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

[Sophistic]

Jens Voigt is the new german gc hope

 

[Bala Verde]

Is Gadret still in the front group?

Gadret dns in stage 11

 

[Parrulo]

gilbert is still there

 

[brollebol]

Was LTD the only RAB in the peloton/maillot jaune?

I thought barredo was there as well but we might have missed him dropping.

Is Gadret still in the front group?

Team Gadret pulled out yesterday(or maybe on tuesday)

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

LTD is about to hit his favorite terrain

 

[AussieGoddess]

Yep, no way I'm going to criticise them. Too often we come to the Tour and strong teams sit on and ride defensively until the last 10km. Good job Leopard. Frank will light it up in the first 5km of Luz anyway.

Totally agree

Jens! deserves all the snoring he's going to get tonight

what a beast!!!

 

[Parrulo]

How about Cunego- any one sighted him?
The Rai haven't mentioned him all day.

don't mention him

the least we talk him up the better he performs

Is Gadret still in the front group?

Team Gadret was a DNS yesterday.

 

[Jamsque]

Unless Roi and Gadret can pull out a minute or two on this descent they will get caught by the GC climbers before the finish.

The Rai haven't mentioned him all day.

Pretty sure he's just been sitting in the middle of the front group all day. Look as if he is on good form.

 

[Ramira]

Jens Voigt is the new german gc hope

He's clearly the new up and coming young talent

 

[Bromers]

Anyone seen Roche?

 

[b.broadhurst]

Leipheimer is an outside shot now!! Still in there!!

 

[Jeanne]

Monfort might make it back on the descent.

Needed a wheel, nobody would give him one.

The Tourmalet is such a great climb.

Indeed.
It always provides a wealth of learning opportunities.

And Leopard Team isn't as strong as expected. They were only three at the top. Voigt... and the Schlecks.

BINGO!!! There it is!!! I effin love it!!! Jack Nicholson just ordered a Code Red.

And I am certainly not the only one with that opinion of Bottle. Start a poll...

I thought I saw Roche still in the main group. Van de Velde was back in the main group, and didn't see him go off the back again. Haven't seen Kloden or Gesink return. Hesjedal is off the back.

Monfort might make it back on the descent.

Not sure he will be of much use even if he does.
