TDF Stage 14: Saint-Gaudens - Plateau de Beille 168km

[ggusta]

i will suffer the versus agony like many of you, but sadly I have promised my wife my special french toast, so chat with y'all later, time spent here on big stages is one of my decadent pleasures.

 

[Ferminal]

Velits looking good.

 

[Publicus]

Szmyd gone already?

Yes! Crazy day ahead....

 

[killswitch]

Hope Jens! can continue for at least one year. Losing both Vino and him would be too much.

 

[luckyboy]

Aw Szmyd gone?

 

[zapata]

That was Coppel dropped?

 

[Parrulo]

only jens left on the leopard train

coppel a big disappointment this tour

velits looking good. . .

 

[Ramira]

Smytz gone - Basso solo

Ouch that hurts for Basso, and it also makes this stage a bit less interesting, I really wanted to see what he could do to break the favourites.

 

[The Hitch]

Szmyd gone? good. While potentially devestating to lesser riders, he kills the excitement a bit in my opinion.

I want to see a small group of riders attacking.

 

[Bala Verde]

Basso in Vanendert's wheel.

Arroyo moving up front.

 

[salixcycling]

Roche sitting at the back, ready to drop off again

 

[vcampbell]

There are still CAS and Navarro(?) for Contador.

 

[taiwan]

Jens rides two stages during one stage.

 

[Ramira]

Lets see what Gerdemann has left in the tank.

 

[Big GMaC]

Phil identifies a rider as Tondo... Thats sad and insulting

 

[virenque216]

go peter

we all hope for Peter here in Slovakia, podme Peto drz sa

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Jens rides two stages during one stage.

Only 2? That's a bit of a letdown compared to what he used to be able to.

 

[vcampbell]

There are still CAS and Navarro(?) for Contador.

And Hernandez too.

 

[Bala Verde]

Mollema and Gregorio caught by Gerdeman.

 

[Ramira]

There are still CAS and Navarro(?) for Contador.

I saw Navarro and Hernandez not yet seen CAS but he should be there.

 

[Publicus]

There are still CAS and Navarro(?) for Contador.

And Hernandez

 

[Buttelski]

Roche

Roche is trying to ride himself back into some form after his earlyseason crash

Roche sitting at the back, ready to drop off again

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Boring favorites so far

 

[Parrulo]

i don't have much hope left on contador. but sure my heart is still racing fast in expectation

 

[No_Balls]

And Hernandez too.

A good gathering of SBS around. I think we will see an attack from them, double-time.
