It’s becoming more and more obvious that AG2R still haven’t realized that poo-brown doesn’t look optimal. I suppose though, no publicity is bad publicity.

It’s Biel Kadri from AG2R and these three are flying (figuratively)

Jordan Kerby is driving the three-man breakaway and has assumed the position of Head Train Driver. He is hammering.
Tour Down Under 2013: Stage 6 Live blog
Jordan Kerby, Martin Kohler, and an AG2R character have now settled into what appears the 53/11 gear ratio and are striving away with intent and speed.

Much aggression happening right now, UniSA, BMC, Astana, Vacansoleil.
GReipel’s Lotto Belisol is now in charge and they don’t look very generous.

Now that Team Sky hasn’t any more intermediate sprints to worry about, they don’t really need to control the race anymore, and probably won’t. Over to you Team Blanco.

Thomas (Sky) is now equal 3rd place overall with Ben Hermans (Radioshack).
Tour Down Under 2013: Stage 6 Live blog
Boassen Hagen got the 3 seconds and Thomas 3rd. A Euskatel rider was second but not their climb, so i’m not sure anything was achieved from their team.
Tour Down Under 2013: Stage 6 Live blog
Thomas has Sutton behind him and Boassen Hagen in front.
Tour Down Under 2013: Stage 6 Live blog
Euskaltel can’t really do much, they’re trying hard to get their train in front, points for that.
Tour Down Under 2013: Stage 6 Live blog
The bunch is in one long line. Sky driving it for Thomas, 1km to go for the intermediate sprint.
Tour Down Under 2013: Stage 6 Live blog
Ion Izagirre has his team trying to help him get 4th place back, but Sky keeps leading out effectively.
Tour Down Under 2013: Stage 6 Live blog
Too true, but Greenedge certainly don’t live in Jayco camper-vans either. Disgraceful.

Sky is keeping Marczynski at 10 seconds, with another – the final – intermediate sprint approaching soon. Thomas (Sky) needs to win that to steal 3rd place overall.
Tour Down Under 2013: Stage 6 Live blog
Blanco and Sky chasing. Mostly just ‘keeping steady tempo’ so Marczynski doesn’t lap the field. He is really moving. The gap is about 10 seconds.
Tour Down Under 2013: Stage 6 Live blog
Marczynski from Vacansoleil is on the attack again. He actually rode accross to the initial breakaway solo before they were caught. He is gone again, solo again.

Bike exchange have been a fantastic supporter of the Tour Down Under this year. They do need to improve their TV advertisements though.

The new breakaway of 4 is mostly Central European in ethnicity.

Maybe it’s Stefano Agostino from Cannondale. They have been quiet this week, but that man – mark my words – is a grand tour contender of the future.

George Bennett just misjudged a corner after attacking the group, and performed magic to some how hold it up after a meter long ‘drift’

Haha JL, perfect addition. That was the epitome of mess-ups.
