2011 Tour de France, Stage 12: Cugnaux - Luz-Ardiden, 209 km

Seems to me some people are confusing Kadri with Gadret, but not sure.

Kadri, Kadret, Gadri, Gadret. Not much of a difference if you ask me.

Is Gesink and Martin back in the yellow jersey group?

I have no idea. I doubt that Gesink has any chance to catch back up considering how bad he looked on the climb up. Martin didn't look that great either, but he did look like he was riding within his means, so he would have a better chance.

Gilbert driving the peloton with Vanendert (?) right behind. Why is he doing so?

 

[Jamsque]

Does the mantle of Team Gadret simply pass on to the highest placed rider on a mountain stage whose surname begins with G?

Hah, whoops. Brain fart.

Whoever called the Rabo fail earlier has a bit of crow to eat it seems.

 

[Bala Verde]

Rocky is ready to pounce on Luz. He's in good shape and annoyed he didn't get green in TdS.

Martin was also dropped much further up the road than Gesink. I doubt he's getting back on either though, and if he does he won't be any use on the final climb.

I heard there is a free haircut for the winner of this stage, hence Ten Dam's attack.

 

[Maxiton]

And just to solidify his reputation, looks like Schleklett missed a shift on the climb.

I don't get the ham-fisted Andy love.

Northern Euro kinkyness.

 

[Descender]

OPL working for the Schlecks as a reward for LBL.

 

[Jeanne]

german eurosport referring about how bad the schlecks are as descenders and that gerdemann was supposed to help them there!?!? how was that supposed to happen

 

[BYOP88]

Depends. What's it worth to you?

Vernon Wells' contract

 

[El Pistolero]

Gilbert showing the tiny climbers how to descend

He perhaps wants some cushion for the final climb as he'll likely be dropped there.

:d:d:d:d:d:d:d

 

[Delicato]

Contador looked kinda doubtful, if this is the appropriate word. Basso and Bros on the contrary look much much better.

 

[trevim]

OPL working for the Schlecks as a reward for LBL.

That's a theory

 

[brollebol]

Can't wait for Szmyd to wreak some havoc and then basso sliding in with his pain face dropping everyone one by one.

 

[Parrulo]

phill attacking pn the descend

 

[Bala Verde]

Philbert is descending like a torpedo

 

[b.broadhurst]

Sammy Sanchez is on his way to Gilbert, descending fast just behind!!

 

[Anonymous]

[Kazistuta]

of which year?

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Klöden returns in the downhill.
