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

They are bunching together like pengiuns during an antarctic snowstorm.

I count six HTC in a line at the front-left of the peloton.

I continue to be impressed by how BMC are riding this year, they always seem to be at the front of the pack keeping Cadel out of danger.

G'd the sky looks dark ahead!

 

[Ferminal]

No real pace in the peloton at all.

 

[Maxiton]

Interesting that Hushovd is going for it. I like Cav but it'd be great to see the yellow jersey take it.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

group is very spread out.

they have been cautious today

 

[Ferminal]

They're going uphill you idiot Sherwen.

It is the type of stage which hushovd should be up there.

Roux is styling himself as a pretender to Tommy V's throne.

uphill, downhill - he had a 50% chance of being right.

Roux is very talented.

FDJ hold him in pretty high regard.

Apparently Wiggins is supposed to lead out EBH today. At least that was what Sean Yates told Eddy's parents on the bus this morning.

It's one of the stages Hushovd had decided to go for before the tour started.

 

[Jamsque]

Big OPL train at the front now.

Is there a 3km rule today?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Contador riding in the back. Bit weird.

 

[hdmfox]

Former cyclist Dag Otto Lauritzen (now working for norwegian tv2) talked to Sean Yates before the stage together with EBH's parents. He was told Bradly Wiggins will lead out for EBH.... not bad

 

[AussieGoddess]

Omega come to the party .... Finally

 

[just some guy]

Evans a big hip and shoulder to the Garmin rider

 

[TeoSheva]

Cav off the back? so wrote Craig Lewis on twitter

 

[Bavarianrider]

Doesn't look like July

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

It's Normany. It never looks like july there.

Thor -Would he be considered a Champion if he went for the win here, or a smart Champion if just defending the jersey?

If a time bonus was offered, then, go for it only.

Wouldn't surprise me if he was either knackered by the climbs or resting for the pan-flat finish tomorrow. Haven't seen it on TV yet though, the cameras usually follow Cavendish if he gets shelled.
