2013 Pro-cycling season thread

Fab showing some muscle!!!

What was Jimmy saying about how he'd not be able to drop Sagan?

we all make mistakes now & then ;-)

Someone from Argos Shimano wins in Spain..

Lucy Garner?

:-)

who are Sky's leader?? I thought EBH but he's been dropped by Thomas's group

Actually as above... I have't a clue whats going on.

Vandenbergh & Stybar waiting for Boonen

they have communication with the DS unlike in Dwars Door Vlaanderen

Thomas is the only one in the front group, ergo he's the leader.

Except I can't see Canc actually ever beating Sagan, unless he manages to gap him, which is unlikely

It seems Cancellara read my post

Is Stybar up there? I thought it was Vendenbergh and Chavanel.

Lucy Garner?

Might have been

Sagan looks panicked

What was Jimmy saying about how he'd not be able to drop Sagan?

Ha!

Oops

I just meant that is how he needed to beat him, but it would be difficult, cos on the straight run in Sagan will out kick him

Is Stybar up there? I thought it was Vendenbergh and Chavanel.

Chavanel is in front of them, in the Fab chasing group

YAY commentary.

Fab winning a second almost every 10 pedal strokes

Commentary via a mobile phone?? LOL

No-one in the second group wants to take Sagan to the finish.

Game over. Cancellara wins.

Has to be

great timing, great effort

Sagan is like the 2012 Cancellara

Thinking again about that move by (OPQS DS) Vandenbergh & Stybar, leaving Chavanel alone in the chasing group in favour of waiting for Tommeke. How would Chava feel about that?

It's over.. Sagan needs to stick his nose into the wind more often if he wants these races.

It's a calculated gamble. Chavanel is leading the World Tour rankings so if he finishes in the top five he'll extend his lead nicely. If, on the other hand, a decent group with 3 or 4 hard working teams coalesces behind then it could, with 30 kms to go, come back together for a sprint, which Boonen could win.
