2012 Tour de France: Stage 10: Mácon → Bellegarde-sur-Valserine (195 km)

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The breakaway was formed on the flat, yeah

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Sagan is not gonna do anything on Colombier. He is done, as he was 30 kms in 2 men attack.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Still waiting on live pictures. Too much talk, not enough of the action.
Should be on by now.

 

[tomorrow]

I can't imagine Sagan or Goss keeping up with climbers on the Colombiere. Certainly not with a GC lead train chasing behind. They would have to have over 15 minutes to survive the powerful pace the SKY train could inflict. No. I just think those guys are there to fight for the green jersey points right before the main climb and them just do whatever they can

Well, Sagan might not get to the colombier in the first group, however, do you remember what he did to cunego last year at tour de suisse? The descent from colombier is very long, than there 3rd category and another descent. Sagan might also win this by actually waiting for nibali, if they reach colombier not so much behind. If I was in the front and had nibali and sagan 2 minutes behind on colombier, I would be at least worried, that at least one of these two, would catch me to the finish line. And what is more, if there is Nibali without Wiggins on top of colombier, than there is very good chance there will be also guys like evans, ... And then also bigger gap than 2 minutes is doable. With sagan in the group, the winner obvious too.

Voeckler looking like Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys when hes making those *** faces.

 

[TheEnoculator]

It's too bad Voeckler is hurt this year. He was so fun to watch last year. I rooted for him, he was like the little guy to all the big GC boys.

Eros Poli would need 15 min. I think Goss and especially Sagan can do a bit better than that.

 

[The Sheep]

works out great for sky,Scarponi only 10mins down so when he gets to 6 or 7 mins the other teams will chase them down to keep there guy in the top 10 on GC

I expect liquigas and lotto will

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Haha, Mørkøv is back in the fight for the polka dot jersey. Awesome!

 

[wirral]

Morkov the mountain goat.

And LIVE on the Big Screen (TV) in Australia now - 7 mins at the top of the Cat 2, all of Sky leading the peleton.

LOL Morkov the Mountain Man. now the descend

Rolf Sørensen about Mørkøv in the mountain sprint:
"That is like a stork eating a frog"

edit: commenting on Danish tv

 

[vcampbell]

Woohoo Morkov!

 

[Bala Verde]

Besides Morkov the track cyclist, have we seen anyone, someone with some climbign abilities, who actually wants to be the spotted dick Virenque?

 

[Magnus]

Kessiakof has stated that he will try to protect the jersey.
It also looks like Moncoutie is interested.

 

[Machu Picchu]

Can anyone tell me if any Movistar riders made it into the break? thanks...

 

[Mellow Velo]

Whoever from the break makes it over the Colombier before Sky, could become a very useful tool for those planning an attack. Not just about having team mates up the road.

Harmon and Kelly disagreeing over Wiggin's mental strength.......

Only Voeckler, but in the weird face category. Viwrongque put on faces too, but often just for show.

Exactly .

Jens being a fine guy yet again.

No MOV rider in the BOTD.

 

[Kwibus]

No MOV rider in the BOTD.

Their not having much luck so far as well. Only Costa does well.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Voeckler working hard at not having to work hard......
