Imploder

Ok, official results, has Nibs 3 seconds ahead of 'Geri'

Nibs had a 28 second lead at the start. Guess how much Horner pipped him by..... Yup 28 seconds.......Ai Ai Ai!!!!

That was exciting!!!! Kiryienka takes the stage! What ride by 'Geri' Horner.......

Eish!!!!

Horner again! Distancing Nibs

Purito and Nibs, pull in Horner. All three together now.

Valverde being dropped.

Move is covered by Horner and Nibs! Now Horner attacks!

Purito Attacks!!!

Climb is about 6km, with a steep 12% grade at 3km. Probably will see some fireworks here.

All the big hitters present and accounted for; Nibs, Valverde, Rodriguez, Horner....

Kiryienka 4km to go. Astana hit the front now....

The Shack at the front, turning the screws. Looks like Horner is feeling strong....

Hang in there JVR!

Kiryienka starts the climb, chasing group of 8 starting to close in. He's got a bout a minute on them.

10KM to go for Kiryenka. 4km from final climb.

C'mon toppie! Hoping Horner has some legs today.....

He is coming off a good season though and he hasn't raced as much as the other guys so he is rested. He might be the proof that the peloton is clean, because he was kicking ass in the states for ages.

hahahah!

Thanks! I'm cheering for the Toppie!

What time does the fun start today? Will Nibs take Red?

ONE for the Toppies!!!! Yeah!
