If they keep the high pace to abort all breakaway attempts San Lorenzo can blow the race

 

[jens_attacks]

are we gonna have a breakaway today or not?lol.

 

[hrotha]

I imagine Nibali is just following wheels so he's not spending more energy than he would if he stayed back, but why doesn't he want a break to get away? Maybe he doesn't want more than 3 or 4 riders up the road?

They have their priorities wrong if they think of the team classification with Purito 4 seconds behind the leader. And you as well, I'm afraid

of course their priority must be on the general classification, but sending some guys like Ignatiev or Pozzato in the hunt on the flat doesn't hurt Rodriguez at all

Does it really matter whether Contador prepares or not? I thought the beach worked just fine.

 

[roundabout]

seems like a fun stage so far. too bad there's no coverage for a while.

It helps Liquigas. If Nibali goes beyond la Cobertoria with any teammate the race is his.

Nibali and Mosquera in a group of 24 ahead. Marking each other?

 

[Ferminal]

Moncoutie took the Cat 3, not that it is surprising.

Ten Dam abandons with a broken wrist

if we won't have a breakaway in 30 km from now,we won't have a breakaway at all.san lorenzo will destroy the peloton.

no, we'd have a one man breakaway which will be in front till the bottom of the last climb - including: Carlos Sastre

Yeah, I doubt a break will go unless Moncoutie is in it. Cofidis will drive hard for Moncoutie.

Edit, looks like one has got away. That helps Moncoutie too. No one there is a threat to him.

 

[roundabout]

we have a break

SANCHEZ GIL Luis Leon (058), PETERSON Thomas (106), MARZANO Marco (116), SPRICK Matthieu (048), LANGEVELD Sebastian (155), DYACHENKO Alexsandr (034), OROZ UGALDE Juan Jose (076), DE WEERT Kevin (143), TURPIN Ludovic (019), WILLEMS Frederik (129)

1.55 is the gap

~2 minutes for the break of 10 now. don't know who's in there except Luis Leon Sanchez

edit: ah, there it is, thanks

No way Nibali would let Moncoutie go, he is only 6 mins back.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I really don't get Langeveld.

Of all the stages, where in many, he stands a decent chance of winning in a break, he choses the stage where he is least likely to even stand a chance of winning, a though mountain stage

LLS is only 7 min back.

Eurosport says coverage will start at 1.45. Strange. I expect that to be delayed but who knows

 

[icefire]

They're ahead of the fastest schedule. No way we'll see the climb to San Lorenzo from the start unless they stop at the feed area.

 

[roundabout]

good to see katusha and saxo bank talk about attacking before the final climb. hopefully it won't be just words
