Finish times or intermediate, (sorry just got home)
Jens - February 19, 2012
I think intermediate but I'm not sure
They just had Lulu finishing in 5th and we didn’t see Wiggo or TVG finish
ursula - February 19, 2012
i believe those are intermediate
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
i believe those are intermediate
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
right
ursula - February 19, 2012
and Porte is underway
ursula - February 19, 2012
Sky/Kask tempohelmets sure make you look like a dickhead
Jens - February 19, 2012
oh, geez. lulu.
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
No sound on the live stream?
Or am I doing something wrong…
Odette - February 19, 2012
you at the multimedia link? there's sound. check your volume
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
Yes, try the multimedia link, above. I was not able to get any sound on any of the
Sports-Livez channels for this race.
Ruthann - February 19, 2012
Plus listening to all the "Zzhhh"s of the Portuguese language is excellent.
Ruthann - February 19, 2012
Eureka! Amazing what using the correct link can do.
Odette - February 19, 2012
trust us. we'll never steer you wrong
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
And Teejay just misses 1st. Now in 2nd for real.
ursula - February 19, 2012
Correction
Teejay 1st barely
ursula - February 19, 2012
kwiatkowski slides into 2nd with 33.41. ebh and lulu at 33.44
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
well, he was. now 3rd for the other two tied for 4th
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
T mart faster then wiggo at intermediate
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
Porte does not
look like he is going well to me
John.. - February 19, 2012
Costa slower then Machado 2 sec's for now.
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
what was castroviejo's time? +10?
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
nvm, 33.49
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
no.. tenth for now...
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
here comes wiggo
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
wiggo best time so far.
pablo777 - February 19, 2012

umwolverine - February 19, 2012
Wiggo 1st
ursula - February 19, 2012
Tmart coming
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
.....2nd
ursula - February 19, 2012
just missed it i think
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
yep... barely... suffering face..!
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
0.78 difference i think. so that would get rounded to 32.49
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
Yes.. I think.
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
In GC so far is T Mart the virtual lider.
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
Porte nice time at the intermediate
Hard to see him losing
ursula - February 19, 2012
the overall? yeah, that's most likely not happening
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
yeah
ursula - February 19, 2012
Guys on my VDS team doing well, shame it doesn't count :(
Martin, EBH, Talansky, Porte 4th at the split. Well, at least this means I can still cheer for Wiggo. for now.
wannabe_scattista - February 19, 2012
So this course
Basically sort of uphill in the first half then downhill
ursula - February 19, 2012
geez, is it friday yet so i can submit my fsa ds team?
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
VDB not bad 5TH in TT.
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
Holy shit. Docu on the training camps of the big teams on Sporza
= treasure trove of VDS info.
tgsgirl - February 19, 2012
take notes for me please?
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
I have taken notes
Haven’t decided yet if I’ll share with the class :)
tgsgirl - February 19, 2012
Do we need to know any flemish beyond "doodsmak" to benefit from this treasure?
Jens - February 19, 2012
+1
(a 2-pointer)
tedvdw - February 19, 2012
Haha, yep
making room right now :D One other very important nugget of info there too
tgsgirl - February 19, 2012
Hoogerland attacking
Uphill - February 19, 2012
Hoogs in with a frantic 19th place
ursula - February 19, 2012
Machado done...
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
Did it say 17th for Machado?
Jens - February 19, 2012
yep
ursula - February 19, 2012
disappointing
Jens - February 19, 2012
i told you he was a big tease
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
Yeah I'm, surprised
ursula - February 19, 2012
somewhere around that yes... couldn't see..
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
wait, the ticker says the podium will be wiggo, porte, and rui costa. in that order.
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
What podium? Stage? No way..! GC.. No way either..!
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
true. cause wiggo was 57 secs back of porte at the start
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
okay, correct that. wiggo is virtual. ONLY porte or rui costa can overtake him.
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
I think is wrong too... Tmart had 2 secs advantage over him going into todays stage...?
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
Costa 13th
ursula - February 19, 2012
so much for that
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
Just right for this time of year!
majope - February 19, 2012
Giro winner for sure
Jens - February 19, 2012
Shhhhhhh!
majope - February 19, 2012
wrong portuguese my friend.
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
Machado about nothing.
majope - February 19, 2012
for 2 points I take him..
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
He was on my team one year.
Just not this year.
majope - February 19, 2012
Porte took it..!
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
Porte 3rd and wins the race!
ursula - February 19, 2012
You bloody bewdy!
Seahorse - February 19, 2012
porte wins overall. 3rd in stage
umwolverine - February 19, 2012
Porte won the GC..
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
And only 4 points!
majope - February 19, 2012
now you.... shhhhhhhh
pablo777 - February 19, 2012
Good ride for Porte
John.. - February 19, 2012
Love that they are sticking to saying Boasson Wagen
Jens - February 19, 2012
+ ♥
majope - February 19, 2012
2 young Americans in top 10 today. Nice.
ZoeRochelle - February 19, 2012
2 on the podium for Sky
promising showing
Jens - February 19, 2012
Very nice race for them
2 on podium, and Wagen got to stretch his legs for a stage win.
ursula - February 19, 2012
Bradley Wiggins sitting there looking calm and cool
ZoeRochelle - February 19, 2012
Short dresses on the podium girls.
majope - February 19, 2012
Damn, overslept
I wanted to watch this TT :(

majope - February 19, 2012
So Wiggins was only a fraction of a second better?
That makes me feel a little better.
Aly Edge - February 19, 2012
Remember that this is Algarve.
Plus or minus a few seconds really means nothing, Tony is right where he needs to be.
However, I did just fire Lulu. Maybe I will regret it, but with Paris-Nice presumably a major target for him, he should be testing himself here, and he should not be a minute off the pace in a 30-minute TT.
straw dog - February 19, 2012
Nice to see Tejay and Talansky doing well.
tehGrindCrusher - February 19, 2012
Sadly, both got a popularity bump
and I decided not to load my team with too many up-priced guys. Just a couple this year.
majope - February 19, 2012
I can understand that.
I can see them underperforming (relative to their price) and being better value next year.
tehGrindCrusher - February 19, 2012
price bump will happen next year as well
count on it.
ursula - February 19, 2012
If we want them to do any chat's we can tell them no one picked them because we value them so highly.
It’s genius.
flying dog - February 20, 2012
They're getting picked.
One of them is even more popular than Jonathan Tiernan-Locke.
