Did Wiggins look a bit tired there to anyone else?

Then still there is Froome. No problem.

Kern softened the group for Rolland

I deleted it immediately. I didn't realize the image was so large.

They did. And He delivered. Rebecca Adlington won two gold medals at the Beijing Olympics.

Ah, OK. Our footy team then?

Yes, it was a brutal elbow.

 

[webvan]

He had a power cut, too.

Ok, is he waiting maybe? He looked super on the Croix de Fer!

Hush....... Don't tell the FA. England winning a Football World Cup will be too much to bear

 

[T-Nielsen]

Yes, it was a brutal elbow.

You could tell by how much Rolland protested.

 

[roundabout]

Go, go, Vasil.

What the heck is ozone?

Normal oxygen gas is 02

Ozone is 03

Evans is gone this stage by the looks so it may be up to Nibbles and VDB2.

But with four Sky riders on La Toussiure it seems impossible.

The point doesnt always have to be to win the stage or even make back time, but they need to make Sky work. Nibali and Evans will recover better through the rest of this tour then Rogers and Porte.

The only chance is to crack those 2, to isolate Wiggins and Froome.

Nibali / Evans / VDB attacking on descents wont use up much energy, but Rogers / Porte pulling them back on the climbs will cost them energy.

Plus, like someone else said earlier, it might make Sky make a mistake on a descent. Rogers went wide earlier on the last descent and could have crashed out very easily, but was lucky. Another mistake on the next descent, and he might not be so lucky...

Mr Harmon saying nice things about Mr Nibali.
Mr Diesel catching the front 2.

 

[Parrulo]

[Moose McKnuckles]

Nibali still has Basso for help on the last climb. Evans hopefully recovering.
