Tour de France 2011 Stage 7: Le Mans - Châteauroux 218 km

WTF is up with Lay-O-Tard hammering on the front every time there is a crash behind? Weren't they the same guys whining like little girls last year about things like that?...(that was a rhetorical question)

What the **** are you guys seeing all the time? Do you even know what the Leopard jersey looks like?

Nooooooooo! *insert number of curses*

I hate it when GC contenders get knocked out for the GC because of crashes.
I'm no Wiggins fan, but I was really curious how he would perform this year.
Let's hope Horner doesn't lose too much time and isn't too injured as this year should be his year. Atleast that's the feeling I get with the guy. He is/was my outside bet for a surprise top5.

Yeah, I considered Horner a long shot for top 5 and longer for the podium, but it seemed like his year and not an impossibility. No worries if he simply gets beat on the road, but chances ending because of a crash always sucks. He's 39. He won't get another chance like this year.

Thomas behind? White jersey changing shoulders perhaps.

Do they want to keep the Schlecks safe or are some GC guys in the chasing groups that Leopard-Trek wants to distance? Radioshack riders come to mind first.

Yes, Thomas and Hagen behind.

Gesink will take the white jersey if he stays in front

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

did Horner finish getting treated riding alongside the medical car? Or is he out?

 

[Frosty]

EBH just off the back now apparently? Lots of odd info. Yates reckoned he was with the others.

 

[Jamsque]

EBH is about to re-join the peloton according to P&P

Right after the crash it was Leoprad who immidatley jumped to the front and were going. I guess they heard that Wiggins was down and just wanted to make sure that he can't come back if he continues riding

Yeah, if Andy crashed and LL, Horner, or Klodi were in the front, RS would be HAMMERING to make sure he didn't get back.

 

[funnytanlines]

peloton can't really stop completely. there's still a breakaway up ahead, and <20km to go after all.

Karma's a biatch. They'll get theirs before this tour is over.
