[ericthesportsman6]

What KM does the Alpe start at?

 

[goggalor]

Think I might hunger bonk at my desk... can't eat or drink with all this excitement.

I haven't eaten since I came back from my ride just before Conta attacked...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I feel sick and I wanted to sleep and maybe miss the stage to get some rest. But this is such a good stage i can't pull my eyes off the screen.

As a result I'm probably sick for weeks but ok

 

[K-0tic]

Well I just took all the available food and beer out of the cellar , now the Alpe can start. God this is great. Major jeune coming in too , maybe not enough but at least a fair chance for the Europcar boys.

 

[shalgo]

Go Ryder! He had a terrible start to the Tour but has been riding very well over the past week.

 

[Jamsque]

<What the ****'s Rolland doing?

Winning the white jersey.

 

[davestoller]

What KM does the Alpe start at?

13.5 km to go

 

[No_Balls]

Yeah, but he was never expected to do this. He was supposed to go for a stage win, and finish maybe an hour back.

Yes, so we thought.

 

[Benneth]

My boss has chosen an excellent afternoon to take leave.

 

[Publicus]

What KM does the Alpe start at?

I believe 14km to go.

 

[patrick767]

Why is he a fraud?

Edit: Ahem... I think I've said too much for there. Some people have doubts at his turnaround. Discussion in the clinic.

 

[goggalor]

Garmin riding with cojones in the mountains now as well. Chapeau.

 

[Rooboy]

What KM does the Alpe start at?

officialy 13.8km from finish

 

[Jamsque]

Voeckler might catch the favourites, they have really sat up.

 

[Ferminal]

Vanendropped to make a miraculous comeback, bridging the gap at the bottom of the Alpe and going off the front to take the stage and Polkas.

 

[goggalor]

Bit of a useless sprint, eh?

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

I've never seen anything like this, this many attacks. It's like these guys don't realize, or don't care that there is a huge climb ahead of them, and most of them are already exhausted. Some riders are going to blow up in a spectacular fashion on the Alpe.

The only question now is "who"?

 

[The Hitch]

Es picked 3 years of Alpe 86 2004 2006.

Wtf no 2003 1997 2008.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Voeckler is back!!!

 

[ChopperArris]

Robbie McEwen tweets that the Alpe is Cadel's 'Bete Noire'...5 times!

 

[cineteq]

Voeckler might catch the favourites, they have really sat up.

He's so spent, that he'll dropped back on the Alpe...

 

[goggalor]

Stage win fading for Sanchez etc now.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Omgf

Voeckler and peloton return

 

[goggalor]

Tommy back!!!!!
