Yesterday was Aalten-Ardooie, today Ardooie-Brussel...does anyone else think these look less like stages and more like encyclopedia headings?
For video links, try cyclingfans or myp2p, or check the thread below. UPDATE: Live now (and free!) on cycling.tv--I recommend Google Chrome (just got endless buffering when I tried to load it on Firefox, but as always with the mysteries of the internet, your mileage may vary)
Lots of bergs pop up today:

Oude Kwaremont. Muur. Huh. Why do those sound familiar?

Five vluchters have 1:43 at the moment
They are Juan Jose Haedo (Team Saxo Bank), Mathew Hayman (Rabobank), Tanel Kangert (AG2R), Jeremy Roy (Française des Jeux), David Deroo (Skil-Shimano).

My intro. Wouldn´t ruin my work (:
Today stage 2 of the eneco Tour. After some American firework yesterday of Farrar we´ve got….. another sprint stage. How surprising. It´s b+loddy hot here so don´t expect to much action although there is a strom coming up with windspeeds of 110km/h. I have no clue where that is or where they are riding but let´s hope for some wind and with E. Dekker in the car that will be a nice stage… No?
Koldo Fernandez has dropped out.

In shame or is he injured...?

Thanks Majope/Frinking/whoever updates here :)
Is cycling.tv free again today? Or was it a one day wonder?

No clue.
Video isn’t supposed to start until 16:15 CEST/10:15 EDT—I guess we’ll find out then. CTV is showing the Innertube right now on their live link, but I don’t know if that’s usually free or not.

Their screen says 16 minutes to live race feed.

Yep, it said that for me, so thinking it'll work! Cool

Nice, clear picture.
Just perfect for ‘becco stalkers with big nasty knives, isn’t it?

Fall in the pack. Andreas Klöden, the German leader of Astana, is a wrist fracture and require registration.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Should have been their leader :/
Hmm

Oh! Poor Klodi

Frinking--require registration?
Original text: op en moet opgeven.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Yes, I love it that "requiring registration" = "giving up" in Dutch.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Hij moet opgeven
Literally: he has to give up. Sometimes used in the sense “giving up details” which in turn could mean registration.
So the gnomes inside of Google Translate aren't entirely drunk today.
Thanks!
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
That means Vino will get a start
Sorry for Klodi

Mighty fine to watch though
especially from behind

I'd be slightly worried if you had ;)

No, you'd be quietly supportive ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Aha! I didn't know you were interested in Frinking.
Are you planning to fight Albertina for him?
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
I didn't know I was either
What gave me away?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
That was a reply to Helsy33
It would be indented to the right below yours if it was a reply to your post.
Obviously, she’d hardly care who Frinking was looking at unless she had a personal interest.

I meant more if he’s chasing Albertina it wouldn’t be good to have been admiring Klodi’s err…assets

Sweet! I'll tune in when it's closer to the end...how many km left to go?

Gave up on loading it in Firefox, switched to Google Chrome and got it to work.
Direct link if anyone is having trouble finding it—not the most user-friendly site, is it?

Goodness, that didn't come out right.
Wiggins should have to pay fines for his use of black socks and white shoes
I despise black socks

Not necessarily terrible with a tan
but fashion tragedy with white shoes or legs. And it was an LA inspired trend
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
This is why I never wear black socks.
Despite my impressive tanlines, my legs are still whiter than most people’s are in the winter…

And when I am wizened and my tan looks like a joke
you will still have a youthful complexion. Swings and roundabouts :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
pfft.
Black socks with white shoes is fine. It’s mid-calf length black socks with black shoes that’s not so good. Yes, we’re looking at you LANCE.
You see how calm Vaughters is? That’s because he’s really one giant seething ball of Evil inside. With like, extra Evil.
Hans Dekkers out now too.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
So 8 guys out, if I've got them all
4 didn’t start: Gardeyn, Offredo, Turgot, and Gutierrez
4 dropped out today: Dekkers, Clarke, Kloden, and Fernandez
Did I miss anybody?
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Gutierrez?..Was it not Pasamontes?
I think that’s them all though
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Yes, I think so

Ticker says Gutierrez.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Ah, i just remember Pasamontes had to quit..
I’ll see if the Cd’E site can help..
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
That's what I read too

Pasamontes dropped out yesterday.
Gutierrez didn’t take the start today.

