pozzato? I thought they were out front?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nope, we are getting a peloton sprint.

Group of 60/70 sprint

 

[Zoncolan]

Group of 60/70 sprint

It seems so

Congrats Germany on your 9 spots at the worlds

We'll have to do with 6 or 7 again. I'm sure Greipel or Ciolek will do a top 5 and no dutch rider will do a top 8

I think its like this
front 3 - 27s - gibert trio now caught by the peloton (drat)

That's what I am guessing. Seems almost impossible not to get a top 4 placing, unless they ride each other in the barriers.

Thanks - I think I'm finally figuring it out - at least before the race ends. Damn time difference - I tuned in too late.

 

[Bala Verde]

Pack complete with one escapee that just jumped away from the peloton.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

[Beech Mtn]

Lowik is the escapee

edit- and he's caught

"Hauptfeld"

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Lowik is the escapee

It was Offredo (Fdjeux)

Not Löwik. Löwik rides for Omega Pharma.
