Bloody railways!

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Unbelievable that they still have level crossings stopping the riders. Somebody could easily have been killed.

 

[Hamilton]

Quite crazy. Surely the scariest thing you'll see in professional sport.

G down...

G down...

And up a bit more quickly than Teixeira after he was gently tripped over on Friday evening.

 

[Hamilton]

Show our first 11 G getting back on the bike!

He would be a great rider if he could actually stay on his bike. How many times can one rider fall off in Monuments?

Particularly this monument. How many times did he fall in it last year?

 

[Hamilton]

Stringing out now on section 16. Moves about to be made surely?

It was a lot, i cannot remember exactly maybe four. Fell three times MSR last year as well.

Who headbutted that barrier?

I have the house to myself at the mo. Perfect timing.

I would normally have to argue with my son, who would want to watch the football.

But it was his eighteenth yesterday, and he's lying in bed with a hangover.

If they are going to make disqualifications then the commissar should make it now, not later.

Agreed, dq over race radio as soon as it happened or not at all.

Going to be tough for a solo breakaway in this wind. Looks good for Kristoff or Degenkolb at this stage, long way to go yet though.

Any sign of Wiggo or G making something of it

Think G is long gone. Best hope is Stannard from what we have seen so far.

Vandenbergh is hanging himself out to dry here.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Wiggo now going for it!

 

[Hamilton]

Will he keep it up? Gone too soon?

 

[Pantani]

Will he keep it up? Gone too soon?

He has to go long doesn't he? If he can get Vandenbergh and Stybar to work then hit them later on he could just do this. If it goes to the final he cannot beat Stybar or Debusschere in a sprint.

 

[Pantani]

Mistake from EQS? Two guys in a group of our yet they did not seem to want to push on. Maybe too much strength behind still.
