    Hushovd seems way off the pace.

    Why isn't he there?

    I assume my PTP GC pick, Peraud is in that front group?




    Eh?



    Oh.

    Eurosport just shown an interview with LL from this morning saying that Tony Martin is the leader for OPQ and they're all riding for him. Presumably LL, Boonen and Chavenel will all be trying to break things up and slow the break away down then ;)

    before they got to it I was saying "Go on Wiggo, give it a go, could do with a laugh!" Bambi on ice indeed :lol:

    With a TT like that I think Lefevre probably made him do an hour of power at 3am this morning as punishment.

    Oh.

    You should've stuck with your first choice and gone with LLS.





    Oh, wait...




    Never mind :wink:

    Was the interview given before or after Martin wrecked my PTP for the 1st stage?

    Alright guys.

    Who's for the win?

    Boonen on Denkolb?

    Headwind finish. No doubt Boonen will start too early.

    Kelly on Boonen "he didn't not look too comfortable"

    What!?

    Yeah, at least I was right about LLS' general crapness I suppose. Clearly the bludwurst doesn't suit him like Spanish beef does.

    Degenkolb looked like a fat lump back at the car. Boonen for me.

    Boonen looks like he's doing a lot of work.

    Working for Leipheimer?

    Makes sense.

    I reckon Phinney, with an attack under the flamme rouge.

    It was gazelle-like. We've established that already.

    Oh look 20km, Boonen will be looking to start his sprint soon ;-)

    Rabo getting a school 101 lesson in not missing the split.

    Easily 5 of them drilling it on the front of the chasing peloton.

    They're Dutch. They should know about this.

    Its 10,6 and 4.


    Time bonuses are only applied to the general individual classification and are assigned according to online article 2.6.018 of UCI regulations.

    The allocation are as follows:

    to each of the intermediate sprints: 3", 2" and 1" to the first 3 riders
    for stage wins: 10", 6" and 4" for the top 3 finishers.
