Tour de France Stage 5: Carhaix - Cap Fréhel 164.5 km

[Descender]

What happened at the intermediate sprint? I missed it.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Oh so that makes it ok again, pull your head in and TRY to be objective and think before you type

Well it is okay for Cavendish according to you. I will not pull my head in. I will not put up with such inconsistent bull**** by people like you. YOU are the one who needs to be objective.

When it was Evans in 2008 - whiner, arsehole, can't handle pressure
When it is Cav - lets blame the adrenaline

It is pretty black and white to me.

People riding curves all over the place.

Boonen from 1 side to the other

Good to see Cav responding to various morons in the best way possible.

Bummer for EBH, a real flyer - better pay more attention to the road book for tomorrow...

EDIT I take that back if Dim is correct.

I am correct.

The picture in the road book is wrong, the text next to it correct. Thanks ASO. !

YOu may have a point there...but in great news...SKIL takes 1-2 in Austria! YEA BABY...I know not the tour..but this bickering is getting old.

 

[auscyclefan94]

There are some others who are also complaining about Cav's comments. Not just me.

The movein front of Cav was caused by JJ not Tom. the move back was Tom

You can have a virtual tour of the last km via Google earth

Rojas: "Petacchi punched me with one km to go. He's a dirty rider."

So that's what Petacchi's been doing in this tour. He certainly hasn't been doing any sprinting.

and Rojas? what did?

he was trying to block boonen that had to go to left and by doing that blocked cav. then when boonen got past rojas for some reason he went' to the right i assume blocking rojas himself

 

[Jamsque]

What happened at the intermediate sprint? I missed it.

Rojas lead it out down the right of the road, Boonen came round to his left, Cavendish kicked from behind both of them and was about to overtake Boonen on the left when Rojas swung clean across the road, nearly putting Boonen in the ditch and completely cutting off Cavendish.

Who knows what the commissaires will do, no-one expected them to relegate Cav and Thor the other day.

When did I say that about Evans? It was the wrong initial reaction from Evans but I understand it. I understood the pressure he was feeling. How is anything Cav said remotely similar? Again what bull**** are you talking about?

 

[tofino]

Boonen and Rojas just lost sprint points-Gilbert in Green

Word from the commies that Boonen and Rojas just lost their points from the mid-race sprint. Both of them switched lines way to much.

Gilbert in Green.

 

[hatcher]

From twitter:
inrng the Inner Ring
New intermediate sprint ruling today: Rojas and Boonen closing doors in sprint, both declassified. Rojas loses green jersey, Gilbert gets it

 

[Connor Pass]

Rojas and Boonen declassified from the Intermediate Sprint.

Gilbert back in green.

 

[Havetts]

Wow thats stupid... damnit Rojas

 

[Jamsque]

Well well! I honestly didn't expect that. Glad to see some consistency from the race jury. I suspect they probably regret relegating Cavendish and Hushovd, because now they have set a precedent.

Cav said nothing harsh, aggrivating or fierce. Yes, he said something about Griepel. Without Greipel there, one can only take his word for what it is. Did he call Greipel names? I didn't hear any on SBS broadcast. Dude he was fine, you are over reacting and letting people wind you up over a very old incident. Do however note who I said tapped Evans on the shoulder. The same tool who right after Cav's interviews decided it was cool to label him a "fruit bag." Wanna be ****ed off, fine by me, take it out on Tomo the tool. Cav is harmless. More bark than bite. I found him to be merely discussing what he saw after a reporter prompted him. Greipel can talk to the other Euro news crews to explain himself. SSDD.

Lol, You can't just have people bashing heads in a sprint at 70km/h. It is ****ing dangerous. They both deserved relegation.

 

[abbaskip]

Rojas and Boonen declassified from the Intermediate Sprint.

Gilbert back in green.

Justice in my eyes. After the Thor-Cav decision, they've set a precedent now....Cav should have kept sprinting, wouldn't have given as many points to Gilbert...Though Maybe if he did the officials wouldn't have declassified anyone....

Do you remember that fella McEwen? Or Baden Cooke?

Just askin.

Well he attacked 20 seconds after the big huge giant red inflatable flamme rouge that spans across the entire road, so you can thank the man himself too. And honestly that's a very typical mistake from his side, he seems somewhat absent-minded. But he's learning I guess, and that was a powerful attack.

Haha have you ever raced a bike. We used to practice leaning on each other and head butting in training....

Its much less dangerous than a hook or using any other part of your body

Do you race? I'm asking that seriously and not trying to be a ***, just curious
