Boy, this is an odd one. A loop from Davos, down a couple thousand meters, then slowly climbing back up to Davos. I dunno if it will separate out the field much, but it's bound to hurt. Enjoy! [Since you don't have to ride it.] [Except WillJ of course.]

Another great nite of racing
"the rest was over 30. And that doesn't mean old and useless, but experienced and with the stamina"
Jens! Voigt, Crit Intl Interview, 2009
tickers
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
stage start scheduled for 13.29 local
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Ticker with webcam is an interesting idea
But so far, we get either a shot of the back of the peloton, or a silver team car.

work in progress
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
so, it looks like there's a break with a 39 sec gap on a chaser, who has 13 secs on the peloton (total gap 52 secs?)
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
The green car and the picture with the green frame is just behind the break.
The yellow car and picture with yellow frame is just behind the peloton
The red car and picture with red frame is just behind the last car in the caravan.
That is how I read the information anyway, so no chasers.

the green car is the break
the yellow car is the chasers
the red car is the peloton
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
gap 39 secs from escapee to peloton (27 secs to chaser)
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
gap 2.20
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
oops, wrong thread... ignore that
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
took 'em a while... just like the cdl ticker
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
all in all, the webcam ticker ain't bad
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Pretty scenery from time to time.
Looking forward to seeing it on video.
I can't understand why people cheat--Mark Cavendish
break has 50 secs on the chase, peloton 1.48 back
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Another ticker goes live
at radsport-news. In German, but has actual words:
After 40 kilometers, two drivers currently at the top: Javier Armendia (EUS) and Josef Benetseder (VBG).The duo has just under 2 minutes ahead of the field. In between runs still Hervé Duclos-Lassalle (COF) as the sole pursuer. It is, however, only 20 seconds before the great throng.

what, you can't figure out the times from the webcam ticker?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Math? I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee.

"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Our Danish friends will be showing TdS
Beginning tomorrow. The broadcast starts at 17.00 CEST (except on sunday when it starts 16.25), and I assume TVU will help us watch.
Bork, bork, bork!
Very nice to hear. Their picture is much better than the Justin feed from the Basques.

Don't know
They will stream it on the site today, but I’m guessing it’s geo-restricted.

looks like duclos-lassalle is catching up to the break, only 34 secs back now... peloton at 2.28
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
or peloton is at 1.54, depending on which ticker you're following
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Now I can do math--probably the peloton is 1.54 behind Duclos-Lasalle
because if you add the gaps together, you get 2.28.

i hates when the tickers do that... at least the webcam one tallies it for ya
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind

Eisel should be DQ'd
I am disappointed that the Swiss, of all people, are not enforcing the rules of sprinting.
Indeed, Eisel started the sprint on one side and rode at an angle to the other side as if he would collide with Ciolek. This forced Ciolek to waste energy leaning back at Eisel just to hold his line rather than putting all his effort toward sprinting forward. Also, Oscar Friere just stuck in behind Ciolek as a result of Eisel illegal and dangerous squeeze play.
Shame of the TdS for allowing dangerous sprinting and setting a very dangerous precedent.

Yes, reported as such
but may be amended later on. Sporza was speculating that they heard someone say he was gapped.
how did they get so confused about it in the first place?

Thank God the Austrians can speak proper German
I could actually understand Eisel. And that was Ciolek, could tell by his style.
Ever listened to folks out west? Or the Viennese area around Kaisermuehlen?
Nearly inpenetrable.

Et tu Bazayev?
Looking around the webby at various team’s reports (those that have them) led me to this blurb:
Assan Bazayev did not start yesterday due to a team sanction.
That’s all it says. I have no idea what non-injury problem would cause a team to sanction a rider- to pull a rider from starting the second stage of a nine stage race. Well, obviously I do- and you are thinking the same thing. UCI is notifying teams about suspect riders, right?
Or maybe they have finally gotten sick of him wearing that ugly pajama style national jersey
and won’t let him race until after nats so he can’t wear it again.
I saw something somewhere
about him being sloppy with providing his exact location at all times.
"Where there’s a will, there’s a way.": Alberto Contador, shortly after waking up from brain surgery.
CQ tweeted about this yesterday
Whereabouts problem.
