Stage 8: Station des Rousses - Morzine-Avoriaz 189km

[Fourier]

G. Thomas, de la Fuente, Popo, Voigt toast

 

[Moondance]

Impressive, Flecha is dropping guys like Martin and Pop...

EDIT: Now also Hincapie, Gutierrez and Cunego.

ITV have gone to a break - on a bloody climb! bad coverage

Dim will be having kittens watching sky on the front!

I felt like posting on the forums tonight so I am not bothering with the tv. My antennae for my tv needs to be replaced as the tv is choppy on sbs.

 

[Delicato]

How many Astanas are in front? Looks like only Navarro and Tiralongo with Vino and AC.

DDLF, Noval and Hernandez are already dropped.

 

[Jamsque]

Flecha is laying down the hurt. He's not going to shed any big names but he is whittling away the team-mates of Schleck and Contador.

 

[Cobblestones]

Armstrong looks pretty beat up.

 

[Potomac]

So is Sky planning a big attack on the descent?

 

[The Hitch]

dropping off, he'll save himself for a potential stage win in the pyrenees

Every stage in the giro people predicted a cunego win, and 2 tour stages so far people have predicted a cunego win, and he is yet to deliver.

 

[Thee_chisa]

anyone got a good eurosport link?

 

[sublimit]

I'm stuck with Phil And Paul.. No mention of Shackstrong yet,

 

[zapata]

sky dropping martin, popovych, noval etc, yet not gaining much to the breakaway?

 

[Beech Mtn]

[superconfex]

Big George gone

This is what I noticed. The pace isn't that hot. Armstrong is sitting on Bert's wheel

Just use http://tdftourtracker.sbs.com.au/ if you want a stable feed, mute it if you must!

Sky are trying to do what Radio Shack wanted to do. Armstrong is not having much luck for a change. He has had more falls since he came out of retirement than all of the previous years.

 

[Cobblestones]

For all their effort, the peloton is still huge.

 

[Ferminal]

"Sky are decimating the field here but they're not really ripping them to pieces just yet".

Wow.

 

[Publicus]

And everyone talked up DDLF .....not impressed.

Just as everyone talked up Popo. And it looked like Paulhino was slipping off the back.

 

[Thee_chisa]

nice to see someone taking the race to contador et al though

it's a bit strange, I think. it's mostly been flecha since the bottom, going ca as fast as moorenhout, yet people are dropping like flies.

You have to be careful of falls as you age. He may want to speak to Floyd about hip replacement options.
