Hey look. Garmin has two men in the break. :p

johnybutts 05-28-09 08:10 AM

popasniff?

Grumpy McTrumpy 05-28-09 08:23 AM

sheesh do you EVER stop?

USAZorro 05-28-09 08:25 AM

Mitchell - would you care to contribute something here?

OK - Who's gonna take the sprint after the break gets caught? Petacchi?

MitchellH 05-28-09 08:29 AM

OK, if we have a sprint finish with no Cav in the race, who would you guys think is the best sprinter/team left at this point?

Grumpy McTrumpy 05-28-09 08:30 AM

I'm changing my tune. Break will stick. Popo attacks and solo win.

USAZorro 05-28-09 08:32 AM

Sastre leaps off the front with 3 K to go and wins by 30 seconds. Yes I'm kidding. :D

Think that would be a safe guess, I would think if Garmin knew the break was going to be caught they may have Julian Dean drop back and sit in until the finish, he may have a chance....

Petacchi.

SushiJoe 05-28-09 08:40 AM

Specialized probably really digs the ISD and Saxo Bank riders out on front riding their gear in the same video frame.

USAZorro 05-28-09 08:47 AM

I don't think they're going to get caught.

bdcheung 05-28-09 08:54 AM

pate popped?

Grumpy McTrumpy 05-28-09 08:54 AM

this is a heck of a slugfest

bdcheung 05-28-09 08:55 AM

nope, he's still there.

botto 05-28-09 08:56 AM

pate's not going to win it. no sprint.

botto 05-28-09 08:57 AM

I'd be OK with that. :thumb:

bdcheung 05-28-09 08:59 AM

that looked painful

botto 05-28-09 09:00 AM

nice finish.

SushiJoe 05-28-09 09:00 AM

Scarponi, meh...

USAZorro 05-28-09 09:00 AM

Great effort by Pate and McCartney - but...

Indeed.

Grumpy McTrumpy 05-28-09 09:00 AM

THAT was exciting :)

even with no sound while listening to Gene Ammons.

CrimsonKarter21 05-28-09 09:00 AM

Ugh. Pate, as usual, looked strong but failed to deliver. I don't even know what McCartney was doing.
