Le Tour de France 2011 STAGE 8 - Aigurande-Super-Besse Sancy 189 km

[Publicus]

Gesink on Dutch tv, still feels like crap and hopes not to lose time.

Meh, I'm glad when the rest day is there

And luckily for everyone there is no mountain stage immediately after the first rest day.

 

[Potomac]

I just wish the Schlecks were watching the versus piece on chaingate.

 

[spalco]

I love when the Eurosport guys are starting to have boring debates about cheese and wine, that's what July is all about for me.

Sherwen alternates between reading the media guide and confusing riders' names. "Suitcase of courage! Bridge to engine room!" Ugh.

What is he actually suffering with ? Just sore from his crash the other day or sick or form not there ?

Vino will be super excited for this stage.

I hope i am right.

 

[ggusta]

Smooth roads make my heart beat faster.

12kms to the first cat 2 climb of the Tour

 

[CatsNK]

Nice interview with Vino on Eurosport. But problems yet again with their commentator feed.

 

[just some guy]

wont be many at the end if they keep up like this

 

[TourOfSardinia]

omg OPL on the front- Gilbert feels good

 

[ak-zaaf]

There is supposed to be a headwind on Super-Besse

 

[caça-foice]

off-topic, but... Who is better in a long TT like the on in this year tdf, Evans or Contador?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

At this rate the break isn't going to get to the top of the climb. Maybe there will be a Hoogattack

end of 3 weeks Contador

 

[Potomac]

These Michelob Ultra commercials suggest that if you drink this beer your golf swing will be as bad as Lance's

 

[AlejandroValverde]

Contador is better

 

[UpTheRoad]

There are going to be a lot of blown riders on this climb if they keep this pace up right until the hill. They are motoring.

 

[luckyboy]

end of 3 weeks Contador

Yeah especially seeing as this one isn't pan flat.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Addy Engels deserves something after his sacrifice for Boonen the other day. Not that it will happen.

 

[spalco]

end of 3 weeks Contador

Contador any time anywhere imo.

 

[just some guy]

Kelly as we hit the steep part of the climb we could see the peloton explode - cool

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

off-topic, but... Who is better in a long TT like the on in this year tdf, Evans or Contador?

contador, by far

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

These guys are flying. Good grief!

 

[just some guy]

Contador any time anywhere imo.

Maybe, I would tend to agree but we have never seen them go at each other without a stage race before - that why I said after 3 weeks
