2012 Tour de France: Stage 6: Épernay → Metz (207.5km)

[Kwibus]

Last year was crap. This year is crap.

Next Tour I want all GC teams up front. Let's all try to keep your GC man at the front. So that it will be even worse next year. Great.

I'm so fed up with this right now.

 

[cineteq]

Nibali is reported in the front group

 

[the asian]

Why isn't this being neutralized like the stage to Spa... ?

Cancellara has suddenly thought that he can win Le Tour

 

[Ragerod]

greipel in the front group according to Harmon.

Just heard but someone said he wasn't going to contest the sprint. This may have changed his mind.

 

[Azabael]

what's your problem? it's life, it's racing

what?????haven't heard this one...

Naturally.

 

[dgodave]

Pfff the latest man alive will win the tour.

They will paint the bike one side yellow and one side red.

[Kazistuta]

This crash is pretty much going to ruin GC completely and make it a 2 man race between Evans and Wiggins

+ Nibali, Leipheimer, Klöden, Menchov & Sanchez.....okay, might not believe it myself, but the best of the outsiders are still in the front peloton.

 

[glassmoon]

hesjedal - 7min back

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Ryder H 7mins back

 

[woodburn]

Green Edge. Yuck.

 

[Aristarchus]

Hesjedal @ 7 minutes back...disastrous

 

[Kwibus]

Time to put a TT of 40k and a serious climb stage in the first week.

 

[Pippo_San]

Hesjedal down 7 mins...goodbye GC

 

[c&cfan]

[on3m@n@rmy]

Ryder is 7 min back. His tour is done

 

[Frosty]

Cav in the Valverde group. 1.42 to the peloton so they wont get back,

And who among the men held up, could have challenged them in your opinion?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Poels hasn't abandoned after all

Astarloza has, though.

 

[FujiAnton]

Nibali with Evans and Wiggins.

 

[Frosty]

gallopin in the front group i think. Not seen him working much this week but i guess he must have done at some point.

 

[c&cfan]

And who among the men held up, could have challenged them in your opinion?

Besides nibali and menchov or samu?

 

[the asian]

Poels still in the race.

 

[Netserk]

Naturally.

+1 Nice
