Break at 8'20" with only 40km to go! What are Lotto playing at? Are they just not bothering to even try and bring it back today?
Yeah they've just let them go, nobody else interested in taking it up, so the break can go.
So much for Cav, Goss, Griepel and Sagan having a heads up sprint
I'm really surprised at this - they get a day off tomorrow! Lazy bastards. Slightly more annoyed about dropping Dumoulin now...
Yeah, very annoying, wish I hadn't bothered to bring in Griepel/Sagan now although I suspect Sagan at least will sprint for minor placings.
Very odd with a rest day tomorrow, I assume that Lotto were looking at Liquigas and Greenedge to chase it down and vice versa and by the time they got organised it was too late. Will be interesting to see the highlights.
The first 50-60km of this stage were really fast with loads of attacking. The sprinters teams are just too tired to chase down the break.
10 bloody minutes what the f@#k this is rubbish racing!!!!
Reminds me of the tour a few years ago when Armstrong used to just let breaks go and could control the peloton. It's only really in the HTC years that we've gotten so used to teams chasing down breaks in order to have a sprint finish.
I wonder if this is what we'll get more of when they scrap race radios?
This could be an all time low score for me
Wiggins - 10
Griepel - 4 + finish line
Sagan - 14 + finish line
Van Hummel - 0
Jeandesboz - 0
Vichot - 0
Simon - 0
Pinot - 0
Izagirre - 0
-20 penalty points.
Best case scenario is probably a Fedrigo win and a score of around 30 points
Gkam,
Next time you choose a Purist team, could you let me know who you pick?
Your abandon rate seems well above average....
I think the overall abandon rate has been high(carnage in week 1 plus upcoming Olympics.....never mind the tackattacks)but yeah.....Gkam can certainly pick 'em
your team is almost the same as mine! except i have boeckmans and impey instead of simon and jeandesboz
64 for me
Pyrenees and some proper racing next!
Finally, Kern not in last, he came in 3rd last
Vanotti your last man home today, 162 home yesterday, only 156 today
No really, 3 riders out of 9 from the start, 36 riders so far out of the tour.....could have been worse and I'm still keeping up there as the top premium purist
