TDF Stage 16 - Tuesday, July 20 2010, Bagnères-de-Luchon - Pau, 196 km

[Straßenrennen]

Considering there's about 90 guys in the peleton nah not really. I was kinda impressed how they pulled back the leadout group on the peyresourde but it's hardly surprising they're there now.

Normally lotto seems too just sit in the bus apart from cadel, but now hes left either the team has got 4x as strong... or they all just hated him.

If you were Johan Bruyneel, what would you be telling LA?

Team GC !! Team GC !! Team GC !!

 

[therhodeo]

Barredo going for it.

Too early.

Whoa, Liggett just said 'interesting they're calling the chasing group "Group Armstrong", as it's usually named after the highest placed rider'.

Yes, strange how the French race organizers have such bias that they'd have special focus on Lance Armstrong...

Too early.

Not for a Spartacus

 

[sublimit]

I think its still a gentle downhill to end, a bit early but not impossible.

They also called group Schleck "group contador" last week. They actually had Schleck written, and then changed it


yeah, so it's not all about Lance in particular, just about previous winners in general

But that would make it harder for a solo guy, right?.... with the speeds being a bit higher.

[sublimit]

It depends if they can organise a chase i suppose.

I doubt it though. I thought Moerenhout was driving the peloton...

Every time they show the stage profile on screen a little bit of me dies. Seriously, who the hell though this stage made any sense, especially the day before the rest day?

Thursday should be good, but yes another mistake by the organisers with this stage.

 

[Bala Verde]

So you think you can kayak... interesting moves...

Did anyone see the aerial view of the bicycle made by people with the wheels spinning? Pretty cool, highlight of the stage. That and the scenic Aubisque road.

AS at the back?
