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

[SantiBotero]

So ironic that the most selfish team actually wins the team classification.

 

[Mellow Velo]

EBH not so much dropped as fell asleep at the wheel.

 

[JibberJim]

Sky should turn the screw on RadioShack and go hard with 3 riders to take the team classification, really screw up their day.

 

[webvan]

Great teamspirit with Radioshack. zubeldia left behind by Klöden and co

Kloden rides only for Ulle and Armstrong...

 

[AtletiSK]

Basso´s pace still too slow... incredible how badly prepared he is for the TdF

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

RSNT going for the most important thing in the TDF

The Mighty Team Classification.

Precarious 17 minute lead, so you can understand them ****ing Zubeldia over. Not like he's ever helped any of the 'leaders' currently doing the dirty on him.

 

[Bala Verde]

I booked annual leave for this

You should have come to the boards when the route was announced... Then you would have been advised not to do that

 

[Califootman]

EBH gone... SKY down to 4 men in the final group of 20. Clearly they are on the ropes!!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So recap....

Liquigas rides all day to go for stage-victory. Valverde says f.ck you. Liquigas fails.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Right, Shaft Next Team mate.

 

[Yingge]

Pinot and TJVG (and Evans) still in the MJ group.

 

[burning]

Vanendert is bored and goes to pursuit Piti

 

[Bala Verde]

Funny. He was said to have dropped on the previous col.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

EBH gone... SKY down to 4 men in the final group of 20. Clearly they are on the ropes!!

Down to 6 men if you count the two Liquigas muppets working for them.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Rogers cracked by Basso

 

[will10]

Funny. He was said to have dropped on the previous col.

He was at the very rear of the group at the bottom, perhaps a mechanical?

Super Michael is dropped

 

[Netserk]

Don't even remember them. Whatever it's 4 if you're right. Doesn't seem 3 was a silly thing to say.

The day after PdB, where Vino won the stage, and a failed attempt on the Galibier I think, though I don't really remember it that well

 

[franciep10]

what a horrible route this year not even one of the mtf have been steep enough or long enough to make any differences

 

[will10]

Brajkovic dropped

 

[JibberJim]

Rogers off the back

 

[Yingge]

Rogers goes out the back.

 

[cineteq]

So recap....

Liquigas rides all day to go for stage-victory. Valverde says f.ck you. Liquigas fails.

Where did you get the idea they're riding for a stage win?

 

[Cervelo77]

Basso´s pace still too slow... incredible how badly prepared he is for the TdF

Hey, has anyone seen Dennis Menchov?

 

[burning]

Where did you get the idea they're riding for a stage win?

Because gaining 20 seconds on Sky duo is useless at this point?

 

[sultanofhyd]

Where did you get the idea they're riding for a stage win?

Right now I'm getting the idea they don't know what they are riding for..
