[Tuarts]

Majka goes!

Polish invasion in GTs continues

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Pretty sure I spotted Kruijswijk near the back.

 

[The Sheep]

no more Anton?

 

[jobiwan]

If they let Anton off the hook today, they'll regret it. JRod needs to attack eventually.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Anton dropped? didn't see him ?

 

[Havetts]

Mollema to blow **** up in a few minutes !

 

[luckyboy]

Was that Moncoutie at the back then? Or he is teh Cofidis guy up front?

 

[l.Harm]

Lol Rabo.

Doubt Anton is in trouble, he's done this before when he won a MTF.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Pretty sure I spotted Kruijswijk near the back.

Yup, labouring style, doesn't look good. But ok, still 9km to go, who knows he was just getting water

 

[trevim]

Maybe Contador will get his own Szmyd next year in Majka

 

[The Sheep]

Mollema to blow **** up in a few minutes !

Like the Alpe

 

[TRDean]

Any sightings of Geniez?

 

[auscyclefan94]

If Katusha or Liquigas don't lift the tempo and drop Anton they could be regretting it in 2.5 weeks time.

 

[LaFleur]

Was that Moncoutie at the back then? Or he is teh Cofidis guy up front?

Nope, Mate and Bagot.

 

[jobiwan]

Anton hanging on. The inaction is going to save him.

 

[Nielsa]

just as Belgian viewers want to hear about Belgian riders and Australian viewers want to hear about Australian riders. The only channel I think it is reasonable to expect any kind of impartiality from is Eurosport International.

Mostly I agree, but Sporza deserves credit for being impartial, to my ears at least. They rarely mention JVDB or Boonen or other Belgian riders unless they're in the camera.
I think it's because in Belgium, casual viewers are going to keep watching the race even if they don't hear about their riders all the time. Which is a valid concern for countries like Norway etc.

Liquigas!

 

[Havetts]

Surely something must happen soon...

 

[Lupetto]

Any sightings of Geniez?

I'm waiting for him to drop out of the race.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Leaky Gas starts the real battle

 

[jobiwan]

Finally, Leakygas makes the pace!

 

[roundabout]

Bout frickin time Leaky got on with it

 

[trevim]

Liquigas goes now, perhaps to eliminate Anton

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Mostly I agree, but Sporza deserves credit for being impartial, to my ears at least. They rarely mention JVDB or Boonen or other Belgian riders unless they're in the camera.

Liquigas!

they mostly are, although Vannieuwkerke is getting on my nerves sometimes...

 

[auscyclefan94]

It is starting to heat up!

the 2 paisan should let their men hammer it in the front
