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

[Parrulo]

cav takes but greipel proves he can fight it out with the big boys. if he had a proper lead out he would have given cav a big run for his money. what a monster sprint from such a long way to go.

 

[Frosty]

uran in 2nd group?

Yes, waited for Wiggins.

 

[goggalor]

That was possibly the least exciting final I've ever seen.

 

[salixcycling]

Groep with Horner, Leipheimer, Mollema, Hesjedal loses +3'06

TGBM also back there

Edit: can't read

 

[SiAp1984]

Greipel was a lil unlucky

Absolutely. He can match Cav if it comes down to a one on one.

 

[UselessToo]

JJ Rojas on the 8th place, good place for him

Interesting that you choose to mention TGBM.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Five frenchmen in the top 10

Groep with Horner, Leipheimer, Mollema, Hesjedal loses +3'06

Damn it. They'd been at 1:20. The HTC hammer absolutely buried them in the last 10km or so. There go a host of GC hopefuls. Sad.

Petacchi
Greipel
Feillu
Bonnet
Hushovd
Rojas

So depressing. I hate seeing the GC affected by such a throw away stage.

 

[luckyboy]

lol where was Farrar?

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

this one showed Petacchi does not have the speed to match Cav, even when Alejet was on Cav's wheel.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Yes, waited for Wiggins.

such poor tactics.

leave uran up front in case.
tools.

they more or less have no gc hope now.

PS: there goes rabo's back up plan

Groep with Horner, Leipheimer, Mollema, Hesjedal loses +3'06

OUCH. really disappointed for horner.

okay, well at least klodi is the clear leader now.

 

[c&cfan]

Great sprint. Cav should count himself lucky to have such a great team. Greipel came from very far behind and almost made it. Next time...

did you even watch the sprint?

it was easy!! once cav sprints he smokes greipel easy...
everything under control.

serious you are so biased.

anti cav anti contador without a single valid argument.
your view is disturbed.

he even lost to pet (or it was so close)

 

[Frosty]

As predicted, he wasn't able to be right at the front in such a fast flat sprint.

Thought he would have finished a few places closer to the front than that though.

Groep with Horner, Leipheimer, Mollema, Hesjedal loses +3'06

Vino was there as well...

 

[Descender]

JJ Rojas on the 8th place, good place for him

Uh? It's not a good place at all. He's lost about half his lead in this sprint.

 

[Frosty]

Wonder if Horner will make the time cut?

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

Farrar was in the second group

 

[Finn84]

Gesink takes white.

 

[HL2037]

Greipel ought to have a train. If he had had one today, he would have won.

 

[therhodeo]

I can't even describe how much I hate listening to Cavendish talk.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

lol where was Farrar?

He was in the crash. Pay attention
