2012 Tour of California May 16 stage 4: Sonora - Clovis 209.6 km

[Spine Concept]

Tommeke is often the best when everyone is tired.

Agreed. However, Boonen is tired as well, he was dropped and had to chase for a while. Though they have been taking it easy for the past 20 (?) or so km so they have time to recover.

Long hard stage and everyones beat. Tom could just take this one.

 

[AntonioRossi]

and Peter is the youngest so who are phil and paul referring to?

 

[vcampbell]

I hope that someone from the peloton will win this stage, it's his time!

It could well be an interesting 5 minutes after further boredom.

wow poor Paul..".Australia, Canada...erm California "wherever we are

Good point. Just not really been following.

No problem, I'm not 100% though, just using logic.

It's much more of a "Indurain brothers" talent ratio than a "Schleck brothers" talent ratio.... Juraj is mostly on Liquigas because of Peters enormous potential.

I see. Thanks for that.

Not good as peter so far and he is older than peter.

I'm talking about his younger brother, or at least that's what the commentators where talking about. I have no idea about Sagan's siblings which is why I'm asking.

Indeed. Lots of effort going into not dozing off to sleep.

oh okay...these 2 commentators are just talking bull****.

 

[Pippo_San]

Lol but WTF the commentators are looking at? It was written all along the screen that Boonen had a flat

 

[Kopuliak]

and Peter is the youngest so who are phil and paul referring to?

Milan is youngest Sagan, but he's not professional rider, probably not interesting on cycling at all... Peter is 22 and Juraj is 23.

 

[Cancellator]

oh okay...these 2 commentators are just talking bull****.

"Today this will certainly change.... I think... "
LOL genius...

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

OT, but this looks bad for California. 95 degrees and parched already, and it's May.

 

[mewmewmew13]

They must be bored witless ...babbling..Phil was mentioning 'Mt Baldwin'...uhh then just drifted off

 

[El Pistolero]

Speaking of the Indurain brothers. Miguel almost rode his own brother out of the time limit in a time trial. He flatted near the end of that time trial and lost about 20 seconds(he won of course). Just enough to keep his brother in the Tour.

Wouldn't surprise me if Peter did the same during a classic. (riding him out of the time limit, not the flat tire)

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I feel some pity for P&P today. As painful as this is to watch, commentating it must be excruciating.

 

[will10]

Phil and Paul are terrible, I've been on mute all week.

 

[goggalor]

So glad this is the modern days and there's no such thing as picture breakup.

Not that it matters, the peloton is in siesta mode anyway.

Years in my case.

 

[AntonioRossi]

UHC's clarke on the attack

 

[Don Johnson]

oh okay...these 2 commentators are just talking bull****.

As exciting as cycling is it must be an exciting job commentating.
Paul commented on one of the riders' husband and then corrected himself, dreadfully boring job really.

 

[ElChingon]

This is where forum's and chat rooms come in handy for the cycling banter that can drown down the P&P's of the commenting world.

I'm going with Sagan.

Crazy, I know.
