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

[auscyclefan94]

Liquigas should get organised and make it hard for Knees to get back on.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Wiggins kind of hits the front!

 

[will10]

Johnnyyyyyyyyy

 

[hrotha]

that was a beautiful example of why cycling is great, the eldest most respected member of the break went to Nibbs and said 'what the hell are you doing? either work or go back to the peloton, now'

I doubt he told him to pull.

 

[vcampbell]

No help for Zubeldia!!!

Radioshack team classification > Zubeldias 5th place.

 

[Machu Picchu]

Nibali probably decided that staying with sky in the decent was boring as hell, and he decided to have some fun

Nibali does indeed find sky to be a tedious bunch:

"From the outside it seems to me like a bit of a "cold" team../..even when we came across them on Mount Teide, their tables were a lot more silent than ours."

 

[tomorrow]

i've noticed sagain in the peloton again? has he descended madly again? I had to go to a meeting so I missed some action? Or is the peloton again together?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Vino going up the road!

 

[Red Rick]

Johnny Hoogerland and Vino with a big **** You to Wiggins who doesn't want attacks

 

[iZnoGouD]

This is ridiculous. Finally something seemed to happen, but no...

do you think he had any chance? he still us something for us in the last descent

 

[JibberJim]

Surprised no-one in BMC or Astana put the pressure on a bit to make it tough for Zubeldia to get back.

 

[Red Rick]

And the award for the least combatitive rider goes to Bradley Wiggins

 

[Lexman]

Leipheimer in an escape group .... it's gonna snow today i guess

 

[auscyclefan94]

And the award for the least combatitive rider goes to Bradley Wiggins

No ****!

 

[maltiv]

CAS still has a chance to steal KOM from Voeckler!

 

[vcampbell]

CAS seems like he is gonna die in every minute, but I have a bet, that he will be one of the best from the break, again...

 

[Mellow Velo]

Shouldn't BMC be riding to kill of Haimar?

LOL: Piti stands no chance of the stage, with "Over the Top" Voeckler in the group.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Liquigas put some pressure on the front now? Like I said!

 

[JibberJim]

That was nice of Nibali to shake hands with piti and return to the bunch - only to stick his team straight on the front of it...

 

[Arnout]

Speculation only, but maybe Valverde and Nibali made a deal. "Sit back now, and I'll help you when you attack later".

Good call indeed.

 

[personal]

NIbali would have been silly to continue on.

Shame he didn't have somebody in breakaway. Sagan would be perfect.
Maybe they can send somebody now. There is more decending before big climb.

 

[Danilot]

This always happens.

I know, but that doesn't make it any better.

 

[maltiv]

Voeckler has been in the breakaway 3 days in a row now.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Liquigas turning the pace!

 

[kjetilraknerud]

I think Nibali wants to win this stage.
