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

[Maxiton]

anyone think they will pull the break back before the int sprint ?

5 min in 40 km ish

I hope they do. Cav needs it, and it'll be more exciting.

 

[spalco]

didnt even think about that - half of the world watching the TDF will be sleep deprived..... the level will depend on their location

Well, Americans can watch it in the morning, it's mostly just a problem for you Easterners.

Im not really the tour coverage on eurosport asia starts at 8 to 1130. perfect timing for a student like me.

I think Cav will not go for it anyway: He will save energy for the finish IMO

I know - we have to put up with it with most sports so im used to it...

 

[just some guy]

Garmin and HTC between them could do it if they really wanted to, but I don't think they do.

its down to nearly 3 min all of a sudden might be on ???

Where did you get those numbers from? My coverage says 58.5km with a gap of 3'10?????

No idea. Maybe he's drunk?

Or fell on his head?

Or maybe that's just his local accent?

Or...?

Fair enough, thanks for the link anyhow

I think the worst has to be Hawaii, where the live broadcasts usually start at 2:30 AM. Slightly better for me in LA - 5:30 AM.

 

[sportzchick]

2.30AM OUCH! I guess they get to sleep a bit and wake up at 2am - staying up till then is a ******!

lucky ******* LMAO

 

[Eyeballs Out]

they have other talented riders like moreno, hoste, paolini, killer, pipo, vantomme

For one reason or another most of those are not really feasible. Hoste I'm pretty sure is out indefinitely. Pippo had a crash as well didn't he ? Di Luca did the Giro and TdS, Moreno had a hard early season ... so I can understand why they've thought "might as well give the Russian kids some experience"

I would have thought we'd have seen more of Kolobnev and Galimzyanov this week, pity

For an upcoming sprinter Galimzyanov has been rather good. Better than Swift so far, even Pettachi.

 

[Maxiton]

Break is coming back fast. Peloton going for it.

he meant if the peloton can catch the break in the 40kish k left till the intermediate sprint.

can't you people read?

But Petacchi has been rubbish and Swift has been mostly a leadout man.

Easy there, P. Some of us are having cocktails, too.

I doubt there is more than one or two people in Hawaii watching this live.

Last space shuttle launch ever is on ABC 24 for you other antipodeans

[Parrulo]
