2011 Tour de France Stage 6: Dinan - Lisieux, 226.5 km

[AussieGoddess]

Contador just changed bikes with Navarro????????

 

[search]

Looks like it is still together. Some small groups have been dropped, Richie Porte and Chavanel are the only names I have heard so far.

Greipel, Intxausti, Renshaw, Roy, Sabatini and a couple more were with them

Yes, he felt that he needed a bit of a challenge

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Contador switches bikes again - now off the back with team mates

lol camera moto honking at the defending champion.

Renshaw not hurting to try and stay at the front is further evidence that HTC are possibly looking at Goss this stage...Unless Cav does what he did yesterday.

 

[Fowsto Cope-E]

Yes, he felt that he needed a bit of a challenge

He also told that spectator to cause that crash on day one. The Giro was just too easy for him.

nasty weather

 

[Descender]

Stop it with the Swiss flag will you...

There's Cancellara at the front.

 

[just some guy]

Wet and a roundabout 3 km from the finish

This is watersports... not cycling

 

[Publicus]

Ca't be said enough of just how miserable it is out there.

 

[Maxiton]

The flag of Switzerland is unpacking its suitcase of courage now, and that puts paid to the chances of Wikipedia to win the stage. And what's this? Turkey has managed to hang onto the flag's wheel, taking support from its crescent of Islam festooned medical vehicles.

LOL. When Phil retires I think you have a job waiting for you.

Close. He's secretly a Jedi Knight and he used the force to cause the crash. And before you ask, yes, he used it last year on Andy's chain.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ciolek and Garate dropped.

In Garate's case obvious with his fractured arm

 

[AussieGoddess]

Actually that is one part that Phil and Paul do better than eurosport .... I like hearing about the sights and history stuff

 

[Jamsque]

Sherwen says it's a tail-wind at the finish, which could take some of the sting out of the climb.

I had always suspected that there was something supernatural about Contador. . .

 

[just some guy]

Rain at the finish

 

[Jamsque]

Hopefully once Westra gets caught I won't have to listen to Phil and Paul butcher the pronunciation of his name any more.

 

[max_powers]

Finish is very wet now

 

[Tuarts]

Ok, ignore what I wrote on the last page about Goss.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Tom V punctured and soon back in the group!

But that often suits guys like Gilbert more than the sprinters. A headwind is good on climbs for sprinters, then slipstreamining becomes more important, and the becausenof the slightly slower place up the hill, the climb slightly easier. A tail wind advantages guys that want to hit out and go fast up the climb.
