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

Who should stop it, it's you. If you can't accept the fact that riders who you hate are doing good, then this sport is not for you.

I don't hate Froome, Wiggins, or whoever. I was actually saying Froome seems like a good kid. I'm just calling a spade, a spade. What Team Sky just did is eyebrow raising, full stop.

But this is ridiculous, sorry.

I agree, I don't even feel like watching this sham of a race anymore.

 

[perico]

That was an Armstrong-esque whipping.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Harmon over doing the gaps. Big, but not a chasm.
1-53".

Have to agree. The amount of clinic stuff being posted in a race thread is ridiculous.

 

[Ramira]

I like Brad. But this is ridiculous, sorry.

I'm sorry but this is pretty much what he's been doing all year. He took almost exactly the same on Evans as he did in the Dauphine. The only difference is that neither Cancellara nor Martin are at their regular level so it seems more impressive than it truly is.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

I like Brad. But this is ridiculous, sorry.

Chavanel closer to Wiggins than in Dauphine.

Evans slightly further away.

Froome much closer.

Take it like a man you Aussie Wimp!

 

[whittashau]

I can't take this seriously.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

thanks for playing

Evans got 6th it was a pretty ok time for him. He is not that terrible.
He really improved on the second half.
But sky......
I concede defeat.
Do they really want to do it this way???
Come on... I'm starting to wonder if 2009 contador could beat them

 

[DominicDecoco]

Well, good time (I'm talking Menchov) would have been at least no slower than Evans. Which he couldn't produce. Hence - FAIL

Keep on the nonsense. You are good at it.

 

[El Pistolero]

Tour is over folks. Wiggins beating Cancellara by over a minute in an Olympic year. Great stuff.

Cmon, this is over.

 

[stazzy]

sky ftw!!!

Yeah, even if Sky is THAT much better than everyone, they shouldn't flaunt it this bad. Yawn. TDF just got real boring.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Can Spartacus put a minute between him and Wiggins?

Well, almost

 

[dlwssonic]

Very funny sky.......
Now I can understand why people hate armstrong and US postal so much.

 

[Clemson Cycling]

Yellow helmets tomorrow?

 

[its like that]

So Wiggins beats Cancellara by nearly a minute...

Chavanel closer to Wiggins than in Dauphine.

Evans slightly further away.

Froome much closer.

Over 41.5km, rather than 53km.

 

[Tigerion]

Was there any wind change or anything towards the end. With the final results and people like Nibs being 65 sec on Canc?

 

[dlwssonic]

Best evans can get now??? Third on podium?

 

[Fetisoff]

Keep on the nonsense. You are good at it.

Do you have a drinking problem by any chance?

 

[woodburn]

Wiggins killed the final 10km. Took 24 seconds from Evans and 39 from Nibali.

 

[gustienordic]

Chavanel closer to Wiggins than in Dauphine.

Evans slightly further away.

Froome much closer.

Chavanel having a great TDF! certainly one of his best (besides the year he won two stages and was in yellow)
