I mentioned in the Channel 9 Cycling thread that I missed seeing the rest of the peloton, as the helicopter hovered over the trees search for Gerrans after he took victory, I was expecting to see the other riders come in to cross the line. Instead we had the latent time, a number of repeats and never saw the other riders come in which is pretty usual in cycling coverage.
Looked like a great atmosphere on the ground - and was an exciting stage with a lot of potentials along the way.

Slater was all over Gero's wheel with 125 to go and did not even look like he was even trying to get around. I reckon Gero was go so fast he just was happy to hold on for a towfatdudeonabike wrote:It's just you...
