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

[Roude Leiw]

Or hire swimming coaches

Sounds more like sour grapes - maybe the French could learn the lessons of other teams and they might their own race again some day

perhaps, but the perspective of ending like di gregorio might think a lot of them twice

Oops, I dont know why I wrote Kiserlovski

Because you're watching Eurosport...that's what Harmon said he was.

After TDf.. All the teams Will put powermeter in his rides bikes!! Do intervalls training instead of only riding all the day like most of the pro do!

Sky school!

Seriously? Does only SKY conduct interval training?! Then it almost makes sense that they are dropping everybody...

 

[virandociclista]

By the way.. I watched all the rações this year.. Did letape act 1 And i am right here in Lunchon waiting for letape act 2 on saturday. Better Than watching rações all year in the tv room in Your cold place haha

Rolland 25p?!? French f**kers.

And Rolland now complaining!? Idiot, Kess is riding for the Polka...

 

[kareeem]

I still can't decide whether these guys are so good or the others are so ***.

 

[burning]

How long till Kess and Rolland climb off and have a go?

Next climb starts 40.7km to go

Whats up with all the swimming coach references? I'm assuming Sky has some doctor who was part of a swim team that is helping them dope?

No it's another groundbreaking tactic SKy have introduced. Hire coaches outside of Cycling to help them think out of the box.

Dope? What made you think of dope? Sky have hired Tim Kerrison, an Aussie swimming coach who churned out loads of very successful endurance swimmers, and they credit him for their improvement. His new outlook on the sport has meant tha tone team now dominates the race and it's completely legit.

 

[Climbing]

Evans and Basso trains like sky from years , it's not like they have introduced anything new

Apart from having younger riders!

Moosey

Comments like that will earn you a free night's stay on Sesame Street with the rest of the muppets.

C'mon Mr Moose put up or shut up - give the proof rather than your own rather world weary cynicism. You can be a know all smart-*r%s on a forum like this - but I bet you wouldn't say this to Wiggins face - I think he already got your name correct at that last press conference

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Ten Dam is such a terrible descender

 

[Walkman]

Rolland 25p?!? French f**kers.

And Rolland now complaining!? Idiot, Kess is riding for the Polka...

Yeah!!

Kess was first!

 

[The Chicken]

So Team Sly get a one-two on GC for this Tour. Surely there will be only tumbleweed to greet them on that Paris podium.

 

[Bala Verde]

OK people cool it.

 

[Montanus]

That will be reversed end of the day, clearly came second

Official: Rolland 25p.

 

[meandmygitane]

Official: Rolland 25p.

Astana has to protest this ruling.

 

[booboo]

Sometimes it is almost as if there are Sky astro turfers posting...

 

[Frosty]

Official: Rolland 25p.

25p? Thats a rubbish prize. I know there is a recession on but really

It all makes sense now doesn't it. I suggest Schlecks to hire Mourinho, I bet they would win something.

 

[Clemson Cycling]

any chance sky is pushing this hard to get the yellow helmets back

 

[Mellow Velo]

Ten Dam is such a terrible descender

At least he hasn't done his TDF face plant yet.
Still, it is a bit of a team theme.

I see one or two posters are in for an extra rest day.

 

[rghysens]

On the positive side: I'm going on a holiday tomorrow. To Uzbekistan. So I certainly will not be able to watch the remainder of this borefest.
Hoping for a better race next year.

 

[Walkman]

Sure Rolland was first over the top...

 

[The Joker]

25p? Thats a rubbish prize. I know there is a recession on but really

hahahahahaha
