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

[SantiBotero]

Huge Cadel, he almost nailed that precious second !!!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Why is Evans sprinting??

Trying to win 1 second lol

 

[the asian]

So pathetic Shack protected their 6th & 7th places

 

[The Chicken]

They should flat out ban Voekler for bad style.

 

[webvan]

Way to leave it late Cadel.

Cadel is pathetic, tomorrow he'll attack at 100 meters to go...if he hasn't been dropped before.

 

[mcassidy3]

Wuggins full gas and in difficulty.

Guys just start attacking him sooner.

Lol really?

 

[the asian]

WTF is wrong with Evans?

He's applying the Marginal gains theory practiced by sky.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

This tour looks to be over.

 

[gustienordic]

Evans is worse than Rodriguez. You can predict them both to sprint everytime, but at least Rodriguez goes a little bit further out

 

[Magnus]

Devenyns was pedalling way too small. I would have geared up to the very biggest gear for the final uphill part. Dumb ****

Yes. I'm sure that you would have won this stage had you participated.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Maybe Evans thought he was sprinting for the stage win?

 

[kareeem]

Jesus Christ, Evans is ***.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

He completely blew up. Do you really think gearing had anything to do with it?

lol, sarcasm detactor broke i take it?

He was geared way too big, so yeah, that definitely had something to do with it.

Yes. I'm sure that you would have won this stage had you participated.

You wouldn't that's for sure. See above.

 

[patrick767]

so it's Jens "Buttered Seal" Voigt now?

 

[booboo]

After following Evans for years, I have to say that his tactical sense is pretty lacking.

Two guys up the road, doesn't bother until the downhill of Colombier and then he watches Nibali ride off.

Then later on he watches VDB ride off.

Finally two weak attacks in the las 200m.

I just don't get it.

 

[Arnout]

Lol really?

Yep. Not in the end, but when Evans first went.

 

[dlwssonic]

Cadel is pathetic, tomorrow he'll attack at 100 meters to go if he hasn't been dropped before.

you are pathetic.
Cadel is probably worried about tomorrow. That's why he didn't want to go too deep today. And he probably knew it won't succeed anyway today.

 

[El Imbatido]

Guys you need to remember that there is still like 10 more days.....as i wrote about 20 pages back, it is as much about not overdoing it today as it is getting time back. Overdoing it today could mean a rider is shelled out 2km onto la touissure tomorrow rather than being with or in the attacks in the proper mountains....

 

[Caruut]

They should flat out ban Voekler for bad style.

Eh? Bad pedalling style?

 

[phanatic]

And he probably knew it won't succeed anyway today.

can't believe that thought comes to Cadel, probably just had nothing.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Evans' final sprint was a little silly...Wiggins didn't even look tired after the stage.

 

[Red Lobster]

They should flat out ban Voekler for bad style.

It is a horrible thing to watch. Not as horrifying as watching Didier Rous used to be, but getting there. Effective, but ugly.

 

[Mellow Velo]

VDB sort of got it right, where Nibali sort of got it wrong.
Thanks to Vince and Pete for making it entertaining.
Evans times his sprint to perfection.

Voeckler the consummate con man.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

So pathetic Shack protected their 6th & 7th places

And they succeeded.

 

[vcampbell]

you are pathetic.

It could be true, but then what is the theory behind sprinting from 100 m to go?
