Paris - Nice Stage 3 **SPOILER**
The stage is underway now, 201 from Contres to Limoges. Some hills towards the end but apparently they aren't too hard.
Word is that Contador is alright but with bruising you never know, you can lose some muscle function.
Finetto (LIQ), Mangel (SAU), De Kort (SKS) and Mouris (VAC) on the attack with a minute on the bunch.

The average speed in the second hour of the stage was 48.6 kph. The overall average speed is 47.9 kph.
Gap down to 2'-40", 114kms under the belt."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Wind direction today was forecast to be a NNE so that may account for the high speed. It's a shame there's not a sharp left turn 20 kms before the finish to cause havoc like yesterday. Hopefully the lumpy terrain before the finish will see the race lit up again.0

Columbia-HTC on the front now, presumably to set things up for big Greipel.
Video feeds should be up in 15 mins.0 -
Sorry, same silly question early in every thread - is there a (non-Cyclingnews) update site? Peut-etre quelquechose en francais? Would like to follow the action as I sit on endless conference call.When a cyclist has a disagreement with a car; it's not who's right, it's who's left.0

It may just come into play towards the end, which is where we'd want it.andyp wrote:Wind direction today was forecast to be a NNE so that may account for the high speed.

Touch and go, but there is an S Easterly turn or too."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Apparently it's much more sheltered with woodland on the way to the finish, plus the pace will be slower because of the hills.Blazing Saddles wrote:Touch and go, but there is an S Easterly turn or too.0 -

i was marginally shocked when i saw the bunch split either side of the reservation in the final KM."If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.

Not sure if that was Bertie, having seen it again....
French saying Fofonov
Street furniture awful, but not looking forwards was the problem.

your distracted looking sideways at the possible trains forming on the other side of the reservation
spatially acuity becomes an issue.. the mind can suffer target fixation and tunneling out"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.

Dan Martin almost brakes in time and then gets smashed into by an Astana rider.
Weird finish. LL "Dirty" Sanchez (another unpunished Puertisto) moves up into third thanks to time bonuses.
Sagan looks like the new EBH.0 -
That was a nasty looking crash that :shock:0

Today's surprise loser? Joost Posthuma, almost 7 minutes down.
Chris Horner, too. Must be hurtin' after yesterday.

"'Bout time too. The "old" one was never much good anyway........"
hmmm have I missed something? Is that the EBH described by so many in the sport as having almost limitless potential? Are you being ironic? Or possibly just a k**b.
Still good to see (on one of my increasingly infrequent visits here) you're keeping up standards.0
