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

[trevim]

Rolland always looks like he's just cruising along effortlessly Does he even breathe? Great style!

 

[Montanus]

Rolland looks strong.

 

[Gloin22]

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

Knees is there

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Leipheimer finito.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

bottle

 

[shalgo]

Gap to the break going up.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Levi cracks completely.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Hopefully VdB attacks halway to the top.

 

[Parrulo]

kelly seems to be a real joker, who would have thought

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).

am i the only one that has tried to climb like contador only to get tired extremely fast?

 

[Montanus]

Booooom!

Levi blown.

 

[The Chicken]

Why do you call Leechheimer "Bottle"?

he will never win Tour without high cadence

 

[Finn84]

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

Makes it even more difficult for Gesink to abandon.

If they have less than three then they are out of team competition. But I don't think they think that one too much.

Few years ago I think we had one team finishing some GT with less than three riders (and I don't mean cases like Astana in 2007 or Leopard in 2011 Giro where entire team withdrew (in these cases completely different reasons behind that decision))

nop. I am (in my humble opinion) in pretty good shape, but i do absolutely fancy the Ullrich grinding in the hills

 

[Montanus]

Basso...

Sheeet!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Kern annihilating the break.
Valverde and Basso blown up.

 

[Gloin22]

And quite friendly with the ladies who attend his French training camps from what I hear

 

[Parrulo]

Been wondering the same for weeks.

long story short, lance wanted a bottle of water and didn't want to go fetch himself during a training camp at the start of the season. so he pointed to some new guy whose name he didn't know and said "bottle" that guy was leipheimer.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Surely Kiryienka has one of the best styles on a bike.
