Ancient coastline of France named after a nineteenth century gold mining town in Africa?

I'll never question Carlton again if that's factual but it seems doubtful.

The same lighthouse was being described by Paul Scherwin as "being able to be seen from Nineteen miles an hour"....

Re:

Breakaway for the win!

Peleton have upped the pace considerably now so think probably not.

Re: Re:

why isnt contador sitting on sagans wheel? its the safest place in the peloton

You do know who was immediately in front of Morkov when he went down yesterday?

I think, it was greipel, Sagan was on kittels wheel a little to the left, but its hard to stay, I' be seen onlybsom bad images

 

[Jungle Cycle]

Peloton was waiting the end of MTB worlds...

Gap's not coming down fast enough...

You got to hand it to Contador.... he is so tough ...looks in a lot of pain but hanging in there

People write him off at their own peril.

Yeah, that's why I don't believe the "good guy" mantra at all. Tough SOB, Contador is.

 

[portugal11]

Contador is grimacing a lot

Probably means he's fine.

It's going to be close. The BOD needs at least 1 minute with 5 K to go.

Btw, FDJ needs to wake up...

Re:

Yeah, could be tight. I think the break has a chance today.

 

[Rollthedice]

Now it's getting hectic.

Why can't he be a good guy and a tough guy?

 

[PremierAndrew]

1 crash in the peloton and the breakaway definitely win

Re: 2016 TdF, Stage 2: Saint-Lô → Cherbourg-en-Cotentin (183

It's becoming unlikely the peloton will catch them....

Re: 2016 TdF, Stage 2: Saint-Lô → Cherbourg-en-Cotentin (183

2.50 with 15km to go ... unless there are massive climbs it is done and dusted

 

[WillemS]

This is going to be very close.

Hopefully Sam Bennett makes it to the finish today after his big crash yesterday as well:

“I could see the bone in my finger, I had to go under to get it stitched up. I am just trying to keep my fingers dry today. They are all wrapped up. The pressure on them is a lot but they should be okay. Trying not to bend them to break the stitches is the hardest.”

They can.

I have a feeling that macbair didn't learn his lesson about trolling...
