At least you don't have the cooking show beforehand this time...

Yay! A pleasant surprise.

Didn't you hear? Cadel dropped out...

ACF has just had a heart attack!

 

[Ferminal]

Why does Westra attack

Wanted to make sure Levi wasn't left without a wheel.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

which vacansoleil rider was that?

 

[BYOP88]

Just asking, when did O'Grady become an "awesome" mountain domestique? I remember when he used to be part of the 'bus, I guess there's hope for Cavendish being able to climb and send guys out the back in about 7-8 years time.

 

[sultanofhyd]

The difficulty is not so much doing one or the other but being good at both sprinting and climbing at the same time.

 

[Maxiton]

Man, that crap is looking steep.

 

[Zoncolan]

Gesink attacks.

Hope he's well enough to sustain it. Commercials

 

[ericthesportsman6]

TVG already gone

 

[Ferminal]

Fuglsang dropped?

 

[khodder]

Tony Martin dropped, why did Phil and Paul not make a big deal of the HTC GC hope falling off the back??

 

[sulgpallur]

Man, that crap is looking steep.

ye but other climbs are that much easier

 

[Granville57]

Versus working overtime with commercials. At least they get them in now so the end is commercial free.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Fuglsang dropped?

Yup. Fuglsang already gone

 

[Jamsque]

Gesink on the attack! Can he salvage what has been a disastrous Tour for Rabobank?

 

[Alberto Attack]

Wow this really is a beast of a climb, shame it wasnt the last or 2nd to last climb.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gesink on the attack! Can he salvage what has been a disastrous Tour for Rabobank?

Rabobank already won a stage, don't forget. They already did better than tons of other teams by winning a stage

 

[just some guy]

Mayhem

could be Mano v mano for the last 60 km

Basso on the move ???

 

[khodder]

Time to start the Clinc topic on Fuglsang?
