Oh lord, Gesink in trouble already!

The post wasn't calling you a July fan. It was joking that I must be a July fan for not being aware of your reputation.

There's nothing wrong with being a big fan of a particular team or rider. Just be prepared to face some ridicule when that team does badly or even does well but not as well as overhyped by its fans. And don't feel the need to bring said team into every post.

thanks for explaining

Mayhem - Brutt dropped on the 1st climb - all crash victims back on their bikes

Gesink already out the back

Gesink in trouble already. Yikes.

 

[dlwssonic]

gesink is really in trouble poor guy. another gc contender affected by crashes

 

[El Pistolero]

the last km peaks at over 10%.

Even better. This Tour is designed incredibly well. Although I would have liked a mountain stage a bit sooner.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

lol again, he should retire, it's getting sad

Gesink already out the back

Barredo goes on the attack

 

[dlwssonic]

is it true that the longer it takes for the break to get away, the less chance they have of staying away.

no, it's the other way around of course

Depends entirely on who is in the break.

 

[dlwssonic]

oh lol my bad

Barredo goes on the attack

Tommy V on the move - BMC,HTC and OPL controlling the break attempts

 

[goggalor]

Looks like the entire peloton is a bloc. Crazy. http://data.srmlive.de/TDF/

 

[dlwssonic]

Good to see other teams helping out BMC. i dont know but does barredo attacking mean rabo has already kinda given up on gesinks chances??

 

[jens_attacks]

i'm not even a big gesink fan but this is getting very sad.especially after that knee hole in vuelta 2009.i think michael rasmussen cursed rabobank for good no offense.

peloton already all over the place.

Evans and Gilbert attacked out of the group

but have been caught ??????

 

[RdBiker]

A break will eventually go and it'll slow down. I don't think he's in that kind of trouble as to not be able to stay with the peloton on a stage like this.

Ok, I believe you, he's in BIG trouble...

That's pretty cool thing right there.

The FCKK??

I'm surprised at how much I've enjoyed it so far, uve been very impressed with the route. It could if done with one early mountain stage though.

Peloton is split in 3 groups with Tommy V off the front on his own

 

[Midnightfright]

Yeah not looking good

 

[Ferminal]

ffs, give us coverage, now!

Trust Tommy V to be the first one to get a gap.

 

[The Barb]

The FCKK??

Ditto. That makes no sense?!
