How did JRod miss the break with Bertie?

Unknown at this point as the viewers were late to the party.

 

[Cimber]

If Tira can hang on he gets the stage

 

[Miburo]

Flo has fainted.

Did someone already mention he's a legend?

Well w/e HE'S A LEGEND !!!

 

[Publicus]

How did JRod miss the break with Bertie?

We don't know. The ticker basically just notes that he attacked and bridged up to his teammate.

 

[vcampbell]

Always liked Tiralongo, but now I love him!

 

[T-Nielsen]

How did JRod miss the break with Bertie?

A combination of legs and pain.

How did JRod miss the break with Bertie?

Contador dropped him on the 2nd cat climb, joined up with his teammates on the descent and hasn't looked back since.

Velasco riding Cancellara style Tiralongo and Contador are just warming up for the Duo Normand.
Pires and Hernandez messing with the chase.

 

[Cimber]

The saxo boys with Purito gotta be enjoying this

 

[Publicus]

1'41. At some point Purito is going to have to jump.

 

[Bumeington]

How did JRod miss the break with Bertie?

Nobody knows. Least of all the Eurosport commentators

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Purito must push!

 

[therhodeo]

Always liked Tiralongo, but now I love him!

This x 10000000

 

[Descender]

Remember that quiet afternoon in May, Paolo? Remember how I turned my head back, how I whispered you in the ear "vai, Paolo, you go, my friend!".

Remember Paolo??

REMEMBER???

 

[Cimber]

A combination of legs and pain.

And maybe he felt that it was to early (i.e. that they could pull it back easily)

 

[vcampbell]

1.40 min

Flo has fainted.

Did someone already mention he's a legend?

Well w/e HE'S A LEGEND !!!

It was mentioned, but not enough time

 

[skidmark]

If Alpe D'Huez last year didn't seal the deal, I think today even the most ardent cynic has to be a Contador fan.

 

[No_Balls]

This is stuff for legend! The great one! The great one!

 

[therhodeo]

France was definitely the 3rd best GT of 2012. This cements that.

 

[MartinGT]

I bet the Tennis has bloody ruined this on Eurosport hasnt it?

 

[Miburo]

1'41. At some point Purito is going to have to jump.

I don't get it, he needs to take responsibility. Come on man.

Almost 2 minutes !!!
