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

[Marco Pantani]

Mui stupido. Sky

He would have put a minute into him I guess. Full of anger.

 

[Danilot]

F*ck the team.

F*ck the team and then cash in the team's cheques?

 

[CatsNK]

This is garbage. I gotta watch the best rider look back 30 times in the last 3k of the final mountain stage and ultimately not win the stage to avoid making Wiggins look like a b*tch. F*ck the team. Ride away and show who's boss

You have to wonder. Is he afraid no other team would touch him if he wasn't a "team player"?

 

[For The World]

I foresee Froome constantly on his radio during the time trial, with the team making sure he's JUST behind Wiggins at all the time checks.

Could this be another Fignon/LeMond style time trial result?

 

[will10]

He's had 2 forgettable years already I think, not?

But Hitch told us he'd take it to Bradley. I am disappoint.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

What a joke. I've never been this gutted by the final of a stage. Froome was so much better... pfff

 

[Pricey_sky]

Sky 1-2 secured. Brilliant stuff. Would Froome have taken at least 2 minutes on Wiggo today? Don't think so.

 

[Ramira]

TJ fell off a bit in the final km. Top 4 sorted.

I'm not totally sure about that. He's about 2 and a half minutes behind VDB and took about 2 minutes in the first TT. It will probably be the only thing left to fight over in the TT.

 

[Morbius]

Could Froome have made 2-3 minutes on Wiggins on two finishes? Might have been close

Froome will destroy everyone in the ITT.

 

[AtletiSK]

looking forward to Olympics, la Vuelta and WCH... the great three races of the season... Giro was pretty good, too... but this TdF? very, very average GC-wise

 

[Peccio89]

Wiggins says "Thank you Liquigas". What a joke.

Liquigas made up a perfect bluff, working all day in order to cover Nibali bad day.

 

[cycladianpirate]

You make a decision - you stick with that decision. That's fair enough. It's a team event.

 

[maxmartin]

both W and F look total idiots on the screen, even W win this tour, it will be said it is gifted by F. I wonder how he is going to feel about it. What a joke!

 

[straydog]

I hope froome punches wiggins.

Armstrong was less evil.

Mate? Really?

I think you have lost a bit of perspective here.

Really it's saying more about you defending and continuing to support Contador and then accusing Wiggins of being "evil" for getting a tow from his domestique.

Remember 1'20 of that was lost in a puncture on stage 3. What could've been eh.

 

[CasperVg]

VDB 2'37" ahead of vGarderen, probably not enough to hold him off in the 50km time trial.

 

[kurtinsc]

Sky 1-2 secured. Brilliant stuff. Would Froome have taken at least 2 minutes on Wiggo today? Don't think so.

He would have taken the stage win.

Why not give him the stage and let him take 40-50 seconds on Wiggins? What would be the harm in that?

 

[Dr.Sahl]

What a boring GC race this year and what a stupid call from Froome, he will lose his only chance at ever winning the tour ^^


Ohhh well atleast Voeckler is fun watching

This was surely the last stage I wanted to watch this year.

 

[Warhawk]

"No changes to the overall standings except for time gaps. Also, Tejay van Garderen moves up into 5th."

Thanks Phil.

 

[Publicus]

i hope wiggins thanks froome for giving him the tour. Seriously.

+10000000000

not sure about this one there is quite a flat section, but on the stage where F attacked 1 min at least F can make

 

[For The World]

Oh noes... ANTHONY TAN! The worst commentator in world cycling.

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Wiggins will feel great about it. Because in 5 years nobody will remember Froome being stronger, but everyone will remember Wiggins winning.

 

[metaCYCLE]

so that's it then Friggins made the double in this Tour.
