TDF Stage 9 - Tuesday, July 13 2010, Morzine-Avoriaz - Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, 204 k

[Ferminal]

LeTour feed is saying Hesjedal dropped... Dehydration during the rest day?

 

[jaylew]

Paulinho too. RS definitely trying to do something today. Completely different team w/o Lance in the mix.

 

[BroDeal]

Who's watching Lance?

Who is the Lanterne Rouge right now? He might be the right man for the job.

 

[Bernardus]

Apparently Hesjedal doesn't like rest days.

 

[BroDeal]

Vino/Horner/JB group reeled in, now a group with Sergio and Little Prince trying to go.

Go Cunego!! This is the type of stage he could win.

 

[Winterfold]

Blimey - its getting pretty frisky already - this is going to be a long day for a lot of riders...

 

[Climbing]

Apparently he doesn't like rest days.

Not many like it.

 

[Ferminal]

Thor dropping off, he had a crash not long ago.

Well, that just killed two threads.

 

[Jamsque]

Actual racing from the start of the stage? For a minute there I thought I was watching the Giro d'Italia...

 

[Lyds97]

Thor dropping off, he had a crash not long ago.

Couldn't quite see him hanging in there for the sprint at 70 km to go.. Puts him 10 points clear of Petacchi though.

Radio Shack/BMC

Gap only 2'14".

BMC ftw...

There is an Radio Shack/BMC alliance!

Very funny

 

[Lyds97]

Dave Harmon saying Hushovd's crashed.

 

[Jamsque]

Dave Harmon saying Hushovd's crashed.

Going uphill? How very unlike him.

I'm surprised Hes-Jay seems to have reacted so badly to the rest day. This is his seventh Grand Tour, after all.

Glad BMC have things under control. Keep a steady tempo boys.

 

[Lyds97]

Group with Cunego and Taaramae picks up and drops Johannes Frohlinger. Not sure how far they are behind the break.

 

[Winterfold]

Seems to be calming down a bit now. Will LL Sanchez be able to go all the way?

 

[Moondance]

Hmmm... I don't know whether Moreau's move is good for the break's cohesion. I imagine Pineau will now be soft-pedalling when Caisse need his aid the most.

Counter-productive move.

 

[Lyds97]

The Frenchmen sweep up the mountain points on the Colombiere.

1. Moreau
2. Pineau
3. Charteau

 

[auscyclefan94]

Beautiful in yellow, I must say...

 

[Sasquatch]

Charteau is definitely going for KOM points. Looks like Moreau is too.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Anyone have a good quality feed? I am not bothered about it being in english...

 

[auscyclefan94]

It is hard to watch BMC on the front!

 

[Ryaguas]

Caisse D'Epargne going big today... watch out!

Cunego in teh breakaway yay!!!
