Very nervous in the front group, back together for now but no-one wants to go to the finish with the OPQS boys.

3km to go!

May get caught the break. Will get caught.

Jamsque · « **Reply #32 on:** May 04, 2012, 15:33 »

Zingler attacks under the banner but can't get away

Jamsque · « **Reply #33 on:** May 04, 2012, 15:33 »

Slowing down at the front now

Jamsque · « **Reply #34 on:** May 04, 2012, 15:34 »

Voeckler went for the long one but couldn't hold it, Degenkolb takes the win

ram · « **Reply #35 on:** May 04, 2012, 15:34 »

NOt caught. Degenkolb

Arb · « **Reply #36 on:** May 04, 2012, 15:34 »

Thought the bunch had them but it was a technical finish.

Enjoyed that. Far more exciting than the Giro presentation, later. ;D
Keisse-Turkey-no radios.
Dunkerque-small group- no radios.
I see a pattern forming.

A few big teams, totally absent.

Not been half bad has the racing since the classics. Though Romandie was sh*te, maybe it's only the big races.

Stage 2 about to get rolling, live coverage here: http://www.weo.fr/Le-Direct

Jamsque · « **Reply #42 on:** May 05, 2012, 14:44 »

OPQS blew the race apart in crosswinds and have five men in the lead move

Jamsque · « **Reply #43 on:** May 05, 2012, 14:49 »

Looks like the peloton is going to re-capture the OPQS move

ram · « **Reply #44 on:** May 05, 2012, 14:52 »

Nice one that, tired of QS winning.

Jamsque · « **Reply #45 on:** May 05, 2012, 14:55 »

There were four out front this whole time that they never showed us... not sure what the gap is.

Jamsque · « **Reply #46 on:** May 05, 2012, 14:58 »

Quintero is in the break along with three Frenchmen.

ram · « **Reply #47 on:** May 05, 2012, 15:00 »

Who be the others?

Jamsque · « **Reply #48 on:** May 05, 2012, 15:01 »

Not sure, but Quintero has attacked with one lap to go and dropped two of his companions. Attacks going off from behind by Astana and OPQS and Aqua e Sapone

Jamsque · « **Reply #49 on:** May 05, 2012, 15:05 »

Quintero and Vermeulen ahead.

Grivko, Napolitano, Pineau chasing.

Jamsque · « **Reply #50 on:** May 05, 2012, 15:06 »

Peloton nearly back to the chase group.

Napolitano seems to have had an active race, so too Pineau.

Jamsque · « **Reply #52 on:** May 05, 2012, 15:09 »

Quintero and Vermeulen are in the sights of the peloton now.

Jamsque · « **Reply #53 on:** May 05, 2012, 15:14 »

Catch made! All together now, not much of this last lap to go.

Jamsque · « **Reply #54 on:** May 05, 2012, 15:16 »

Crosswinds causing havoc again! Echelons and gaps.

ram · « **Reply #55 on:** May 05, 2012, 15:17 »

Any major names caught?

Jamsque · « **Reply #56 on:** May 05, 2012, 15:19 »

Looks like it came back together, very cagey now. No-one wants to commit yet.

Jamsque · « **Reply #57 on:** May 05, 2012, 15:23 »

Streams crapping up, switched to another but it seems to be a long way ahead of where I was so I am completely confused.

Jamsque · « **Reply #58 on:** May 05, 2012, 15:24 »

I give up. Sorry.

Cheers Jammy
