2012 Tour de France: Stage 9: Arc-et-Senans → Besançon (ITT) (41.5 km)

[will10]

What's the irony please ?

Think about what you appear not to be able to see, what you're "blind" to.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Shall we just move this thread in the clinic. I've no doubts anymore.

Yeah, narrowly beating TJVG, bloody ridiculous.

I honestly can't believe people can't see how weak the level of competition is this year, so they want to believe some people are supersonic.

 

[therhodeo]

Since Andy probably won't be there, or be in form if he is there, it is going to be a Contador exhibition. In other words, about as competitive as this Tour is looking?

Thats assuming Contador comes back 100% of his old self. Zero race miles this season will probably take care of that.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Nibali/Zubeldia are out-TTing Evans.

Tell the whole story Evans is **** today and makes look Brad much better.

If you can't see that - you're blind people.

This.
Even ACF, posting in the other place can see it, too.
A bad day.

Is there someone who knows, that the tailwind is stronger than it was for Cancellara, or not?

The official ticker still has it listed at 10kp/h, which is the same. The first 20% of riders had it at 5 but the weather seems to have been pretty stable all day.

 

[patrick767]

Disgusting? Why? Sky happens to have two of the best GT riders right now. Deal with it. That and don't be surprised if Froome leaves for another team next year so he can have sole leadership.

Evans has been fully expected to challenge them and unfortunately he's off his game today.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Contador where art thou

I guess he attending the 101 lesson on how to TT

 

[Falken]

Obviously Froome did a very strong climb, more flat he is losing some time to Tejay and Canc.

Btw should mods not do something ? There were threads that included one post about dope and were moved. Here ,you can see plenty right now - and they/you ( mods ) do nothing.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Doping. Seriously beating Cancellara...

Is that they guy Wiggins beat at the worlds ITT last year when Wiggins, and who spent most of this year injured?

 

[TheEnoculator]

If Wiggo took half a minute out of Cancellara after 16.5 km, then the Tour is in the bag for him.

You know, there's that little "Report" button, right?

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Doping. Seriously beating Cancellara...

Funny how noone said anything when TJVG was up on Cancellara and nearly beat him?

 

[SiAp1984]

Wiggins absolutely untouchable Impressive. I wonder how fast he would be able to go hadn't he those unaerodynamical sideburns...

 

[Warhawk]

Tejay takes white. Was 1:41 back, beat Taaramae by 2:23.

Taaramae I believe holds onto second place by 3 seconds over Gallopin. Pinot falls back a bit.

 

[woodburn]

Wiggins out of the saddle!

 

[Aristarchus]

Wiggins and Froome are on-form and dominating. Evans is having a crap day, and while it makes Sky look better, they'd look good today no matter what.

 

[maxmartin]

Doping. Seriously beating Cancellara...

only idiots can't see that

 

[El Pistolero]

Is that they guy Wiggins beat at the worlds ITT last year when Wiggins, and who spent most of this year injured?

He didn't start this year

And Cancellara was actually beating Wiggins before he took a wrong corner at the Worlds. And I'm talking about Chris Froome.

 

[Gloin22]

only idiots can't see that

Van Garderen is doped as hell then, yeah ? Wiggins and Froome beat Cancellara at Vuleta TT if you don't remeber too

 

[iwasonbwh]

Can I just say well done to Nico in an event that he normally struggles in . Makes for a nice change from watching Froome and Brad taking the ****

 

[Warhawk]

Funny how noone said anything when TJVG was up on Cancellara and nearly beat him?

Because Tejay being up 3 seconds on Cancellara was a lot more believable than Froome up... 27 I think?

 

[Bala Verde]

Please guys. Move the doping conversation to the designated thread(s) in the clinic.

Let's keep it clean here....

 

[Trunnions]

Wiggins out of the saddle!

THREE Olympic Gold Medals, and counting...

 

[gthx_gthx_]

Is that they guy Wiggins beat at the worlds ITT last year when Wiggins, and who spent most of this year injured?

Cancellera was nowhere near his top form during the worlds ITT. Crashing almost everywhere.

You can deny that he is much better today. And Wiggo will still beat the crap out of him.

Not saying that wiggo is doped though.
