Great commentary:

"Team Astana on the front... continuing to ride."

Wow.

"Riding" means pushing the pace. When a DS sends his guys up to "ride" it means to push things and bring back the break.

In the documentary "Road to Paris", a young Vandevelde comes back to the team car as Johan is ordering Postal to chase down a break and he says to Johan, "So are we gonna ride?"

Silly me - I thought riding meant riding a bike.

RR has a better chance of taking a stage without him in the break.

He got his KOM points, that's all he was out for.

That break is not gonna stay away either way. Mancebo was at least trying to shake up the race.

I get cameras 1 and 2 at times, but the whole feed is coming in and out. Probably a firewall issue or something else my company is doing.
