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

[Falken]

Maybe Canc just isn't so superstrong this year, remember that Kessiakoff beat him in TdS on a similiar course.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Naww this obviously what happens when you get a swimmer coach yo

 

[TourOfSardinia]

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

lol - somethings are just too sacred to discard.

 

[Mellow Velo]

VDB not great.

I'd be a little concerned that Evans lost much of the time on the climb.
The gap is now going out very slowly.

 

[Fetisoff]

Menchov loses another 20 seconds to Froome at 2nd checkpoint

Slower than Brajkovic

 

[Pippo_San]

What's Wigans secret you say?
High cadence?
Swimming coach?
No he keeps on listening to "Yellow Submarine".

 

[vcampbell]

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

If a young popular rider does an outstanding performance, than a ride of his life. When a hated rider does than he is cheating, etc...
That's how the world is working.

 

[Pharazon]

wiggins slowing down.... think he might lose some time to cadel from now on

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Evans pegging Wiggins now

 

[will10]

They do like getting Monfort's name wrong.

 

[El Pistolero]

Froome will beat Contador at the Vuelta with his hands in his nose at this rate.

 

[Unkown]

Nice time by Monfort

 

[Hayabusa]

Nice work from Froome, epic performance in fact. Podium contender for sure now.

 

[Arnout]

This must be a slam in the face of Cancellara. Beyond redicilous.

 

[will10]

Vroome .

 

[Fetisoff]

Ahahahahahahahahhahahaha

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Bravo froome

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

So Froome went out hard and hung on.

 

[cineteq]

Bravo froome

LOL - it's all I have to say.

 

[Falken]

Canc is Vroomed.

 

[TheEnoculator]

Froome beats Cancellara! Wow. That's unexpected.

 

[Publicus]

Froome. I'm speechless

 

[Fetisoff]

Where can I get myself some of those Schistosoma things? Obviously they make you go ridiculously fast

 

[Arnout]

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

Let's keep it clean here....

Its not clean on my screen either.

 

[VeloMaster]

This must be a slam in the face of Cancellara. Beyond redicilous.

With due respect, that's absurd. Just look at the parcours. This is not an ideal course for FC. Yes, a great ride by Froome (and, apparently by Wiggins) but no need to lose all perspective.
