[Francois the Postman]

Can you stop doing that.........its not just you but it's really starting to p me off

[Big GMaC]

Just as Thor is caught...

 

[khodder]

Gerard Ciolek in the Peloton.

 

[Ferminal]

damn, lost my feed. Help anyone?

Just as Thor is caught...

Yeh mine has gone out too, time to give it up, at least until the Aubisque.

 

[The Hitch]

so are they going to descend down the same side they will climb on thursday?

 

[khodder]

Right now Charteau in no mans land, 2 minutes behind the front 10, and there is only points for the first 10.

 

[salixcycling]

Wiggins is still in the peloton? Seriously - he has dropped off on almost every climb this year, so how slow are they going?

 

[khodder]

so are they going to descend down the same side they will climb on thursday?

Correct. They are climbing both sides in the tour this year.

 

[Big GMaC]

Gerard Ciolek in the Peloton.

Well thats not a surprise, I mean if Wigan can hang on

 

[Wergeland]

so are they going to descend down the same side they will climb on thursday?

Certainly looks like it from the stageprofile.

 

[Jamsque]

At least Astana are raising the pace a little now, the way they were riding earlier was a disgrace to the Tourmalet.

When did Carlos Sastre bridge up to the lead breakaway?

Not Sastre, its Konovalvas

 

[khodder]

Darn Thor being shelled out the back. Hopefully he can bridge on the descent.

 

[The Hitch]

Correct. They are climbing both sides in the tour this year.

Certainly looks like it from the stageprofile.

But some climbs have more than 2 ways to go up. So they could be going up side a, going down side b and climbing side c on thursday. Or are they going to climb the exact same stretch of road as they are going to be descending this time?

[Wergeland]

Thos can afford to lose a minute or so. He'll catch them on the descent and will definitely be with the peloton at feeding zone before the Abisque.

Sastre pulling Hushovd?

 

[Big GMaC]

veeeeeeeeeryyy funny

Well its not funny.

Cut the obvious doping crap. If you spent time looking you would see how much slower the climbs are this year than any recent year and the W/kgs are down as well.

Evans is doing crap cos he has a broken elbow and is tired from the Giro.

DEAL WITH IT

or get out

 

[The Hitch]

sastre setting the pace for thor.

 

[Big GMaC]

Thos can afford to lose a minute. He'll catch them on the downhill and will definitely be with the peloton at feeding zone before the Abisque.

One Problem.

Lance Piestrong is infront of the peloton.

Ergo, no food will be left.

 

[Jamsque]

Not Sastre, its Konovalvas

Ah, 97 looks a lot like 91 on this feed. Sastre is currently back pacing his team leader Thor back in to the peloton.

 

[salixcycling]

Interesting interview with LA on Eurosport with his opinion on yesterday. He played it down the middle and made sense. And then he actually rides today??

 

[Carl0880]

sastre setting the pace for thor.

Thats got to be an absolute classic picture,
