2012 Tour de France: Stage 16: Pau → Bagnères-de-Luchon, 197 km

[webvan]

Van Garderen completely hunched over but he hanging in there. Very promising.

And totally unexpected after seeing his Mount Blady climb !

 

[bubblegum]

with TJVG and Phinny BMC could have a good few all around years

 

[TatryTour2013]

Is Sagan in the group before Evans? Is that possible?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

And totally unexpected after seeing his Mount Blady climb !

Or any other climb.

He's doing well the last 2 mountain stages

 

[Bala Verde]

Good thing for tomorrow

VDB2 needs to do something

Bad thing

Evans doesn't have to do anything anymore.

Both teams however, nor LIQ, have good enough teams maybe to make the race hard.

 

[Arnout]

One minute for Vdb and Haimar.

 

[Eshnar]

the descent is a highway with a total of 4 bends.

 

[vcampbell]

Evans 5 minutes behind.

 

[The Joker]

VDB & TJVG 1 minute behind Nibali, Wiggins and Froome, Cadel another 4 minutes back on VDB and TJVG

 

[Bala Verde]

Profile suits Froome tomorrow

And he needs a reward in the form of a stage win.... Would SKY want to ride for that?

 

[Dutchsmurf]

the descent is a highway with a total of 4 bends.

Which is why I wondered why anyone expected Nibali to take time. Even a bad descender won't lose much time here.

And didn't Froome win a stage already?

 

[tomorrow]

Is Sagan in the group before Evans? Is that possible?

I don't think so, it's just probably not being displayed correctly in the tour tracker

 

[trevim]

And he needs a reward in the form of a stage win.... Would SKY want to ride for that?

I don't know but everyday seems like breakaway day

 

[its like that]

Disgusting sight to see Voeckler celebrating

 

[vcampbell]

And he needs a reward in the form of a stage win.... Would SKY want to ride for that?

No, but maybe in the time trial Wiggins will slow down

 

[webvan]

Hope Evans doesn't listen to Lelangue's advice tonight...or if he does he should tape him !

 

[fluffkitten]

So long as I don't have to see his gurning face I'm enjoying Tommy's ride.

 

[iwasonbwh]

TG4 commentator just said that Voeckler is like the Schlecks with all the looking behind him

 

[Arnout]

Voeckler giving a show. Good job to him, one of the few really interesting characters and riders in this Tour.

 

[BullsFan22]

Since when did Voeckler become a climber?

 

[bubblegum]

well rogers wasnt there today and he was hanging off the back going over the tacks mountain as well. porte isnt on the same level as froome and wiggins either, some chinks in the armour?

 

[Arnout]

Disgusting sight to see Voeckler celebrating

Yeah, it is He's the best today live with it.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Voeckler has forgotten to act tired.

 

[Finn84]

Fédrigo: winner in two successive stage finishes in Pau.
Voeckler: winner in two successive stage finishes in Bagnères-de-Luchon

Chapeau Voeckler!
Amazing how he has evolved as a cyclist.
