    :confused:Maybe Nico should have stayed in peloton today as he has a bit of sprint and could have been up there

    In fairness everyone thought a break would get away

    Just a bit of bad luck. He'll probably get another chance.

    What happend? The group should blame themselves tbh, they didn't cooperate.

    Have to disagree, it's nearly impossible to stay out when there's a team chasing you from 90km to go to 60km to go, and then OPQS and co taking it up after that. On a day that you'd expect the GC men to rest up too.

    Yeah, I know he got swallowed up, but didn't see him go out the back and was hoping he'd hung on.

    Not that it matters in terms of GC.

    I really hope Rodgers wins, means Roche's efforts aren't in vain.

    And from the pictures i saw the roads were still closed so he must have been riding behind the peloton ???

    They way I read it was that he followed the second (third?) support car down following the peloton.

    He loves cycling almost as much as himself from what I can see. Fair play. He is a character. I challenged him to the Evil 200. Dont think he is up for it.

    Reading Roche's giro diary, it seems that having Mouray in the group caused all the problems. He was 7 mins down and the peloton weren't happy to let him away. The break started fighting and were doomed.

    My knowledge of Tinkoff is entirely superficial but, good to see he unashamedly enjoys being part of - maybe too part of - the team he's paying for. Bit of an antidote to the po-faced seriousness that can surround sport. . . . Bradley Wiggins for instance recently saying the Tour of California was Sky's biggest focus for the season after the TdF - because of the impact this might have on the Murdoch family business in US exposure.
    Yeah, right on Bradley, go Team Sky!
