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

Impressive by Froome. Good ride by Nibali too.

Why? We have even more reason to hate them now.

I dont like them either, but you cant say that they are weak or will be dropped in mountains etc

 

[Cervelo77]

Respect Fabian.

First ever win for an African at the tour?

[Vino attacks everyone]

Let s look at the positive side... Vino beat Valverde today!

Its so sad that a **** like wiggins rather than a gentleman like froome will become first british tdf winner.

 

[Publicus]

This Tour is over. How many days until the Vuelta?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

I really hope that mechanical on Stage 1 doesn't cost Froome.

 

[meat puppet]

You have to laugh, otherwise you'll cry.

Ditto. Guess that's it for me as far as this TDF goes.

This is more silly than this:

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Boring stage, 30 seconds between favourites, Wiggins 3 minutes behind, Tour is not the Dauphine.

 

[the asian]

I hope Froome wins the tour

That'll be great!

 

[SafeBet]

I have never been a bigger Evans fan than I am right now.

Same for me with Nibbles

 

[SetonHallPirate]

Time gaps shouldn't be an issue here. 35 minutes, 49 seconds is the time limit.

 

[stazzy]

all the sky haters hiding now?

hurr durr

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Nibali loses 5" to Wiggo - right in the AZZ !

First ever win for an African at the tour?

Robbie Hunter won a stage few years ago.

 

[franciep10]

I can't believe I'm actually cheering for cadel

 

[jilbiker]

I hope Froome wins the tour

I am still staying with my prediction that someone unexpected will win. Froome is clearly a better climber than Wiggins. There may be a quiet in house fight that will start. Froome lost Vuelta due to "waiting' for Wiggins. I doubt that he will let it happen twice...

Yeah forgot about that

Dunno, is Froome riding that too? I might watch it if he is.

Robbie hunter comes to mind.

he is more explosive... wiggins was the second strongest.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

If anyone likes value, Evans is still favourite for the Tour on betfair.

I presume it's on a 30 minute time lag.

 

[happytramp]

So, Evan's can't drop Wiggan's on the climbs and can't keep up on the TT's. This leaves the marginal gains on the descents for Evan's to make up time. It's still early but it's looking very like Wiggan's tour to lose.
