Champion  26509    Sydney |  Subject: RE: Mens Road Race Start List in Beijing....sesh - 2008-08-09 4:38 PM Mornin. Looks like we might get to see a frantic peleton try to chase down a pretty large lead pack. Its sooo wheird they let such a big group away... but riding by nation with all these different riders and smaller teams must be strange too... |

Master 1718 Loughborough, England | Subject: RE: Mens Road Race Start List in Beijing.... It's probably difficult to get the peleton organsised with riders from different teams trying to work together. |

And all those different countries with just a few riders in the peloton... youd have to form some sort of alliance perhaps... to really get things moving, one team cant dominate and control like in normal racing... |

Master 1718 Loughborough, England | Subject: RE: Mens Road Race Start List in Beijing.... On cycling news it is saying 3:30, which if it is then I would expect the break will be caught. |

A ukraine and someome else. I don't think either of them are any of the big riders. Eurosport are saying that the gap is below 3mins now. |

Master 1718 Loughborough, England | Subject: RE: Mens Road Race Start List in Beijing.... They're certainly in a good position with Sastre in the front group and the others just sitting in the peleton saving their legs whilst other teams do all the work. |
