2012 Tour de France: Stage 17, Bagnères-de-Luchon - Peyragudes 143.5KM

[Broth3r]

Rui Costa said he was in shape yesterday, but got screwed by the heat, like Evans. No heat today, fellas.

Weening attacks on his patented 56x10 gear

 

[For The World]

Phil Liggett just confused Peter Weening with Johnny Hoogerland. Someone get him some glasses!

 

[barmaher]

Are Zubeldia and Evans still in the Groupe MJ?

 

[webvan]

Yes

Basso needs to speed things up ASAP

Current Liqui guy (Neers ?) looks like he's about to die!

 

[Lexman]

Coppel is blowing up again

Garmin is interested in Coppel, if it goes the same way as the other french one at Garmin

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Edvald Hagen still there while climbers are dropping left and right. LOL

I accidentally flicked onto ITV 4 yesterday. I prefer Harmon & Kelly & have done for years. I was shocked at how geriatric Liggett looks these days.

EBH is overrated as classic rider but he's underrated as everything else

He's been following the Tour for 40 years, and still hasn't caught up.

his best performances always seem to come on col weather, but i don't think the break has enough time unfortunately

 

[Christomir]

Just tuning in and I'm confused :S Which group are the favorites in and what groups are ahead of them?

Yeah he's gone downhill pretty quick. Still, Paul seems to still have his wits about him for the most part.

Go Nibali, Go!
It will be too late on final climb.

 

[cocteau_ireland]

yeah it seems that he seems to have problems in hot weather, when he won on Verbier it wasn't hot and in the end of the race he was in difficulty because of the heat

looking good for him today

 

[stazzy]

how is ebh still there

 

[Kwibus]

If Sky had done the work more people would've dropped

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

If Sky had done the work more people would've dropped

Doubt it. Sky would have let the group go to 10 minutes and we'd have Knees in front now

Shame.

He fronted up the C4 T de F highlights program in the 80's so I'll forgive him for his more recent indiscretions.

Cummon Nibbles!

Garmin is interested in Coppel, if it goes the same way as the other french one at Garmin

That would be Le Mevel (had to look him up...) who became useless under JV's guidance, odd...

Weening attacks on his patented 56x10 gear

Nice. The patented Tony Martin TT Trasher gear.

Your right indeed. It's just awful to see Sky with 5 guys still up there :/

Ten Dam keeps 5mg of spit inside his locket; just in case
