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

[Trunnions]

Any official word on Voeckler's knees? Seem to be okay today.

What treatment has he received?

 

[cineteq]

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

that's why he's one of the most popular and beloved riders in the peloton.

 

[TatryTour2013]

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

He lost about 3 - 4 minutes on simillar climb to Cunego in one of his best performances. So if they manage to be 5 - 6 minutes before Sky riders there - there is a nice chance. On the other hand he will be totally finished for the next 2 - 3 days because of this.

No MOV rider in the BOTD.

Cheers, pity they missed such a large break hopefully something planned for later that will help animate the GC race.

Wiggins looking like a c*** again.

 

[Yingge]

Break is almost at the top of the descent with a lead of 6:55 , be interesting to see who from the peleton attacks on the way down.

[Bala Verde]

Please refrain from quoting a mad Wiggins.

Looks like the winner will come from the breakaway now given the quality in it

no-one, I guess

 

[Yingge]

Climb of the Cat 2 must not have been too hard, for Cav is still there at the front of the peleton, towards the front of the Sky train too, an unusual position for him.

No this is good. Making the race hard. No Cavendish pace on Colombier. You have to hurt Sky on every possible mountain.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Mmmmm, Lotto put some cards on the table. I think Sky were going to leave the break at arms length....

+1

 

[Yingge]

3km to the sprint for the break. Gap to peleton is now 6:52 .

 

[Trunnions]

Please refrain from quoting a mad Wiggins.

Sir, do you mean American "mad" as in angry, or British "mad" as in loopy?

 

[Captain Sensible]

Looks like Lotto have taken over from the Sky team .

They could have waited until they started the climb.

BBC:
Q/
Jurgen van den Broek, who lies almost five minutes behind Wiggins overall, is not giving up on the Tour just yet... announcing on yesterday's rest day that he is planning more aggressive riding in today's stage.

"I'm expecting a real war against Wiggins," said the Belgian. "The only reason I've lost time is because I've been unlucky."

Good result for Matty Goss there with Huta taking second

 

[Yingge]

Goss wins the sprint, Sagan 2nd or 3rd.
