2011 Tour de France Stage 18 - Pinerolo - Galibier Serre-Chevalier 200.5km

[Zoncolan]

Harmon says Basso bridged to the group ahead!!!

 

[Parrulo]

basso across to gesink?

says harmon . . .

 

[Bumeington]

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

I actually like how the stage is set out, yes the Galibier isn't too steep so it could be a snooze fest, but this way stuff with happen on the first two climbs

 

[Spine Concept]

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

At least they've won a stage. Thus, it's not a complete failure. Mollema rode great yesterday as well.

 

[Pharazon]

is there anyone who hasn;t been dropped?

 

[just some guy]

Linus
LLS
Karpets

going out the back

 

[Parrulo]

karpets dropped before rojas. . . .lol

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Basso is still in the peloton. Definately not in the group Leipheimer/Gesink

 

[sulgpallur]

basso still in main group

 

[Zoncolan]

No, I can see Basso in the favorites' group with Szmyd.

 

[BYOP88]

Has Basso moved forward to Bottle's group?

Edit:Ok he's still in the peloton, stupid commentators!

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

Shack's sponsors had a little talk with their boys I bet. I prolly went something like this... "All we have of Radio Shack in this Tour is crash footage. Now do something positive for your sponsor, or..."

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Leopard Trek officially has the worst climbing team. BMC is even better

 

[hatcher]

Get out from behind the car, Rojas.

 

[The Barb]

Letour ticker also says Basso with the Gesink group.

A mistake?

 

[spalco]

Did I understand Eurosport correctly, Basso is int he front group ahead of the peloton?

 

[just some guy]

Both BMC dropped from the break

No Basso with Gesink

 

[The Sheep]

[sulgpallur]

[khodder]

says harmon . . .

Yep, saw him bout 15 seconds ago. Interesting...

 

[Ferminal]

Nvm just watching Bertie I guess.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Contador in the back of the peloton???

 

[thrawn]

Contador near the back of the peloton???

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Contador doesn't look good!
Very much at the back of the main group.

 

[Finn84]

Contador surprisingly down in the peloton.
