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

[Froome19]

Costa seems more talented than Voeckler ever was and he seems to be more of a climber than Voeckler, I doubt he will be as attacking considering he is a better TT and climber

 

[El Pistolero]

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

I get too depressed of flat sprint stages and Sagan wins.

 

[superconfex]

TV lol one last hurrah

 

[Froome19]

Aaaaand the break is gone...

Maybe not ...

 

[Froome19]

This is why all stages like this should be televised from the begining

 

[Kwibus]

Here's Johny

and Sagan.....

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

[will10]

Where's the "it's easy to get in the break" crowd gone?

 

[The Barb]

Pierrick!!!! Go boy go!

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Where's the "it's easy to get in the break" crowd gone?

It's easy if you're Jens Voigt.

 

[Kwibus]

Where's the "it's easy to get in the break" crowd gone?

Well it was in the first flat stages. It obviously wasn't going to be today.

p.s. while the bunch goes like madmen it's Voigt who is able to stay away...

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Go Perrick Fedrigo !!

 

[Froome19]

Where's the "it's easy to get in the break" crowd gone?

It is easy on the first couple of flat sprint stage on stages like these which are very likely going to a break it is very competitive.

 

[Froome19]

A bit Grupetto forming atm.

CVV also coming across

 

[Kwibus]

Kruijswijk, Fedrigo, Devenijns and vandevelde.

 

[Froome19]

Kruisjiwik also attacking he certainly has a chance for this stage

 

[cineteq]

Can somebody sort this out????? Who's in the break, who's chasing????

 

[Kwibus]

Can somebody sort this out????? Who's in the break, who's chasing????

Constantly changing.

Oh my.. new break. No Rabo..

 

[Froome19]

Albasini and Sagan also having a go, it seems as if Sagan is determined to get the intermediate sprint points.

 

[vcampbell]

Where's the "it's easy to get in the break" crowd gone?

Have you seen the profile? As I see everyone wants to be in the break, because it's easy to predict, that they could survive.

 

[Froome19]

Cineteq it is all over the place atm.

It may take a while to calm down but there are a lot of teams going for it

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Calm now, this should be it for the next hours.

 

[Froome19]

There is a big break now at 20 seconds.

Albasini is the man really pushing it at the front with Voigt ahead of them
