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

[Mellow Velo]

Must say. Great ride from Voeckler

and CAS

Voeckler and CAS? Mmmmm

 

[will10]

Nibali obviously feeling good.

 

[maltiv]

Nibali might as well wait now and accelerate over the top. He could take a minute or so in the descent.

 

[El Pistolero]

VDB2...disappointing !

He's always bad after a rest day.

 

[richwagmn]

Except Contador is currently banned for cheating so it's a moot point isn't it friend?

Enjoy your 1 yellow jersey for Wiggins.

 

[cineteq]

Nice try Nibali, what is Froome doing ?

It's not over.

 

[fluffkitten]

Can Nibali gain anything down the hill?

 

[CatsNK]

Haven't seen Vino for some time.

 

[Arnout]

Valverde found his form, a bit.

 

[bubblegum]

anyone else keep glancing at CAS and think court for arbitration of sport?

 

[Bala Verde]

Nibali to jump before the mountain top to get a head start on the descent.

 

[its like that]

Just to take the **** Wiggins should attack on the descent

 

[DominicDecoco]

Froom looks up.. Froome looks down... Froome looks up... Froome looks down...

I'm getting mental watching that.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

VDB2...disappointing !

Jurgen Vandenbroeck is always weak after a rest day

 

[will10]

Evans group at 3.01 to Wiggins group

 

[The Joker]

well it looks like we are going to find out once and for all just how well Wiggo and Froome descend - lets see if they can keep up with Nibali - I have a feeling they might...

 

[will10]

Froom looks up.. Froome looks down... Froome looks up... Froome looks down...

I'm getting mental watching that.

He's just making sure he doesn't go over the magic 480W

 

[Apollonius]

Enjoy your 1 yellow jersey for Wiggins.

I'm an Andy Schleck fan not a Wiggins fan but nevertheless I'll enjoy Schleck's single yellow jersey for the time being

 

[Ramira]

Evans now more than 3 minutes behind Nibali, Wiggins and Froome. He's going to drop to the second half of the top 5.

 

[Bala Verde]

Evans at 3m already

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Alliances

Nibali allies with Froome & Wiggo

 

[woodburn]

Evans 3:33 behind yellow.

 

[The Hitch]

well it looks like we are going to find out once and for all just how well Wiggo and Froome descend - lets see if they can keep up with Nibali - I have a feeling they might...

Its a short descent. Cant see him get more than 30 and dont know if he will get anything.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Evans to ride for TJVG tomorrow?

 

[Ramira]

VDB and TJVG about 40 seconds behind the top 3 of the GC. Van Garderen to be the BMC leader from now on (he should jump Evans in the GC).
