[Parrulo]

great win for martin

 

[brilleaben]

Just ride the Giro Purito, ffs.

 

[spalco]

Excellent win for Martin, hard ride.

 

[jaylew]

Belgium wins!

 

[Afrank]

Wiggins a 1:01 back.

 

[Ferminal]

Don't see them coming across in ones and twos much these days... Martin's ride will go down as one of the best of 2013. Katusha messed up thinking that Sky had it under control.

 

[Publicus]

Great win for Dan Martin and Garmin!

 

[woodburn]

Looked like Stetina and another Garmin in the Wiggins group.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Dan Martin flying up...but for how long? He's always cracked at some point if memory serves.

Rewrite your memory!

 

[wwabbit]

Wiggins must be thinking it's a good thing he's not going to the Tour...

 

[Tricky Hawes]

Belgium wins!

Great win for Birmingham, you mean

Good ride by Quintana, but after all the hype here in the forum, I would've expected more.

This. Katusha were pathetic today.

A 23 year old finishing alongside a top3 climber, what more do you want?

The hype is not that he's the best in the world, rather he's a young and relatively unproven talent who will take any opportunity to show that he's almost matching the top guys.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

What a ride from Martin!

 

[pastronef]

Garmin with 3 men in the stage top10

 

[webvan]

Looked like Stetina and another Garmin in the Wiggins group.

Tom Danielson

 

[Tricky Hawes]

Wiggins must be thinking it's a good thing he's not going to the Tour...

Except he is?

 

[jaylew]

Danielson super strong in his 1st race back suspension He was with Wiggo.

This and the error of letting Dan Martin into the break (that can't be stressed enough), though I guess that latter point is an error on Movistar's part.

 

[spalco]

Is the GC known yet?

 

[The Blues]

Bloody strong, Garmin!

 

[JimPanzen]

A 23 year old finishing alongside a top3 climber, what more do you want?

I do not want more, I think he did great...but some guys here acted like he's going to destroy everthing.

 

[Afrank]

A 23 year old finishing alongside a top3 climber, what more do you want?

Plus he initiated the original attack. He's easily living up to his hype.

Congrats to M.A.R.T.I.N. - very Classy win indeed.

Q.U.I.N.T.A.N.A. & P.U.R.I.T.O. should have taken off early, but they did really well. honor mentions to Gesink & VDB2 for the brave move.
