2012 Tour de France: Stage 11: Albertville → La Toussuire - Les Sybelles (148km)

[Machu Picchu]

Scarponi...duh...always suspicious of riders who can't keep their form...

Hirner FTW !

Quoted for stupidity

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

How can you say such a groundbreaking tour has been miserable?

Groundbreaking tour? What are you talking about?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Renshaw climbs off.
LOL: This Tour is going to go down the usual Vuelta road......

 

[the asian]

Renshaw latest to Quit. Rabobank abandoning en mass.

 

[Bala Verde]

Renshaw abandons.

Erm, Rabo have 4 left after today?

Isn't there a minium number of riders you need to field, like in soccer

Makes it even more difficult for Gesink to abandon.

 

[SantiBotero]

Scarponi...duh...always suspicious of riders who can't keep their form...

Horner FTW

???

He was full gas yesterday... It's quite normal that he must be tired !

 

[For The World]

Rogers is punching out some of those career high numbers again on the front of the peloton.

 

[The Chicken]

?

Effectively. Best years behind him fo sho.

 

[Montanus]

Knees done? Only 4 riders left then and its pretty early. Interesting.

 

[patrick767]

Aye, we could.

We won't, but we could.

hah hah... I'm still thinking of the Andy's epic ride last year when he had help up the road in a breakaway and bridged to it.

 

[iZnoGouD]

Dan Martin has such bad pedalling style. How the hell is he a pro?

pedalling style is overrated

 

[HL2037]

I feel like renting a car and I don't even have a drivers licence

 

[stazzy]

Knees done? Only 4 riders left then and its pretty early. Interesting.

nope, down to get bottles afaik

 

[the asian]

Scarponi career over.

I didn't come across any announcement that he was retiring

 

[webvan]

Knees done? Only 4 riders left then and its pretty early. Interesting.

No Knees dropped for water, loaded isn't he!

 

[Montanus]

Wrong, Knees getting bottles.

 

[trevim]

I thought: hey at least Knees was dropped and Rogers/Porte will put their nose to the wind. No, he just went to get bottles Just adding a bit more weight as the climb is being too easy

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Effectively. Best years behind him fo sho.

that has been quite obvious this year, but career over was abit harsh

 

[The Chicken]

pedalling style is overrated

Pedalling style is everything. Wattage is overrated.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Knees done? Only 4 riders left then and its pretty early. Interesting.

not yet

 

[Climbing]

pedalling style is overrated

Yes! but it does help a bit, you know.
I, myself, improved quite a bit working on that (was playing soccer before at a decent level, so had to adapt alot on that).

 

[cineteq]

Wrong, Knees getting bottles.

That's Cav's job.

 

[Bala Verde]

Renshaw is a big disappointment this year.

In the Giro he wasn't competitive and in the Tour we haven't seen him either. Why he did both GTs a mystery to me.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

With the exception of EBH, these Sky guys look like skeletons.

 

[patrick767]

Awww, Hagen blew. Poor Sky will have to switch to Rogers, Porte, and Froome to power Wiggins up the mountains now.
