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

[sublimit]

I wonder if BroDeal will unleash on Wiggans tonight?

I fear the worst for Wigans if he doesnt finish top20.. Bro Deal is already primed probably

 

[auscyclefan94]

Cadel did not look too battered and bruised when I saw him earlier. How many km's till Ramaz?

 

[sublimit]

what the hell is he doing riding at the back? he should be up near the front to avoid crashes and such

Im not sure, perhaps he got held up by the crash?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Bruised wrist and bruised shoulder for Cadel apparently.

yeah, which is exactly why you ride up front

 

[Publicus]

Wiggans is out the back..

I thought that was him.

Did they say that on eurosport?

 

[sublimit]

Wiggins had a couple of riders with him so he should be OK. Famous last words..

Give 'em a break. The crash was only 6 k into the stage. They barely had time to get organised! Lance got caught up as well but he went out onto the grass and stayed upright.

He's bluffing. Just as Kloden yesterday, he'll lose time deliberately to come from behind at some later stage.

Osteopath reports bruised wrist & shoulder

As i just tuned in, can someone tell me which riders (except Cadel) were in the pile-out early on? Thanks!

 

[movingtarget]

Jurgen Van Den Broeck was one of the only riders to admit that he did not find yesterday's stage, hard. See how he goes today. Evan's was lucky that he took the impact more on the side. Thankfully his battered collarbone was not effected.

BMC twitter page has reported he only has a few cuts and that was 9 minutes ago. Evans said it was hot but did not find it too hard. I think everyone found it quite hot.

Pineau, the Footen rider Cappechi (i think) , Gerrans and 1 or 2 others.

he was back there with Cance, probably adjustment of motors before Ramaz

 

[Thee_chisa]

sky coming to the front, thank god.

 

[iFev20]

Phil Liggit and Paul Sherwin really do give some great info.

Apparently cobblestones are hard! I never would have realised.

 

[balkou]

in RAI they have said that Savoldelli (retired anyway) had a fall earlier today and broke sthing. He was transfered with helicopter to the hospital...They weren't heard as if it was very serious anyway

 

[auscyclefan94]

is anyone's eurosport feed a bit choppy? i am on fromsport

 

[auscyclefan94]

Good to see BMC up the front with Cadel!

Come on Cadel you can do it!
