If it walks like a sprint and it quacks like a sprint, can we call it a sprint? Here's the top ten fourteen on GC: lots of riders only seconds apart. Well anyone try any funny stuff to move up? My guess? Killer attacks Pietropolli.

Are you getting this from ES or RAI?
I haven’t tried RAI yet.
Just FYI I have no reason to doubt that RAI and Gazetta will eventually come on...
with way better video. They just hadn’t started when I made my thread.
anyone getting gazzettatv?

ha :) no doubt
but it’s nice to see him out there for a brief, shining moment…
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
good forestalling move
(I was searching, and wondering how badly I could violate live thread posting standards)
Why did you pick him?
Crashdan: "Veni Vidi Vici beats Wing Kong Exchange... … and I’ll change my signature to a backwards smile for a month."
Franzoi wins Parijs-Roubaix and I win a date with the VDS of Team Txirrindulariak..
because he's so tall...
seriously, he looks huge out there today. but he popped up in the TdU showing some early season form so i thought maybe he’d made good this year on his early career promise…
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
So do you also have Vansummeren.. That guy is like 2 m long..
Crashdan: "Veni Vidi Vici beats Wing Kong Exchange... … and I’ll change my signature to a backwards smile for a month."
Franzoi wins Parijs-Roubaix and I win a date with the VDS of Team Txirrindulariak..
lol.. tall.. long..
Patato patato

Franzoi wins Parijs-Roubaix and I win a date with the VDS of Team Txirrindulariak..
well, on the bike
i guess you can be tall and long… :)
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
lol!
i know – i almost picked him up, too. he’s even taller than Kaisen. as a tall rider i appreciate the particular challenges that can present.
on second thought, maybe i should have gone for another sprinter rather than a TTer, but i had some notion of balance in my head…

Does Lovkvist get the 'white' jersey?

Skill rides the Tour :)
No Barloworld… THAT… is bad.. Lost points on Soler

Commentators and Dutch media...

and Geraint Thomas
is proving to be a bad investment in more ways than one, poor lad…
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
Not a surprise with Dumas testing positive this year.
I think Barloworld’s hopes are centered on the Giro
A real waste of two points there
and in other Italian news, TAS have told RCS to let Fuji-Servetto ride the Milan San Remo. As they were already at the 25 team limit Vacansoleil have been given the boot.
Fuji-Servetto
Way ahead of Milram in the race to the bottom of this years Pro Tour standings. What a waste of starting positions.
Hey they have Cobo and de la Fuente.. That isn't a lack of quality
Crashdan: "Veni Vidi Vici beats Wing Kong Exchange... … and I’ll change my signature to a backwards smile for a month."
Franzoi wins Parijs-Roubaix and I win a date with the VDS of Team Txirrindulariak..
He's gonna ride the Giro I think so maybe he can take a top 5 postition there..
Btw.. Lance is riding the Giro on 90% of his capacity.. Wants to be fully prepared, in a good way!, on the 4th of july
Crashdan: "Veni Vidi Vici beats Wing Kong Exchange... … and I’ll change my signature to a backwards smile for a month."
Franzoi wins Parijs-Roubaix and I win a date with the VDS of Team Txirrindulariak..
So Astana's gonna use the centenary Giro as a training ride...
one more reason to love them.
Well, he's the defending TDF champion...
that’s an excuse in my book
Or to hate them...

lol! i caught that too
then one just said “back to reality” – ha!
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
no clue..
haha…ya they are funny to listen to because they dont sound like they should be announcers, most of the time they dont know where or who anybody is thats racing
one of them sounds like Prince Charles
i keep expecting him to break into commentary on the surrounding architecture…
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
ROFL!
what’s that? Conta-who? oh no no no, not possible. i say, chaps, tea?
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
cricket, indeed!
my ancestors would be ashamed of my dislike of that boring passtime…
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
restrained clapping...
and everyone crosses the other leg…
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
completely with you on that
Anyway, I suppose it’s good for letting the colonies work out some aggression on the English these days . . .
There are sprinters in this race?
Oh here’s to hoping Farrar can double up.
holy crap is that a garmin lead out train?
faints in shock
no, he was really the only one who even had a chance
he was right on cav’s wheel, but couldn’t go around
yes
i like the way he flies through like that, all that control. that’s what i liked about Farrar’s win the other day – total control and power, and he made it look smooth and natural…
You may very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
Cav way faster then everyone else on stage like this
Just spinning the pedals in the hills of Western Maryland
And yet
Farrar, a man whose name nobody would have mentioned before T-A, completely smoked him the other day, coming off his wheel. Amazing.

Nice! I'm in the coffee shop again with a slow wireless connection
that sprint was just hell to watch in start and stop mode.
He has no charisma--Thomas Dekker, on Cadel Evans
Any thoughts on Cav and Farrar's ability for Sat.?
Just spinning the pedals in the hills of Western Maryland
I'm really glad that Farrar was second
mostly so that we could hear the announcers say his name a few more times.
