Re: Re:

Wonder if Froome will step off.
The cost of proving he's not a softie might be too high.

He rode the queen stage of the vuelta with a broken foot

And during the Tour he showed he's a tough nut, but somehow looks like he feels a need to show it again.
The shots should be called from the team car. He, himself, doesn't look sensible.

Maybe he!s enjoying himself. What if he plays a role in the finale? Would be quite something.

Would be legendary, no doubt.
I'm just taking into the consideration the bigger fish he has to fry.

I know what you mean and all, he seems to be more ambitious than ever this year, maybe he's actually planning something, even though I just assumed he was doing it for the miles

Folk moan about froome being too Le tour motivated and now he tries something different and folk are even moaning about that

tommy v the gurning mad man

TV time tommy, the cameras should ignore this exhibitionist

 

[46&twoWheels]

Voeckler unfortunately can't delight us with his oscar-worthy performances, otherwise he's going to swallow cold air

Re:

Calmejane, here's a possible future winner of this race

Jeanne was too calme this time. Until the commercial break is over so is Tommy V's

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Oh God please no. Bring back Voeckler asap please.

Re:

british eurosport saying 4 guys besides Hinault and Andy Schleck (let's not go there...) won the Tour and LBL.....who? Kubler, Merckx, Anquetil and....? I don't see anyone else

Leon Scieur is the other one. LBL in 1920, Tour in 1921

no. His acting is unbearable indeed but atleast he makes it a bit entertaining.

Well, if he wants a Monument on his palmares, today's would be a perfect fit.

Leon Scieur won TDF in 1921 and LBL in 1920.
Betancur'd

 

[del1962]

Gap coming down quick

 

[Orbit501]

May I recommend to the house S4C coverage of the race.

The Welsh language is quite something

 

[rainman]

I hope there s another blizzard or this will be another crap LBL. Maybe Wellens can liven things up.

 

[Samamba]

Gallopin crashed & abandoned

 

[46&twoWheels]

If only Betancur could burn all that extra energy during the final slope,he would be unstoppable....and combust likely

 

[vedrafjord]

Growing up in southeast Ireland we were close enough to pick up S4C - Sgorio had Spanish and Italian football way before any English language TV stations so my Welsh vocabulary is all football-related.

We know you Tommy.

Re:

ffs

 

[luckyboy]

S4C has cycling? what

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Action! Good

 

[Andy262]

Di Marchi livens it up a tiny bit

 

[Hugo Koblet]

So will something actually happen on Redoute?

Re:

We will see Voeckler's tongue a lot.