Darn! poor jiggy

Apparently the Vuelta was never on the programme for Klödi
So this crash has no bearing either way on Vino competing.
Kloden is on the preliminary start list.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Are they still running the Benna one?

Dirk de Mol on the phone by Belgian
Left wrist is injured.
Kloden had no experience in the Belgium country. All the hills were new and he was here for the GC.
The Tour exhausted him so much that he surely would skip the Vuelta. So Vino stays first reserve.
They have 13 riders in the pre selection for the Vuelta.
Chris Horner and Zubeldia are their main riders. Navarro Hernandez also sure for the Vuelta.
None of them were ever on the list to start.
Kloden was one of the 13 pre-selected, and listed as a starter. Whether they decided today or two weeks ago that he wasn’t going to start, someone still has to move up from the reserves to take his place.

Has RTBF not started yet or am I jinxed again?
I can’t get CTV at work…

I think you're computer needs to think the time is already after 2pm to work

Hey it´s Kangert!
He almost would finish his career after some serious injury. He was afraid of not founding a team. Nice to see him
Thomas Fothen out, too.
Cramps, possibly due to the extreme heat.

How many kms to go?
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Would like to see Van Avermaet do something.
He’s had what you might call a quiet season so far.

Uh oh....look out!

58 km to go.

He had a 2nd and a 3rd in Poland--at least one, possibly both, were sprints.
I think…it was so long ago…
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Oops, one of those was Wallonie, not Poland. My bad.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Much to his dismay.
Wonder how long he has on his contract.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Looks like he signed for 2 more years in July of 2008
so yeah, through 2010. Link

With respect to his fans i really just hope Farrar doesn't win today
It’s great to be surprised

I want Guarnieri to win

I do now i know he has underwear! ;)
Where is Jacopo though? Which peloton?
Rojas should be more likely to still be up there…
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
I don't know..can't get coverage.
His tweets could be fun if he wins…!

They seem to be short of men
Only one guy except Wiggins and Farrar towards the front
Time bonus for Boassen Hagen
EBH gets sprint
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
They really need a tactics class! :/
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Yup. Bunch sprint in the future.
No crashes today, guys, okay?
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Chris Sutton info. Anyone have any?
Not too familiar with him, but he seems to be assuming the role of chaperone for Farrar. In his last two wins, Sutton has been the last man standing for Garmin.
Chris, still just 24.
Was with Cofidis before Garmin. Last year he won the Delta Tour. Not an awful sprinter in his own rights, but will be more the Renshaw type, always working for in his case, Farrar. Won Cholet-Pays in 2006.. In 2007 he won Stage 4 of Circuit Cylicste Sarthe. He was 4th at the Tour of Qatar last year. Came 2nd in the 2008 uci track world cup classics madison, partnered with Cam Meyer.
Best result this year was 2nd on Stage 7 of Tour of Poland. Seems like he could be a good guy for Farrar, but he’s still learning himself
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Great info. Thx!
Thinking hard - really hard - of something witty to say....
Multi-tasking is a speciality, but Limousin is quiet today so it helps
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
So what's happening in Limousin?
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Two out front- Arroyo and Perget, both Cd'E, 4.40 gap, Cofidis annoyed that no-one else is working..
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
And he goes by the name "CJ"
Anyone knows why?

B&A a bit jumpy today methinks
They’ve called the race over for the peloton about 4 times, and as early at 60k left with with a group with only a 40-second gap. Every time a break gets 20 seconds, they say they won’t be caught.
Very uncharacteristic for them.

Huh?
Silence entire team had their teeth whitened?

Besides, if you're identifying riders by their teeth, Van Avermaet is the one with the big gap between his front teeth.

One of the CTV commentators said
you used to be able to identify GVA among the *Lotto guys by his white teeth, but this year they all have white teeth, so the whole team must have had them whitened.
