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

[Publicus]

First ever win for an African at the tour?

I believe he is a UK citizen.

 

[Coramoor]

sucks that Hesjedal got hurt, really curious to see where he would've ended up on today's stage

 

[The Barb]

Looks like evil will prevail.

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

IF Evans couldn't take time out of Wiggins there then where will he? That was the danger stage for Wiggo and the only danger won't be able to take enough time out of him to win the race because he won't be allowed to.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Okay, I take back what I've been saying about Sky.

If they pull this of for three week's I'll be even more astounded than I am now.

 

[Kwibus]

All Sky haters should STFU now

I'm not Sky hater at all, but I could become one.

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

The Tour is hardly over. This is one of the only three summit finishes this year, plus there's 95km of TT left.

 

[Caruut]

Incredible. Just incredible. Not credible.

I wonder who will benefit most from TT's

 

[college]

Menchov what a fail.

Used just to find Bradley a bit irritating, I think this tour could turn me into a full-blown hater.

 

[Clemson Cycling]

I have not seen a team that strong since the Armstrong teams before they were broken up by transfers

Exactly. So basically you are agreeing with him. The only thing that can change things is rain in the mountains and Nibali going seriously crazy.

 

[Mellow Velo]

4 Sky riders in the top 10...............
.........make that top 12 or so.

Brice "off the back" Feillu beats Levi and Teejay.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Incredible. Just incredible. Not credible.

Please post some climb times in the clinic and we can discuss.

People who were the strongest in the prep races are the strongest here; more credible than a magic peak.

 

[The Joker]

Sky now 1st, 9th and 10th overall on GC...

With respect to Wiggins losing time, Wiggins's risk has always been in the third week, when his team is unlikely to be as strong. This race isnt over yet...

 

[will10]

UK Postal. That is all.

 

[Fetisoff]

I get a sneaky suspicion it's gonna be a party over at the "Clinic" tonight

 

[Climbing]

What a classy win! Broom Broom Froome!
Well done Evans, Wiggins and Nibali!
Sorry for the silent killer, but I expected him to lose time.

 

[Frosty]

Saxobank 2008? Sastre and the Schlecks?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

This forum can be really pathetic...

 

[TheEnoculator]

Love the stage today. By far the best over the previous 6 crap stages.

 

[Magnus]

First ever win for an African at the tour?

I'm pretty sure that some Africans from the north-African French colonies have won stages earlier.

 

[The Sheep]

I'm a bradders hater, Go Froome

 

[Publicus]

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

I doubt he will.
