Spoiler : Paris - Nice. 3-10 March

[Strathlubnaig]

Nice finish, a good day for French riders.

 

[Noodley]

And squeaks into yellow

Does he!? Even better
Go FDJ!!!!

 

[Noodley]

Good to see Viviani contesting the sprint at the end as well, he's an exciting track rider and seems to be one to watch on the road as well.

I wonder how long Ale-Cheat will keep going?

 

[smutchin]

As well as Bouhanni in yellow, there's Chavanel in the green jersey and a Dutch rider on a French team in the polka dots. The sponsors will be happy.

What do we know about Bert-Jan Lindeman? Looks like he might be worth keeping an eye on for the future.

Thanks I managed to find a Eurosport live video feed today, which worked great until the last 50 metres when a bloody advert filled the screen and I was left listening to the commentator shouting names and not really making it clear who was winning...thankfully I managed to get the replay a few secs later

Costa has to be another huge danger man

It only costs £2.99 a month for a Eurosport Player subscription if you sign up for a year!

Be warned though - the cheapskates expect you to pay again if you want to use their app on a phone or tablet!

Oh wow - I've just discovered that Eurosport now allow you to use your PC subscription details to login to the free app! I'm using it on my Galaxy Tablet now and the picture quality is fabulous!

Fantastic!

Not any more!

Guessing he was the wrong side of the split?

Broken wrist worry - DNF

 

[smutchin]

That split had quite an impact though - you know it's serious when even the likes of Tom Boonen and Jens Voigt can't pull it back together. Credit to Europcar and BMC for putting the hammer down.

Boswell and JTL had a bit of a tough lesson about racing at this level yesterday.

 

[smutchin]

Talking of DNF, amazed to see Kristoff finished the stage, albeit 17 minutes down. Didn't look like he was getting up again after his crash.

And who was the Movistar rider who finished with a very raw looking buttock hanging out of his shorts? That looked rather uncomfortable.

d.

 

[raindog]

Bouhanni out - on the slo-mo you could see his back wheel slide on a road marking. Very slippy out there today. Shame.

 

[Noodley]

Looked a sore smack in the face
