Intermediate sprints coming up in ~8 & 27 km:
16:37 - Astana Lead Peloton To Finishing Circuit
As is tradition, the team of the race leader is at the front of the bunch as it arrives for the finishing circuits. Once the peloton crosses the line for the first time, we should see the Lampre, HTC-Columbia and Cervelo teams shift into overdrive because the green jersey has not yet been decided.
Meant to ping you to this.
I saw George had a flat. :(
Thank you for doing the thread, Freddy! Great job keeping it current and keeping us all attached to the daily commentary. I loved it!
