Working or attacking?

I think he was working for Steven cause after taking in the lead group he dropped .. but so did Kruijswijk but they are both back in the group now.

The whole race has been a damp squib.

I have enjoyed it. Genuine racing. Real surprises.

 

[Escarabajo]

Bad luck Damiano Cunego!!!

 

[Zam_Olyas]

opqs could do a double.

edit: they didn't.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

simon straight to the podium

 

[roundabout]

Nice one, Simon.

 

[Escarabajo]

Uran almost had it again!!

Good job Simon.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

All group sprints. Reminds me of Catalunya '10

 

[hrotha]

Lol at all the GC contenders having to get in the sprint because they're all tied.

 

[Cogombre]

That was a long sprint by Simon. It looked like he was about to explode at any moment.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

if not for albasini the fight to get a one second gap would be pretty interesting.

 

[Parrulo]

who won? did albasini get dropped?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

1 Albasini
2 Van den Broeck
3 D Martin
4 Sanchez
5 Uran

Morabito appearently dropped

 

[Gloin22]

If Uran doesnt get 2nd in GC it will be such a farce ...

 

[wirral]

1 Albasini
2 Van den Broeck
3 D Martin
4 Sanchez
5 Uran

Morabito appearently dropped

Looks that way, no confirmation though.

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I thought uran was 2nd? must have seen it wrong.

edit; gc right

bedtime i think

 

[Frosty]

If Uran doesnt get 2nd in GC it will be such a farce ...

Yeah, shame that stage wins cant be counted ahead of the sum of their positions or whatever they are using.

88th on stage 1 may have screwed him unless he can get that vital 1 sec.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Yeah, shame that stage wins cant be counted ahead of the sum of their positions or whatever they are using.

indeed. ridiculous rule. from tomorrow on bigger sprints though and uran can do top 3 in massprints. so some chance

 

[maltiv]

Tomorrow will be the most dangerous bunch sprint in history. A whole group of climbers will have to try to position themselves in the sprint so they gain in the position ranking. It won't be pretty...
