Incredible 
Indeed.
Not that it makes so much interest, but the dialogues are :
"Probably J. Durand : And he's gone again now ?
Not sure which one of the French staff : Yeah, yeah, he's gone again.
*laughters*
J. Durand : And he's changed his bike, there ?
Guy on the right : yes.
J. Durand : Erm, I'm not sure I've seen it.
Guy on the right : *laughs*
B. Bourreau : It's like that at the pros, uh." |

Team GB will be gutted that the Dutch pulled back after that acceleration. GB taking it up though. |

I've got a few quid on both Freire and Boonen at odds of around 22. And Sean Kelly predicts a bunch sprint of 30 riders. Which means it'll probably be a bunch sprint of around 30 riders. Looking good 
But if those two should fail, a rainbow jersey would really suit Valverde

Zzzz... we need a new random element in cycling, like sudden snipers or something.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

It looked just like any quality cross exchange...
BTW, just woke up, and it doesn't seem like anything interesting has happen so far, is that correct?

Which makes sense, since he's a crosser

Wow, this is a snooze fest...hopefully this break gets a big gap, then the chase will have to start earlier...
It is funny to see Cavendish on the front. I'm trying to figure out what the US is trying to do throwing Howes and Duggan in the break. Howes is Howes...he's probably the worst rider on the team. My guess is Duggan is up there so that they can send TJ or Horner across when things start getting interesting. Shows you our quality, if we're planning on going from 60km out because that's our best chance. |

The gap was out around 5'30" earlier and has been slowly coming down so I don't see that happening.

What's so snooze fest about it? Not even Mendrisio 2009 kicked off this early, if memory serves me right.

I think it is just that the coverage has been on so long already that it seems like something should have happened. |
