2012 Tour de France: Stage 7: Tomblaine → La Planche des Belles Filles (199km)

[Maxiton]

what a vulgarity that chapel is

You're talking about the Le Corbusier chapel? You're kidding, right?

 

[Sciatic]

All the streams I'm trying are stuttering badly. That true for other folks?

 

[The Chicken]

Harmon is mad about him. Anyone know if Harmon is part Irish?

I meant Phil n Paul, didn't realise Harmon was too lol

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

No Bernie, you missed the point, he was being shoved by fellow competitors, not his Team, or spectators.

In any case, try stopping spectators giving their heroes a shove on the hills, happens constantly. You'd have to DQ the lot!

Exactly, those other teams were trying to get him disqualified by pushing him. *******s!

 

[DominicDecoco]

Getting so tired of Frank. In an interview before the start he said that he hadn't slept, couldn't breathe because of rib pains and was sore on his shoulder. Interviwer then said " so it's basically just getting through the stage for you today?"

Frank: " ah, we'll see.."

Always something to fall down on if he fails...

 

[maxmartin]

what are they saying? mad because nibali dares to think he is better than their beloved brit?

lose massive time in time trail, easily dropped by Wiggins in climbing. sean kelly said in his mind, Nibali don't even have a place for podium, JVDB is his choice for third place.

 

[Christomir]

He will only attack if he sees others suffer. Otherwise, i think he will just counterattack and maybe work together to gap others. I don't see him take off on his own. Compared to his main competitors, he's doing pretty ok (vs Mollema, Gesink, Valverde, Schleck...). I'm talking about timeloss obviously.

They did add, that he also acknowledged that he would need to attack.

Why not? Is he so strong in the TT, that he wouldn't need to make any time gap on Bradley and Cadel here?

Bernie is a troll.

 

[Ferminal]

No bonuses >>>>>>>>>>>> Breakaway.

Fancy that, break is toast. Can't believe the peloton wins a medium mountain stage in the Tour, congrats to Garmin.

 

[the asian]

Any news/views on Jurgen VDB chances today ?

Vanedert should have a better chance for the stage win than VDB.

He'd struggle to be much less Irish than Dan Martin.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Didn't Dan Martin get dropped by Christian Vandevelde when they were chasing the peloton a few days ago ?

 

[Arnout]

Can people shut up talking about Formula 1? I'm recording it, so open your own topic and talk about it there, but not here.

Are really, Phil & Paul are talking him up too. Must be coz he's riding for an American team.

 

[webvan]

Wow, peloton has put the pedal to the metal, reminds me of Hautacam 1996...

Nobody cares about F1 :/

We've already discussed this. Being Stephen Roche's nephew = being 100% Irish....

He didn't say that.

It looked like something that devil would design.

 

[TheEnoculator]

Paul: "it's been a very hard day for Andre Greipel."

No s-h-i-t.

P&P are the only commentators who talk about the sprinters in a mountain stage.

BS. Nibali is a gritty, versatile rider and will find a way onto the podium if it's at all possible.

Yes, but they said Top 5.

Which for me is realstic thing to say, no ?

Also they said he's amazing descender and will gain time in those downhill finishes.

 

[The Chicken]

Doesn't Westra normally win these type of finishes?

Go Leiuweeeee

 

[DominicDecoco]

Paul: "it's been a very hard day for Andre Greipel."

No s-h-i-t.

Okaaay.. Paul can't win if that's a quote to yell about.

I don't care about your opinion. Just don't talk about the race, the results or what not.
