Official Thread: TdF Stage 8, Andorre-La-Vieille to Saint-Girons

I'd love to see Contador attack again.

I'd love to see anyone attack again. Isn't that what we're here for?

LA is climbing better than yesterday. Andy is planning to attack very soon.

Well, if they stay away as it is, Contador in yellow.

Wiggins at the front, looking good. VDV too. That is good to see.

What is the chance that an attack could bridge to the break?

Garmin only has one bottle. They pass it to a different rider every year.

I think they got 2 this year.

Yea, he will have another go. Now the pain is being laid down by Frank. Here comes Andy again.

Then what happens? Do they have a team meeting and give LA the jersey to wear at night? Can't have anyone with hurt feelings.

Saxo bank will force Astana to have the yellow jersey today...

Klodi and LL looking rough. There has to be another attack.

Pretty easy I would think... still 5k to go on the climb.

Very good tactic for them too. Bravo!

Goodness me how boring...
30 seconds still not getting more...
The decent is like 100.000.000 miles long...
That wont be enough.

Wiggins, I think Wiggins should attack.
Just for the sake of it.

Or maybe Martin should attack so he'll survice the techninal part of the decent, if there is any.

What a small small group now...
If Freire is in there?

mmm, I wouldn't say force, but it could definitely be part of their plan.

 

[dgodave]

Nice etang!

Shit, regroup.

Astana is doing all of the work anyway so I'm not sure it will make much of a difference.

and they are going to work for it - Riis is the best tactics man going around I think

Phil Ligget would probably get so excited that he would kill over dead from heart attack if that happened.

What a waste of a stage....
And it'll get even worse tomorrow...
I'm close to leaving for something more thrilling.
Like drinking coffee...
or watching the grass in the garden grow.

Ah well, it comes to nothing.

What a disappointment. Both weekend stages are crap courses.

 

[Publicus]

Well that was short lived.

Looks like a tricky descent coming up though.
