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

[Parrulo]

Seriously? The moderation here has gone full ***.

i have to agree with this one. . .

 

[Pantani_lives]

Thomas in yellow after today?

.

He's 5'51 down after waiting for Wiggins. I expect Andy to take yellow.

 

[dgodave]

Nice eglise!

Doesn't seem like Kloden will be finishing it. No Radioshack teammates waiting for him.

huh? last i heard, despite back injuries, he was still the team leader. what happened to the days of supporting your leader on radioshack (albeit with the remaining few people left on your team)? radioshack needs to learn from astana! or better radioshackneeds to learn from usps/discovery!

 

[The Hitch]

I'm with Hitch 100%.

People should stop listening to Phil and Paul. The blokes wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Osama Bin Laden and Cadel Evans on a bike.

Exactly.. and Osama is dead!

That one's easy. Evans is more short-tempered.

Evans has more fanatical followers

Please dont ban me

Contador the only rider for a 100 years to ride TDF solo?

Somehow i believe your reaction would be slightly different if you were reading the forum and saw "Gesink down, will he get back up."

hey, when i read that it was Vino on the thread (boyfriend had F1 on), all i could do was hope that everybody was wrong and were saying it because Vino was the one they knew.

unfortunately, everybody was right

the point is, mistakes are made frequently on rider identification when there's a chute (think about Stage 3 of the Giro).

nobody is being malicious here.

chill.

Leopard trek have just stated inside there 1 dir. car where we in danish TV have a live camera, that as ,soon as Fuglsang and Voight get back they will start there plan..

 

[Jeanne]

and here he goes again - Hoogerland

On a downhill how much help does he need. He took it real easy and made it back with no problem.

I was saying that after his fall. It doesn't look like he was good enough to get back on. I hope he doesn't lose to much by the end.

Klödi has to weld his broken bike... as Eugene Christophe did in 1903.
What a time!

this. I would be more worried about my rider, and the relieved if he is ok.

I can honestly say I wouldn't demand a poster be banned because he made a mistake. To my knowledge ericthesportsman6 is a pretty decent poster.

 

[Netserk]

Danish TV have a webcam in the Loepard car, and they are saying that they will pull something now

 

[Jamsque]

Super G is back up in the breakaway. Kreuziger and Chavanel should catch them on this climb too. We'll see what happens then.

That was my reaction exactly. I was hanging on to hope that it was a different Astana rider. Sigh.

 

[Ramira]

Seems Leopard might be readying themselves to push the pace a bit. Now it begins.

 

[Jamsque]

Leopard-Trek hit the front! Now the Tour de France begins.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Leopard are starting to up the pace by the looks of it.
woot. as suspected.

 

[jobiwan]

Leopard!!! Crush Everyone!

 

[hfer07]

Leopard putting the hammer down- let's get some sh!t started

 

[Mellow Velo]

Ho ho ho, Voigt and Cancellara to reprise their: "Let us big guys drop all the contenders on the Tourmalet," routine.
