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

[Geraint Too Fast]

Sagan just has to go downhill fast.

 

[Machu Picchu]

Sky trying to tire out the other GC contenders? Looking to break some?

Btw, Sagan still there. impressive climbing.

tour tracker had him as dropped, was a bit disappointed!

 

[vcampbell]

Can someone update on whats happening please?

Wiggins attacked on the top of the climb, but now they are together.

 

[Antianti]

Coppel spotting weakness in the riders in front of him in the overall ranking and pushing to make that gap as big as possible over the top (Rolland, Pinot & ?). Maybe hoping that Radioshack will help the drive as they have the same opportunity. Wiggins giving the finger to Froome and to people doubting him.

 

[vcampbell]

N. Sörensen asked for a permission from Wiggins to attack

Sagan, Voeckler, Basso, Rolland amongst dropped riders.

So is he or isn't he?_?

I mean is he a little behind but likely to make it up on descent?

Ah thanks.

The tracker on here makes ZERO mention of it.

Anyone got a decent tracker?

 

[Montanus]

There has been talk that the wind could cause some problems today. Just think of what Wiggo, Froome, Porte, Rogers and EBH could do in that case.

 

[tomorrow]

Sagan just has to go downhill fast.

he's probably going for the intermediate sprint, as there is only 1 minute to the escape, he might think he will get to them himself

 

[stazzy]

Sagan will catch the others on the descent.

Sagan is in front of Wiggins group, so he wasn't dropped, only a few meters, but now he is gone by a ~half min. He is descending like no tomorrow.

he could easily win the stage now, just flat.

'Man Sagan vs. Motor.


Way too close.

Thanks, appreciated!

And actually that's why this Tour is so bad. If there would be 2 more moutains (not with a MTF by all means, but the last moutain top from ~20 km to the finish), then this could be a very entertaining stage.

 

[taiwan]

What happenend to the new helmets?

But it would be brutual like the big bad Giro

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Teak sky should try ttt for like 30 km.
