TDF Stage 15: Limoux - Montpellier 187km

[Mellow Velo]

This is excellent stuff. Really nail biting.
Too think, some folks wait 49 weeks with great anticipation, for this.

 

[Jamsque]

Mini-sprint at least, then go make a sandwich for the finish.

Tough one for Cav, let's see if Movistar manage to box him in again (or if Gilbert takes a flyer).

has anyone read or seen anything that help explains the anti-strategy of leopard yesterday?

There's an article about Andy moaning that nobody attacked, so I'm guessing their strategy was to counter-attack any moves by Basso, Contador or Evans and when none of that happened, the counter didn't happen either since they aren't used to thinking race tactics independently of the radio in their ear.

Or the people at Leopard have became 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' fans (awesome show) and decided to just be friends with all the other riders.

Delage won the sprint and it's not that close actually.

 

[Jamsque]

Cav-Rojas-Gilbert. Every little helps I suppose.

 

[Mellow Velo]

3 men wake up. Now the peloton will really switch off for 10-15kms.

[Bala Verde]

Delage to be awarded the most combative award?

 

[The Hitch]

Vino officially retires.

Cycling history will forever be split into pre Vino and post Vino.

 

[Jeanne]

Delage to be awarded the most combative award?

what??? A french guy???

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Wind now seems to be directing itself against the riders rather than assisting them

[Ratatosk]

Are we there yet?

Why aren't we there yet?

zzzzzzzz

 

[spalco]

Heh, pyrotechnics on the roadside, I like that.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

Nice

Well news of the day now is Vino ends career. Best wishes Vino!

 

[Ferminal]

typical women is typical

level's 5 and 6 are the fun ones

Level 6 for me.

 

[Ratatosk]

That is exactly it though, they should put these stages on workdays. Keep weekends free for Luz & Galibier in stead of the middle of the week.

 

[rides like a girl]

ok...i have caught up...woke up late, but actually not really that motivated to get out of bed after I read twitter and the lack of news...which I took for nothing special going on in the race.

Read back the pages here. Good commercial..I guess I am a dumb blonde girl.. I never realized Skoda was a car. Love the commercial.

I am level 6...true non-believer.

Was going to rewind the DVR to watch what I missed, but I think it would be a waste of time.

I cleared my DVR of the Giro stages, bad move I realize. Was hoping to find a DVD of the 2011, but cannot find one for sale...I guess I am going to watch chain gate again.

In our Versus the image breaks up and it looks like the riders are the Predator coming out of camoflage mode.

Yep.

There's an article about Andy moaning that nobody attacked, so I'm guessing their strategy was to counter-attack any moves by Basso, Contador or Evans and when none of that happened, the counter didn't happen either since they aren't used to thinking race tactics independently of the radio in their ear.

That's gotta be it. Has anyone interviewed Eddy Merckx lately about this Tour?

I just went for a walk in the rain because the miniscule risk of drowning was more exciting than this.

Level 6 - Extreme Heretic for me, always wondered why bonfires fascinated me so much.

I'm bored to death but I hate to think whats happening to Libertine Seguros.

Watch some Golf on the other side or join the French Foreign Legion or something...

 

[Jamsque]

Someone make a stage 16 thread so we have something to do until 10km to go.
