2012 Tour de France - stage 3: Orchies - Boulogne-sur-Mer (197km)

[Captain Sensible]

He cut off van Hummel

Thanks .....

 

[Bala Verde]

Peraud punctures.

 

[cineteq]

I don't think Van Hummel is really at fault here. Cavendish did get pinched, but it wasn't as if Van Hummel was riding dangerously; he was just in the way of Cavendish. I think Cavendish just likes to yell at second-rate sprinters who try to mix it up.

Finally someone who see things with objectivity.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Yeah, Movistar getting it in the neck for putting one rider on the front.
Sunday, we had BMC and Sky all on the front, when the Movistar boys were in a crash and....................nothing.

JC Peraud new wheel.

 

[vcampbell]

Classic Moviestar pacing after a crash.

Only they have got the experience how to do this

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Hincapie also punctured.

Did someone drop a bag of tags?

Peraud too

 

[Bala Verde]

Sivtsov out

abandon

 

[Mellow Velo]

Sivtsov abandons.

 

[Frosty]

Sivtsov retired

Well, wouldn't that be called... Karma? Moviestar does it every time.

I'm not saying it's good or bad. It gives us great cycling. But it's definitely not a popular thing to do in the peloton.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

****ty luck for Siutsov.

 

[the asian]

So one less guy for UK Postal.

 

[Trofinios]

Sheeeet! Sivtsov out.

 

[cineteq]

****ty luck for Siutsov.

Sky wake up and smell the coffee, this is not Dauphiné.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Sivtsov abandons.

1 down from UKPostal

sorry for the repeats - this forum is slow a porridge for me, in July

 

[Bala Verde]

Kittel running on fumes.

Pandemonium today.

 

[vcampbell]

Oh yes, it always a happy thing, when a rider goes down, and have to abandon...

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Always nice to see people taking pleasure out of rider's getting injuries.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Bigger loss for Cav than Wiggins - they always had slack resource for the mountains, but much less chance of a few guys being loaned on the next few days now.

 

[JRanton]

So one less guy for UK Postal

Ban this stupid ****

 

[The Sheep]

Oh yes, it always a happy thing, when a rider goes down, and have to abandon...

That's not what he said?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Sky wake up and smell the coffee, this is not Dauphiné.

and you are the guy that blathers on about objectivity?

Never happy to see a guy crash out.
Poor form to make fun under such circumstance.
Remember what happened to Ryo.

 

[Catwhoorg]

Thats a real blow Sivstov is a real engine, would be a key part of the chase team to defend any yellow jersey

Hope its nothing too serious.

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

That's not what he said?

Yes it was.

 

[Machu Picchu]

Yes, and the uk press not much better - cyclingnews/roadcyclinguk etc
