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

[Libertine Seguros]

EBH getting used up before the climb, shame.

The climb's only 6km long though, even if he peels off before the gradients start in earnest they've got enough bullets in the gun.

Lol HIncapie the mountain goat. Is it 2005?

 

[Publicus]

And now a split in the peleton. And look at this BMC is disrupting the train (or maybe Hincapie is feeling nostalgic)

 

[stazzy]

nice towing by EBH

No Philistine talk in the race thread. It's in the TOS.

Speaking of which, this stage isn't turning out anything like I expected. I like it!

thanks for the link

It's more amusing when a sprinter drops the first few riders though.
