The joys 👿 But i’m not working at the moment anyways. So whether or not I’d been ill, I’d still be here

70km to go, the gap rockets back up to over 3mins

The men in the break are still losing time. With 75k to go, the gap is 1:54

We have a correction.

We have a correction.
Amets Txurruka (Spa), Euskaltel-Euskadi is in the break. Farnese Vini-Selle Italia’s Luca Mazzanti is not.

The gap is declining steadily and is now down to 2:00 with 83k to go.

So coming down 20 seconds per KM

[Gkam84]

Ok, so your men in the break,
Ok, so your men in the break, with 2.20 of a gap and 84km to the finish are

Sandy Casar (Fra), FDJ-Big Mat
Ivan Santaromita (Ita), BMC Racing
Luca Mazzanti (Ita), Farnese Vini-Selle Italia
Lars Ytting Bak (Den), Lotto Belisol
Andrey Amador Bakkazakova (CRc), Movistar
Michal Golas (Pol), Omega Pharma-Quickstep,
Jan Bakelants (Bel), RadioShack-Nissan
Jackson Rodriguez (Ven), Androni Giocattoli
Martijn Keizer (Ned), Vacansoleil-DCM

They had 2.40 at 85km, So coming down quite quickly, I guess they are going uphill and the chasing pack are on a flatter part though.

I wish this tennis would hurry up and finish and that Cetkovska just gives up. Its over 6-0 5-1 your going to lose. Give it up 👿 👿

Anyone know the record amount
Anyone know the record amount of breaks, Either in stages or KM in a grand tour?

I know its a strange stat to ask for, but with Kaizer in the break AGAIN. I feel i’ve seen him there every day bar yesterday. He must be on some sort of break away bonus payment. Because if he’s strong enough to be there day in day out. Why not sit back in the pack and get a decent GC standing 😕

[Gkam84]

Martijn Kaizer has also made
Martijn Kaizer has also made the break and Jackson Rodriguez, So Androni have put someone up there to take points away from Golas

[Gkam84]

I think Androni are hanging
I think Androni are hanging back and working for Rujano to make sure he loses no more time, being 3.05 down already

Interesting that Gus Larrson is still only at 3.03

No-one was at fault for the crash bar the race organisers. They made the corner to tight, MASSIVE exit (plenty of room to drop you bike and slide) and then into a narrow exit. It was always going to happen.

I think it was Modolo who went down first, but it was just a case of riders going into a tight bend and their wheels going from underneath them rather than anyone causing a mass pile up

I think, but unsure, he got dropped on the final little climb when Visconti gave it beans and the speed ramped up

I took Demare out the other day, But i’ve been playing the tactic that the sprints are not worth transferring in guys for as the routes are shocking, another final corner crash because its FAR to narrow
