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

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Cav bringing bottles back to Wiggins

I can't think of another world champion who is such a good team player.

Don't think we've had this tedious discussion for at least 15 minutes...

I've seen it all now, complaining about a discussion being started by oneself.

Well, there's nothing else to discuss yet.

A true world champion doesnt act as a domestique though. A true world champion would be bridging up to the break and then drop them all on the climb to take the stage win

Good one, I admire the irony of your comments.

 

[Unkown]

Was expecting to be able to watch live in Canada starting at 9:00, but instead TSN2 is sticking with watching the rain fall at the Grand Priz QUALIFYING.

NBC is also televising it live today in Canada.

Yeah he's dishonouring the jersey, carrying bottles for others. He should attack from the cars, bypass the peloton and bridge directly to the break FTW.

Gap fairly steady at about 5 minutes. 50kms to go, we'll see soon who in the main bunch fancies their chances of a stage win and sends their team to the front to start pulling the leaders back.

Zabriskie near the front, maybe Garmin fancy Dan Martin's chances.

 

[Clemson Cycling]

Why is Zabriske pacing the peloton

 

[icefire]

Lulu educating the fans at the road as Contador did on L'Alpe last year

 

[Kwibus]

Why is Zabriske pacing the peloton

According to dutch commentator Maarten Ducrot, Zabriskies sister husband has a cousin who's cousin is family of Wiggins. Something like that.

Only reason I can think of is that Daniel Martin can win today.

ps nice to see Vorgonov and Sanchez hitting the crowd.

 

[greatking88]

As Sean Kelly said 'Luis Leon's wrist must be fine again'

Looks like Dan Martin fancies his chance today with Zabriskie riding on the front now.

 

[webvan]

DZ pulling for Dan Martin apparently...

 

[mr. tibbs]

As Sean Kelly said [...]

That sentence makes me hate you. Sigh. Back to Phil & Paul.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Maybe we'll see one or two other stage hunting teams come to the front also (Movistar / Lotto ?)

 

[trevim]

Some Movistar rider pushing Van Summeren up the mountain. Nice

 

[Poursuivant]

Why do the garmin tops have that "è"?

 

[burning]

Why do the garmin tops have that "è"?

It's Cervélo's é

 

[Clemson Cycling]

Pacing the peloton does not really seem like an option for the team right now since they are down to 4 1/2 riders but Martin must be feeling amazing for the team to play their limited hand like this

 

[cineteq]

Why do the garmin tops have that "è"?

cervélo + 10 chars

 

[TheEnoculator]

Why do the garmin tops have that "è"?

It's from Cervélo.

So who is the best climber (especially on this type of a MTF) out of this leading group? Albasini? Sanchez? Or maybe even CAS?

 

[dlwssonic]

I'm going to go with evans, nibali or samu for the win today!
