1' per 10km is a possible...
if there were some sprinters teams chomping at the bit. But with a peleton of 30, and many teams represented up the road….

vluchters?
Do they really refer to the riders in the break as pigeons or is that a strange Google translation?
Literally: flee-ers, flyers
never ever heard “vluchters” linked to pigeons. Pigeon = duif (pl.: duiven).
Thanks!
can you give a good translation of tempobeul?
Thanks again
That was used in an article to describe Cancellera and I figured it was something more along those lines than what teh Google said.
so of the 200 or so starters
how many finish this stage? i’m going for 90.

Amazing display of the power of an echelon
Chainel and Topsport rider let about a 2 meter gap go and they were 10 seconds back almost instantaneously with no hope of getting back
if the "peleton" can keep up this rate
it may be the end for the break
"Today I was honked at...I caught up and made a great honking noise back...he caught up and said I'm gonna punch you in the face...I laughed."

yeah

Re: way of the cross
I was reminded of the balde runner quote, ‘like tears in the rain.’ which reminds me of the psalm, ‘vale of tears.’
surely they were waching a semi classic while penning that?

G2 made huge progress
last 5 km. I didn’t think they had a chance but it’s coming down way fast now. Farrar might be working too hard, helping Millar, to have much left to sprint for it.

And normally there wouldn't be a sprint on the penultimate lap
but they said that the commissaires decided to have one after all, last time when they crossed the line. That was Grivko, Gilbert, Mouris, I think.

At least, he’s still on the schedule to sing “Back Home Again in Indiana” at the Indy 500. But it’s possible they booked the zombie Jim Nabors.

At the Paris-Nice prologue
8 km-Grivko finished 5 seconds behind Millar. I’ll still favor Millar for tomorrow but he has competition.
Another stage tomorrow too, though.
