Queen stage is going. We have 3 riders in front Honig (Vacansoleil), Terpstra(Milram) and Gaudin(Bbox) 2 3 of them were already in the breakaway in the Nuyens stage. With that stage in mind we are going to see some firework. Let's pray to Erik Dekker for some firework for that. And favorites for the stage:
Boonen, EBH, Lovkvist, Niballi, VDB, van Avermaet, Wiggens and the whole Raboteam

The first cyclist to stand up to him. And he did it in silence.
They climbed the cote d'Anton!
Now they have a gap of 7’45.
Terpstra is dead last btw. What has he done?
I guess he spent too much time
Being a Twerp-stra.

Yo Frinking
Shall I join your solo-escape or will you just happily chat along alone?

Nikolas Maes
That’s a name carrying a huge amount of cycling memories. Romain and Sylvère Maes were Tour de France winners in the 1930’s.
Probably not related because Nikolas Maes’ website doesn’t mention it.

On tour tele?
I can’t get in via the livefeed. I want to watch it but can’t find a link.

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Painful? I would think so...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
So is this still a stage for a sprint?
It’s a little more hilly so I’m wondering if Tommeke or Tyler are still good bets.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
They're not known for their good timing
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
You and Frinking are asking the same question
and I have no idea. Keeping their options open?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
So unlike Rabo your timing is excellent
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Should this become part of the lexicon?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
The buffering prevents me from finding out what it is
and Frinkster and Bruce won’t tell me
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Timmer is like Voeckler, perpetually buzzing ...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I guess that makes it better
It’s like cyclists’ Tourettes
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Now Martin could be a chance at the finish?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Tony Martin might win the stage?
Or am I making a fool of myself?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Don't sugarcoat it, I can take it
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I wanted an Australian, well not really
Tony Martin is a name that is so bland it crosses borders or fools people :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
6 minutes in the Brussel stage '52sec yestreday.
Missed that also but was scrolling through the GC this morning
Alright, now I can see the 'fool' bit
but it would be great
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Timing is all ...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
And Rabo misses the new break. Huh.
Hi, everyone, looks like I got here just in time for some fireworks.
Showing the sponsors they're still there?
Best I can do…
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
So who will win?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I named the favorites:
Boonen, EBH, Lovkvist, Niballi, VDB, van Avermaet, Wiggens and the whole Raboteam
And as usual I went for the chat without the preamble. Oops
Go tommeke
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yeah, I'm impatient
but I apologise, sort of ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
We are interested in everything you tell us
even if we don’t read the preamble
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
How many people have been dropped??

Are you using my name so I will pay attention?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I do that with my students all the time. It works ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Everyone is working so hard!

I'm one of the three people who likes Menchov
and I try to be nice about Cadel, so I understand

Masterplans are politically incorrect

They are both busy today

Go rogers! ( I just had to say that)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Is it the black socks?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Is this an All Black thing?
i love the haka. Those new Zealanders are bloody clever
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I'm not. But the Haka, those men...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
They beat us tonight (Wallabies), by a point.

+1000
I’m so glad to see this!
You see how calm Vaughters is? That’s because he’s really one giant seething ball of Evil inside. With like, extra Evil.
As are we all I think
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I can't get it at all. I tried earlier
I would love to be spoiled

Hey All!
Race going on?
Looks like Garmin’s begginning to stir.
"…I saw bloody Cavendish coming, really fast…"
HH
Predictions?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I never know enough to do anything but wish
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Martin chasing him down.

Farrar right there in the front.

No! Boring

It's the 'bloody Cavendish' thing I hate :)

Oh my...

Farrar!
That was not a boring win.

Agree. That's the way to keep it interesting, but who won?

If Majope was here...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Tyler has been white hot
since he doesn’t have to deal with The Dish in the bunch sprints.
This is a tres, tres good sign for him ahead of the Vuelta.

If you say it, then I'll start to remember why i hoped he wouldn't win
Seems like a very nice boy though
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I did, but I ignored it ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Really? Tomorrow's profile doesn't look very Queen Stagey
then again, it’s the Eneco Tour.

Thanks Frinking
that was a ticker worthy of Helsy
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Thanks for the commentary (except for the Ireland spoiler!)
I missed this stage completely by actually going out for a run for the first time in weeks. Good for Farrar, though—if he’s not priced himself out of reach, he’s a shoe-in for Red Shorts next year.
Throughout the stage all I kept on thinking was: ‘don’t finish second, you can’t finish second again’.--Heinrich Haussler
Cyclingnews spoiled Ireland for me
why must they post results right in the middle of the front page now?!
"On a personal level, I have never had admiration for him and I never will"
~AC about LA, me about Johan "drama queen" Bruyneel
Because there are places that don't get even a delayed coverage.
Give us a break please.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Back in the old format
if you wanted the results, you went to the race you were looking for and clicked the results tab, but no spoilers right when you open up the page. That seem reasonable doesn’t it?
"On a personal level, I have never had admiration for him and I never will"
~AC about LA, me about Johan "drama queen" Bruyneel
In some ways yes
I’m not a huge fan of CN but recognise its value. They’re entitled though to have a ‘front page’ story. And as they have a world wide audience, not just a one country one, it follows that there will always be spoilers for someone. I think part of the problem is how voracious we are.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I understand they are entitled to posting spoilers
but for so long they didn’t and managed well enough. The one thing most people complained about(on CN’s message board) when they changed their format was the spoilers. You can’t go on to cq or VN and not get spoilers, but you could CN, which made it a good place to go for me, a place were I could check other results and still not see the one I didn’t want to.
"On a personal level, I have never had admiration for him and I never will"
~AC about LA, me about Johan "drama queen" Bruyneel
My sympathies then..
On a lighter note, as it was a sprint finish, was the result in any way a surprise? In my little corner of the world though Stuey coming third was big news ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Of course it was a surprise
how on earth did Lance not win?!!!!!!!!!!!

It was the leprechauns!
