Is there any stage that is not suitable for a Voeckler breakaway?

now i know you're not a brit.issoisso said:I remember a worse case. In his first Tour, being inexperienced, Boardman was in yellow and desperate to wear it into england the day after the TTT.
His team could've won the TTT....but instead of longer slower pulls as he should've done, he took short powerful pulls and annihilated his own team.
Someone else got the jersey, the tour went into england and....funnily enough Sean Yates got the jersey the day the tour went back to France.

trompe le monde said:Also, thank you Moondance for starting these threads and providing a bit of commentary.
BeachBum said:I will second the kudos to Moondance for the public service he is providing by putting up these posts every day. Here's hoping Moondance is right and we get to see some jousting going to Bedizzano and on to the finish.

Dekker_Tifosi said:Petacchi is climbing good though. Might have a chance at surviving. Old man or not.
When Cipo was an old man, he won San Remo and the Worlds, so I really don't see that as an argument, old men might be slower, but they are also thougher and can take more.
@Sasquatch: If Flens survives those climbs I'll win the Tour de France. No way. He is a rouleur/cobble guy and has too much weight to pull himself over the slightest bump
