'Dale Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 There has been a few crashes already ahead of the race. Today, almost the entire Trek Factory Racing team came down as they were exiting a roundabout during a recon of the course. Only Cancellara, Arredondo and Feillin were left unscathed. According to the team, Jungles was worst off but all nine riders will start this evening.
'Dale Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 As Lampre-Merida start, Cannondale go the first check in a time of 6:59, 7 seconds faster than GreenEdge. They're on a mission!
'Dale Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Orica-GreenEdge make up for their troubles mid-stage and cross with the fastest time, 10 seconds quicker than Giant-Shimano.

'Dale Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Yay!!!!!!! Cannondale lost a little time in the second half, but they still beat Orica-GreenEdge by 0.01 of a second. (OPQS to take top spot for sure)
'Dale Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Fdj look knackered. FDJ lose a huge 39 seconds on this short course. The team can still make it up in the mountains, but that's not the way they would have wanted to start.
'Dale Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 It's be interesting to see how Trek go after suffering a big crash in training this morning

'Dale Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 "It’s definitely unexpected but Alberto has shown time and time again he’s a world class bike rider. If anybody could recover and make it to the start line of the Vuelta and even do something in the Vuelta then it’s him." Pitbull Talansky
