Tour 2012: Route Rumours / Our wishes

[roundabout]

Is it similar to Hushovd's first stage win?

No, it's a rerun of the stage in 1998 that Massi won and I think once or twice before that.

But Aspin and Peyresourde from that side are, well, not that difficult.

 

[roundabout]

What's wrong with that?

Because it adds extra distance from Croix-de-Fer.

what is this act with hinault and the other random all about?

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

Peragudes stage is awful!

It's far better than the Luchon stage, though.

Looks like the Peyragudes climb tops out at about 1800m.

lol cadel laughing at the idea of long range attacks to put time on the great time-trialists
he knows why(because those will be doomed)

other random .... Jesus http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yannick_Noah

 

[Luke Schmid]

Pau should never, ever host the finish of a stage in the Tour. Start okay if they head in the mountains, but finish no way. Waste of a stage the stage into Pau.

[auscyclefan94]

[jens_attacks]

lol..i too thought Yannick noah was very well known.

Because it adds extra distance from Croix-de-Fer.

But also let them get the Toussuire climb from the bottom and shifts a non-technical descent to a technical...

 

[LaFlorecita]

...boring!!!

 

[jens_attacks]

this is awkward....and lame

 

[just some guy]

Hill power rider, who can descend,ITT and defend attacks in the Mountains

Verse 2 stages with long range attacks possible.

Frändy will not be happy, Evans, Brad will be , but again Contador if riding will be the happiest.

May come down to team strength in the 1st 10 days again

 

[Magnus]

Pau should never, ever host the finish of a stage in the Tour. Start okay if they head in the mountains, but finish no way. Waste of a stage the stage into Pau.

So by this logic the tour should have no flat stages?

 

[thirteen]

this is awkward....and lame

it's actually pretty embarrassing.

never watched one before and, to be honest, i have no intention of doing so again...

 

[El Imbatido]

LOL at Cav, everyone in suits except him

 

[LaFlorecita]

Berto is bored as well...

 

[Cimber]

Am surprised they let Bertie in this year. Andy surely didnt look happy (decents and ITTs, yum yum)

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

Contador rolling his eyes.

 

[Swifty's Cakes]

cav is a scruff in his sweater

 

[auscyclefan94]

Contador looks angry!

 

[Lupetto]

Contador looks bored to death.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

samu sanchez hair style is cool.
