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

[Parrulo]

contador still has 3 domestiques with him but isn't looking all that great imo

 

[Ferminal]

Will Jens catch the break before Kreuziger does...

 

[GroupDK]

Jakob fuglsang just went by the leopard 1 car, and try to chear him up..

you can do it, get you tempo up..come on man..

a big supprise that fuglsang drops allready..

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Basso looks great!

 

[53x11 in DC]

Haven't seen him at all, which isn't bad sign.

He's been sitting in behind a couple saxos

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nibali for sure.
Gesink will never win a GT.

Good chance Kruijswijk will do better than Gesink in the Vuelta. He doesn't fall at silly moments

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

but a class move actually.

I take that as an indication this will be his last stage.

and he waved off help from team mate.
pretty sad sight from Rabobank leader

Some divas who will go unnamed would have demanded the entire team drop back and pace him in regardless.

 

[Christomir]

So who is the best climber from those 6 in the break, in case some(one) of them manage(s) to hang on to a lead on the final climb?

 

[Escarabajo]

Kreuziger to connect with the leaders. nice piece of work.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Good chance Kruijswijk will do better than Gesink in the Vuelta. He doesn't fall at silly moments

Is kruijswijk doing the vuelta? Hope so.

 

[BYOP88]

but a class move actually.

Indeed it was.

 

[53x11 in DC]

hopefully he quits.
no point of continuing wasting energy if you are injured.

Nope. Alps to come. Should he recover, would be a great way for a great climber to take something away from a hard tour for him.

Yea, actually I laughed first, but in all honesty, I wish he was able to be a stronger presence as it would make a much better race.

3 domestics for Contador: Hernandez, Navarro and CAS
3 (soon 2) domestics for Schlecks: Voigt, Monfort and Gerdemann

It looks about equal to me.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Who's ass is Levi hiding under?

Martin's top 10 just went out the window.
Super climber indeed.

 

[Parrulo]

lol martin dropped

where is bavarianrider?

 

[MartinGT]

Who is virtual leader in terms of White?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Bye bye Tony Martin

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Haha, Tony Martin.

 

[Ramira]

Tony Martin gone!

 

[spalco]

Uh-oh, Bavarianrider on suicide watch.

 

[screaming fist]

Jakob fuglsang just went by the leopard 1 car, and try to chear him up..

a big supprise that fuglsang drops allready..

He wasn't that geat in last year's tour as well. Maybe he needs to ride some mountains befor getting into his climbing fom. I'm not sure but I think he got better duing the tour last year.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Nope. Alps to come. Should he recover, would be a great way for a great climber to take something away from a hard tour for him.

there is no way he will ever be at top form in this race, taht is clear.

He needs some rest to heal his back.

It looks about equal to me.

One was Richie Porte (Number 5).
