TdF Stage 12 - Fri 16th - Bourg-de-Péage - Mende 210.5km

[Francois the Postman]

Van Poppel took the wrong drugs?

A total anti-Sastre climb and he lets Cervelo ride?

Curious to see the Saxo-Cervelo interplay on the next Sastre friendly finish.

 

[python]

unless there is an attack from the quartet, i doubt they are getting away ?

 

[ak-zaaf]

classic line from Ligget - "everybody will throw everything at everyone" on the final climb.

Could we please stop quoting idiot commentators from non-cycling nations?

 

[Francois the Postman]

Katusha stirring now, that makes more sense.

 

[Cerberus]

confidence? feeling good ? why else

Sure, but it's not his kind of climb and he doesn't appear to be in very good form this Tour, I think it's odd, but clearly they think it's a good idea.

Hondo pulling for Cunego?

Prolly. Everyone with a Fleche Wallone top-10 thinks he can win here.

Levi caught out of position. For a moment, he was in front of Dennis Menchov.

Bruyneel gives him electric shocks when that happens.

haha! Well played

 

[Jamsque]

If anyone attacks from the peloton they are going to catch the break straight away.

i will be beside myself if history could repeat itself!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

What a chaotic run in. Everybody thinks they can win?

 

[Spare Tyre]

Bruyneel gives him electric shocks when that happens.

No wonder he was looking around so anxiously.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Hesjedal dead

 

[thrawn]

hesjedal blown.

 

[Jamsque]

Hes-Jay has popped! So much for my (and Cedric Vasseur's) prediction.

Klodi gone too!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Kloden getting caught by Petacchi!

 

[luckyboy]

Petacchi for Cunego

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Gadret
Nice attack

 

[sportzchick]

this is going to be close!

 

[Ferminal]

Wonder why Cuddles is near the front...

 

[indurain666]

Kloden gone, it seems the climb really starts at 4 k to go looks steep right now...guys at the front are going to pedalling squares soon as the roads goes skywards soon at 10% avg..cant wait

 

[Jamsque]

Cuddles looking better today.

Gadret has gone, softening it up for Roche maybe?

 

[Francois the Postman]

Cadel sitting very good. Someone wake ACF.
