2012 Tour de France: Stage 8: Belfort → Porrentruy (157.5km)

[Froome19]

Gilbert, Chavanel and others in a strong break but Astana chasing.

No chance for the break, this may be the case for the next 50km

Aaaaand the break is gone...

 

[Frosty]

Riblon and Westra up front too.

 

[Frosty]

Chavanel at 2.22, Rui Costa at 2.25 overall

 

[Froome19]

Vichot bridging to the break

 

[The Barb]

Aaaaand the break is gone...

Wouldn't be completely sure just yet. Astana working.

 

[Kwibus]

Wouldn't be completely sure just yet. Astana working.

It's 11 vs 4 though.

And there are a few very strong riders in that break as well.

 

[El Pistolero]

Stupid Astana.

 

[wirral]

Matty Lloyd ftw

Fell off in the neutral zone, I'm afraid. Time for him to lick his wounds and try again another day.

 

[Netserk]

Awesome break! Go Chava!
The only one missing is VINO

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

If Astana won't let this go it could get pretty ugly soon.

Verdugo already stuffed for the time limit by the looks of it.

 

[Frosty]

Not looking good for Verdugo. If Astana give up the chase then he may get back on.

 

[Kwibus]

If Astana won't let this go it could get pretty ugly soon.

Verdugo already stuffed for the time limit by the looks of it.

They are losing ground though. It could be that some attackers from the bunch that go up pretty well will attack though.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Why in the world is Millar going in a break the day before a TT.

 

[El Pistolero]

Yay Phil and Chava in a break!

 

[cineteq]

Chavanel at 2.22, Rui Costa at 2.25 overall

Will Costa be the new Voeckler? I hope so.

 

[Kwibus]

No surprise. Curvers allready has to let go.

Wrong guy in the break. Allthough only Koen de Kort could actually be part of that group from Argos.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Gap coming down. Astana really going mental.

 

[Froome19]

Verdugo battling bravely

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Wiggins about to spin over the gap.

Someone please remind me the Tour is not the Dauphine.

 

[superconfex]

Astana killing it trying to get in the break..could be a good stage this

 

[cineteq]

Yay Phil and Chava in a break!

Finally we get to see you in the stage threads You spend too much time in the Cav/Sagan thread...

 

[Kwibus]

As I expected. Attack from Astana riders.

EBH joining them??

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

CAS is so recognizable.

 

[Kwibus]

If this continues for a while it's going to be total mayhem
