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

[Arnout]

question: did costa manage to get back to the main group? or was he heavily dropped?

i saw him getting dropped on la grand colombiere but then i had to leave and just got back.

He got dropped near the top, so wouldn't be surprised if he is in the group. Valverde was there too. Didn't see him though, but didn't pay attention either.

he managed to hang on till the top, just came back to the front with Valverde (I think)

I think he reconnected in the descent of the colombier maybe.

 

[Warhawk]

Oooh, Tejay might make it back.

 

[Montanus]

Evans waiting to the final 1k climb to take maybe 5 seconds on Wiggins...

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

This Tour needs Contador badly.

 

[Parrulo]

then the pace on the climb must have been slow as he was being dropped with over 10k of climbing to go when i left

kudos to sky for toying with their competition

just forget it nibali, ur not even gonna make a dent in the gc

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

So LL Sanchez for the win then?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Evans most aggresive move of the day was picking that water bottle

 

[Bala Verde]

Van Garderen going downhill like he goes uphill


backwards

VdB2 is missing him too.

 

[karlboss]

P and P just realise voigt is almost back

If had a climber waiting then it could have been interesting.

TJVG pulling an il falco here, an il falco down the ravine on the side of the road

 

[superconfex]

Come sandy catch those 4

 

[The Chicken]

Menchov has attacked!!

Oh wait, no, no, I got that wrong.

 

[benzwire]

Is Voigt catching the breakaway group?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Evans waiting to the final 1k climb to take maybe 5 seconds on Wiggins...

Yes. And in approx. 216 days, he will have enough time to take yellow.

This Tour needs Contador badly.

Every tour needs Contador badly. Last year he was "limping on the bike" to quote Evans and he still animated the race more than anyone else.

 

[its like that]

Teejay looks shaky on this descent

 

[Unkown]

So LL Sanchez for the win then?

Ya right, Jens Voigt is only 20 seconds behind the leaders lol. Jens gonna win this

 

[Bala Verde]

So LL Sanchez for the win then?

I wouldn't underestimate Scarponi or Voeckler either. It's an uphill finish.

Don't know enough about Dries though.

But I'd say I favor LLS

 

[booboo]

Evans looks like he is already riding for second. Which is ironic as he may lose it to Froome in the final TT and to Nibali on a descent in a later stage.

No one seems interested in taking a real risk in a real attack to put Sky under pressure.

I think the marginal gains theory needs to be explained differently to him.
