TDF Stage 15 - Monday, July 19 2010, Pamiers - Bagnères-de-Luchon, 187 km

[The Hitch]

voeckler 5km from top and pelototn 5 minutes behind, long way to the summit.

Fireworks, we are waiting.

 

[max_powers]

Forza Voeckler!!!

What is that hoop around his neck?
Is there a magnet in there?

I saw similar neckwear on World Series Pitchers

 

[Big GMaC]

Bye Bye Wigan.

 

[Bala Verde]

Wiggins off the back

 

[The Hitch]

rogers and wiggins in the group they know quite well now. - falling of the back.

 

[Big GMaC]

Also, shleck is going to be out of team mates in about a minute

 

[salixcycling]

Just one thing, why are all of astana sitting behind contador in the line?

Are that waiting for Saxobank to wear themselves out and drop back. Maybe they will attack AS when he is isolated. Would be nice if the peloton did something (apart from drop Wiggins)

 

[ericthesportsman6]

Wow look at Anker Sorensen go!

 

[sublimit]

Wiggans, Rogers going out the back..

 

[ak-zaaf]

No war on the Port de Bales. Very dissapointing. Very dissapointing indeed.

Andy has to do something. If he waits for Tourmalet it will be a sad day.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Tour de Waiting Game

 

[Bala Verde]

Gesink a little too far to the back, given that Fuglsang is the last Saxo left...

It could explode any time (or just fizzle out)

 

[Ferminal]

Tommy has this

Rest of the race is completely lame.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

Gap holding at 6min, the breakaway will win today.

 

[The Hitch]

wow. Nick roche gets a flat, loses a minute and then easily passes wiggins.

 

[hoolaparara]

is it me or did the gap drop 10-15 seconds under 6 minutes and now back over?

 

[superconfex]

Wiggans, Rogers going out the back..

shocking

 

[frizzlefry]

Also, shleck is going to be out of team mates in about a minute

Astana is stupid if they dont destroy AS after his last teammate is gone. AS is going to isolate himself.

 

[salixcycling]

Roche just flew past Wiggins after recovering from his mechanical.

 

[khodder]

Astana is stupid if they dont destroy AS after his last teammate is gone. AS is going to isolate himself.

In which case would it not make sense for Andy to accelerate and create an Andy vs Bertie situation?

 

[Bala Verde]

Hmm back to 6m?

 

[ak-zaaf]

shocking

Wigans is pretty lame. Rogers was to be expected.

 

[Big GMaC]

Have Phil and Paul ever seen Denis Menchov ride down hill? They keep on about his amazing descending!

 

[sublimit]

shocking

I expect more from Rogers, wiggens has been rubbish.

 

[hoolaparara]

What the hell is Paul Sherwin on about? A Denny Menchov descent? There is no such thing!
