tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 16:44:38 CEST BMC will perhaps be hoping to bring the break back before the final climb, which comes with around 7km to go.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 16:48:02 CEST 46km remaining (from 153km) and the break have less than a minute lead.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 16:48:58 CEST Kung (BMC) leads the peloton on the descent of the main circuit and there are more gaps appearing. Contador has his entire team around him, Porte and Aru need to keep near the front and out of trouble.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 15:53:08 CEST Just 44 seconds for the break, their day almost over with BMC still leading the peloton. They're down to four men, with Tinkoff and Astana behind them.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 16:57:33 CEST An attack from the break and Fernandez is distanced. Intxausti is clear with Zakarin, Hesjedal, Betancur with a few more riders trying to chase back on, including Rosa.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 16:59:09 CEST We're down to 7 riders at the front with the gap moving back out to 1'23. Zakarin, Betancur, Hesjedal, Rosa, Intxausti , Pellizotti and Kruijswijk are the leaders remaining.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 17:01:19 CEST 38km remaining. We're onto the climb for the second time with the break still at 7 riders. BMC leading the bunch but Tinkoff Saxo are also moving up as well.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 17:02:32 CEST Hesjedal leads the group over the top of the climb with the gap extending to 1'44.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 17:04:45 CEST Kruijswijk is hanging on for dear life at the back of the break, as BMC are down to their last man on the front of the peloton.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 17:06:12 CEST Kung has even created a little gap and Tinkoff have let him go clear on the descent. The BMC rider looks back, takes a gel and will probably ease up and wait for the rest of the field.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 17:07:07 CEST Kung almost overcooks it on a corner but makes it around. After that quick gel he leans over the saddle and pushes on. He's created a fair gap over the peloton already.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 17:08:32 CEST Kung has 19 seconds over the peloton already and he has no intention of easing off.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 17:11:04 CEST Over the finish for the break, with two full laps to go. Kung is on fire at the moment and he's 1'09 down on the leaders with 30km to go.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 17:11:53 CEST And with 30km to go we see Orica GreenEdge move to the front, most likely for Matthews, although we can't see him in the main peloton at the moment.
tombeej Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 (OK, that's it from me. Have to leave for the airport now. Someone else take over plz)
T-Bob Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Oh holy fricking Maglia... Is Contador trying to get ejected from the race?!?! There is going to be a whole world of rule fest happening. Shouldn't 12.1.40/3.3 now be enforced based the evidence? http://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/05/Twitter2-630x354.jpg
