Tour de France: Stage 20 Rambouillet - Paris Champs-Élysées 120km

[Vino attacks everyone]

Ah, home from vication (without internet 99% of the time) just in time for the fun part

 

[wirral]

Quite an eclectic line-up of guests Eurosport have had today stretching Harmon and Kirby to the limit (which is not hard).

I don't know who was the worst:- Maurice Greene (totally out of place), Abdoujaparov (coudn't speak English! Why have him on?), McQuaid (spouting total Newspeak as ever), Roche (Drunk? Exposing Harmon's failings)

The best guest was 81-year-old Brian Robinson, former yellow jersey wearer who clearly and concisely answered the questions and then put the case for a grande depart for Yorkshire.

What the f*** was Horner doing spoiling Hincapie moment? Idiot.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Big George gets his bow

 

[Mellow Velo]

Horner spoiling Hincapie's solo moment.
Lance's long arm of the law?

 

[vcampbell]

What the f*** was Horner doing spoiling Hincapie moment? Idiot.

Saying good bye, because of their last TdF?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Gotta be a last-ever Vino attack today, hasn't there?

Would be cool to see Sagan get it. Definitely Cav though.

Well, not last ever ever. He's doing the Olympics.

 

[luckyboy]

What the hell is this Maurice Greene stuff?

 

[dgodave]

A wobbly cobble obelisque.

Is that Vino i see...

 

[thehog]

Saying good bye, because of their last TdF?

Hincapie yes. But Horner? Whats he ever done?

Stupid.

 

[vcampbell]

Hincapie yes. But Horner? Whats he ever done?

Stupid.

You are really asking me? I'm more than 1000km from Paris. Both are old and american, maybe that's the answer.

 

[will10]

So is Horner retiring?

 

[dgodave]

I love this stage every year. I really find the laps through Paris to some of the most exciting racing of the year.

Well, not last ever ever. He's doing the Olympics.

Meant last ever on the Tour

 

[Kopuliak]

Eurosport open with 10 minutes of cringing embarrassment. Maurice Green trying to interview various riders, some of whom don't recognise him.
I'm glad Vince Nibs rides a bike better than he speaks English!

Nice shot of all the jersey wearers in line abreast, spoiled by that awful, red dalmatian look of Voeckler's.
Truly vomit educing.

well, Sagan and other riders probably didn't recognise Green, Maurice didn't recognise Cavendish and some other riders.FAIL.

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Ok, how many KMs out before P&P give us a 'suitcase of courage' or 'riding like a man possessed'?

 

[luckyboy]

Wow, didn't realise that the Skoda ad was a remake of one they did in 2006..

Tinkoff confirmed Kreuziger live on russian Eurosport.

Also said they're buying sprinters and "the best north classics rider there is".

 

[Warhawk]

Just for old time's sake, Mark Cavendish should ask George Hincapie, Peter Velits, and Tejay van Garderen to help with his lead-out (plus obviously Rogers, Eisel and EBH from his own team).

/me misses HTC

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Vino is at Cavs wheel

attack attack attack!

[Ferminal]

Better late than never

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I'm glad I didn't have to watch English-Eurosport or ITV or something. That would be...unbearable

A snitch going in break! Radioshack had to chase him down.
