2011 Tour de France Stage 11: Blaye-les-Mines Lavaur 167.5 km

[Machu Picchu]

what happened there

 

[sublimit]

We need a king of the breaks comp for Delage. Edit what happened with Lotto?!

 

[El Pistolero]

Nothing happened with Lotto, HTC is just too strong and it's ****ing me off. They keep the break of every day with one single guy. Unbelievable...

 

[TeoSheva]

Cavendish 7º, Rojas 8º y Gilbert 11º

 

[Eyeballs Out]

I think Greipel was trying to win the sprint

Lars Bak is something else. Thats why they left Grabsch and Rasmussen at home.

presumably Gilbert's strength ****ed htc off (and everyone else) during the ardennes. Can't go all his way.

but yeah htc is ridiculous.

Which makes you think how much a sprinter like Cavendish can benefit with dope without being doped

Of course clinic talk, but just throwing it out there.

That's one man. Lotto isn't nearly as strong as HTC. If Leopard didn't chase at LBL the break could have stayed away and Greg van Average would have won

And they also didn't chase at FW.

Ive just ordered the T, it looks like its now on sale

I did, however order the Jens T 4 weeks back and its still not been sent out yet. They have a massive back log after making 108 Shirts.

Got my 108 shirt yesterday. Was well worth waiting for.

Cav in green tomorrow then, even if Rojas is second on today's stage...

 

[Four Winds]

Basically IF Cav wins stage
and Rojas isn't second
and Gilbert isn't at least 6th

then Cav in green

I think

If Cav wins and Rojas second, Rojas will be in front by 1 point

 

[just some guy]

Eurosport - they started in warm, munky drivel

 

[MartinGT]

Thanks

Do people think HTC will come under pressure like they did yesterday at the end?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Anyone know if it's a long straight sprint in Lavaur ?

I'm guessing headwind unless there's a bend at the finish

 

[sublimit]

Greipel looked quite good in that sprint even though he backed off, I bet Feillu trys to get his wheel again and is burned off as usual at the finish.

 

[just some guy]

head and slightly cross wind

 

[sultanofhyd]

I think Movistar should send Ventoso up front today in the last few kms and try to break the HTC train like Vacansoleil with Marcato. Rojas has no chance otherwise.
