Re: Re:

Just looked on my Sky guide and Eurosport are utter prats.

Sunday daytime and on British Eurosport 1 is snooker from China and On channel 2 is British superbikes.

Biggest single day of racing in the year and we have to make do with 2 hours of delayed coverage at teatime. Bet it's so they can flog more Eurosport Player subscriptions. At least BBC are showing last two hours live on BBC 2 and probably the rest on website and red button

i'll watch it all on BBC Online; i'll take anything to get away from Carlton Kirby

That is a bonus though when Hugh Porter was still doing the BBC commentary and covered road cycling just once a year his cluelessness made Kirby seem like a demi god in comparison.

I will hope to get back early enough to grab some online coverage as well

Re:

How did they not respond to 4 swiss riders going away ?

People are starting to get tired - we are at 130 k distance now, which is long for U23 riders...... this is where the strong will start to make a difference, next time on the climb the big moves start to happen.

 

[slosada]

32 seconds now... Either they react now or game over

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Italians now with 4 guys at the front of the peloton, dropping the hammer on the break - gap is dropping fast.

Well, thats an impressive group. Padun, Powless and Hirschi were all amongst the favourites before. And Hirschi has 3 teammates to work.

Yeah, they have increased the gap.... meanwhile, Padun is attacking on the climb.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Padun caught again, 1 of the swiss dropped by his move.

If the american and dane start making moves also, they can whittle down the swiss like that.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Mäder is a fairly good descender, right?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

France now also investing in catching the break.

Re:

Yeah, one of the best, and a very good climber too.

 

[Rollthedice]

50 sec. and going up.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Gregaard looking like he is on a sunday joy ride, and constantly looking around.... I see him making a move soon.

 

[Rollthedice]

Padun looks good.

 

[DNP-Old]

Sosa dropped, this was coming. He has been awful after he suffered from stomach pains in l'Avenir.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Sosa dropped

 

[spalco]

I think this is the selection. Maybe somebody manages to jump over from the peloton, but the break looks strong.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Makes no sense the swiss guy is pulling Padun up the mountain

Re:

The best can easily make up a minute on the climb, especially at the end of the race, when people start to run out of juice..... this is far from over.

 

[Rollthedice]

What's left of the peloton at 30 sec.

 

[Gigs_98]

I don't get padun. The only thing he achieved was making a well collaborating 6 men group a 2 men group

 

[Alexandre B.]

Madouas disappointing.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Moves happening in the peloton now - and they are catching the break fast.

 

[Rollthedice]

Dunbar takes the initiative.

 

[Samamba]

Wth is Cras doing, just help Lambrecht ffs
