From http://live.cyclingnews.com/Jurgen Roelandts (Belgium), Marco Pinotti (Italy), Fumiyuki Beppu (Japan), Denis Menchov (Russia), Stuart O’Grady (Australia), Tim Duggan (USA), Lieuwe Westra (Netherlands), Jonathan Castroviejo (Spain), Janez Brajkovic (Slovenia), Michael Schar (Switzerland), Alexander Kristoff (Norway) and Sungbaek Park (Korea) are the men up the road, and they have a sizeable advantage over the Great Britain-led peloton.

No I have not noticed that Marinmomma!
How good is Stuart O'Grady for his age?

I don't think the break will survive but if it did, I suspect Stewie would have trouble winning- there is just too much talent in there!

Pure yellow - very easy to spot! Still in the break.Zynster wrote:BTW, what does the Aus jersey look like? I'm watching some stream in Arabic and I can't spot Stewie in the break. I hope he wasn't dropped.
Cheers,
Simon.

I dont get this at all. Stewie has the best sprinting pedigree in there. Although that was in the past there arent too many great sprinters in there. There is talent but they are TTers and climbers.gabrielle260 wrote:Stuart O'Grady is amazing for his age!

He may not be the best sprinter currently in there but he does have the legs in there and I would never write stewie off.

Rogers and O'Grady in a break away, now that would be good!

WIth the breakaway gap, this is small so unless something happens it it a sprinters finish so Greipel will be in there and is fairly independent so he can use the leadout by another team to then use this to strive for victory.
Will be interested to know about what Roger's is doing and if doesn't reveal itself during the race, I guess we will find out after.

I think during the last Olympic Mens Road Race were were discussing the branding here and how brands may or may not appear.
You can't interupt the Mens Cycling Road Race for Dressage though I personally am not convinced of the classification of this sport as an Olympic Sport.

Tell me about that. The GLW is a horsey type and some warm words were spoken when I suggested the same. Time to sweep out the kennel methinks...AUbicycles wrote:You can't interupt the Mens Cycling Road Race for Dressage though I personally am not convinced of the classification of this sport as an Olympic Sport.

Great crowd turn out on the course, really positive if I remember how empty it was in China.
