2011 Tour de France, Stage 10: Aurillac - Carmaux, 158 km

[Machu Picchu]

Good to see Johnny still riding well!

 

[Ferminal]

Ha, Schlecks caught out, almost back though.

 

[Shardi]

about Gilberts low cadence and big gears.. pretty high cadence in this hill

 

[AussieGoddess]

Hope he stays away

 

[Jamsque]

Gilbert has decided it is time to go! This is going to be a fun last few km.

 

[ImmaculateKadence]

I sometimes tune out for a couple minutes too and then notice, "hey I haven't been listening to anything they said", especially when I'm surfing on the side.

Yeah I keep drifting off and then 5-6kms have passed

And Voeckler attacked....that's what's up!

 

[Ferminal]

Tommy D closing the gap to Gilbert.

 

[superconfex]

did i miss a mountain??? wheres the peleton?

 

[spalco]

Great move by Gilbert and Voeckler, but I think 15km is a bit too far.

 

[Maxiton]

It's like a one day classic!

 

[Moondance]

Impressive stuff by Martin.

 

[Carl0880]

This awesome, we have a split on what is a flattish stage.

When you have a non sprinter with ambitions for the Green, you get more exciting racing because he knows he needs to explode the field to help him win. With no GC ambition anymore with VDB out,they can work more for his cause.

 

[Ferminal]

Go Panzerwagen!

 

[UselessToo]

Tony Martin last one

 

[Tuarts]

What is happening?

Gilbert + Voeckler

 

[Maxiton]

Huge gap.

 

[trevim]

If Tony Martin decides to ride this may turn out to be a good escape. Who's the Quickstep guy? Devenys?

 

[shalgo]

I guess Voeckler decided that wearing the yellow jersey wouldn't stop him from going in a breakaway after all.

 

[Parrulo]

gigantic pull by martin

 

[superconfex]

come on help fast phil Tony

 

[Ramira]

This really makes me hope the Gilbert to BMC rumours aren't true. I doubt we'll get this kind of spectacle next year if he's on the same team as Evans.

 

[Ferminal]

Boo BMC...

 

[Jamsque]

Three going across the gap, BMC chasing from the lead group.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

PG gonna get zero points . . . .

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

What a fantastic finale
