2012 Tour de France: Stage 12: Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne → Annonay Davézieux (226km)

[Eyeballs Out]

Seen Cavendish relegated for less than that

 

[Machu Picchu]

Sagan not getting it his own way, teaches him for his earlier disrespect tbh but Goss does deserve a punishment for that.

disrespect? where? not his celebrations surely?

 

[kanari]

Sagan not happy and with good reason IMO

 

[egtalbot]

LOL from Phil with 2K to go "The way he's riding right now, Wiggins could win this group sprint."

Yeah, Goss better be relegated for that. Otherwise, no point in having rules about holding your line.

 

[Morbius]

Seen AleJet get away with much more

Sagan, and beautiful italian words

i think it was not italian, it was slovak, it was "kurva"

 

[will10]

Not sure about the Goss-Sagan situation. Hoping Goss isn't relegated to keep the fight for green close.

"The sport is as clean as it's ever been. Four British stage wins, we're clean riders and we're dominating the Tour de France."

 

[CobbleStoner]

stupid move by Goss, those extra points aren't worth the retaliation that may come at a later date, Sagan is a young, emotional rider on an Italian team, stupid move

 

[kareeem]

i think it was not italian, it was slovak, it was "kurva"

Nope, "vaffanculo".

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Oh sure, clean as it's ever been. Right.

Having said that, let's keep the doping talk where it belongs. Plenty of threads in the clinic about it.

"The sport is as clean as it's ever been. Four British stage wins, we're clean riders and we're dominating the Tour de France."

Wiggins will no doubt wish Millar kept his mouth shut!

 

[VeloCity]

"The sport is as clean as it's ever been. Four British stage wins, we're clean riders and we're dominating the Tour de France."

Tom Simpson.

I respect you, you are one of the few british out here who isn't a massive sky fan.

 

[pastronef]

I'm overjoyed!!!

I thought- what a dream Would it be to see Millar win today- when the break formed...

HE WON!!!!

so happy for him and garmin

well done David, i was shouting at the tv!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[T-Nielsen]

i think it was not italian, it was slovak, it was "kurva"

I am not fluent in slovakian but I think "kurva" means "Fluffy Rabbit".

 

[dlwssonic]

Nice win by millar!
One of the british riders I like.

 

[Blakeslee]

I really hate stages with profiles like this one. I realize every stage can't be mountaintop finishes, but what is the point of even including the two category one climbs when they are so far away from the finish? There's almost no chance the overall contenders will race the climbs and it turns into a parade, almost like watching the sprinters group just riding fast enough to make the time cut.

 

[will10]

Tom Simpson.

Yes, 45 years ago today, that's what "inspired" Millar to come out with that interesting comment.

 

[tomorrow]

I am not fluent in slovakian but I think "kurva" means "Fluffy Rabbit".

i don't know what is fluffy rabit, but "kurva" very awful word in slovak for prostitute, much more pejorative than english b****

 

[vcampbell]

i think it was not italian, it was slovak, it was "kurva"

I'm sure, that he said "vaffanculo", and something more at the end, but I know only a little in italian, so what was the other word I don't know.

 

[TomasC]

I am not fluent in slovakian but I think "kurva" means "Fluffy Rabbit".

Well I imagine "Fluffy Rabbit" could have insulted Goss much more, the real meaning however is not so creative (and frankly quite obvious in that situation).

So that Pescheux and Prudhomme can boast about having 26 categorised climbs this Tour and that the route isn't too unbalanced and TT heavy.

i don't know what is fluffy rabit, but "kurva" very awful word in slovak for prostitute, much more pejorative than english b****

It's the same in every slavic language.

Wiggins will no doubt wish Millar kept his mouth shut!

This might give you a better insight into Wiggins
