Tour de France Stage 7: Tournus - Station des Rousses 165.5km

If Vino attacks he could take yellow

he will need half a min for Chavanel e 21' for AS. Very difficult.

I predict that Radio Shack will claim resting Kloden and Popo for tomorrow.

they don't have to claim it. I'm sure LA will need them badly tomorrow...

 

[superconfex]

Geraint Thomas dropped????

 

[Cerberus]

he will need half a min for Chavanel e 21' for AS. Very difficult.

More likely Cadel or Chavanel will take yellow depending on whether Chavanel makes it and by how much.

Look at that weak left-over Astana crew suffering at the hands of the team that took the 7 strong ones from the 2009 Tour, or whatever that rambleshack grandstanding was all about.

Thomas at the back. Come on man, hang on.

Armstrong isolated on a Cat 2 climb? I think maybe the fear of getting busted has exposed the myth that The Hog's win are the result of his amazing tactical prowess.

 

[Publicus]

Where are Horner, Jani and Levi? I assume they are in this group.

Bryunhell being a tactical genius he is, simply bought off the whole Astana squad to work for Lance in the mountain.

As obviously weak they are (compared to almighty Shack guys who are -- all according to plan of course -- having an easy day today) -- they can be of help sometimes.

we now know for a fact what the investigations are doing to the shack..except for the captain of course

 

[altark123]

There are four Shack riders in the group fyi.

 

[Francois the Postman]

I am on a very delayed feed again it seems. Maybe I should keep an eye on the forum and get some bets in with some of the folk here. "I bet that Thomas will drop any time now..."

Is that landis incognito chasing chavenel?

 

[Francois the Postman]

Melted tarmac on the descent. Better neutralize it now before Voigt gets wind of that danger and he goes ape.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Levi even gets to suck on Uncle Lance's wheel!

 

[altark123]

Hanging on for dear life.

Levi isn't, Lance and Levi up front same as the other main teams with 2 apiece up front.

 

[Cerberus]

Chris Anker from Saxo is setting the pace. I have no idea why?

 

[Publicus]

And they've dropped the pace again.

Levi isn't, Lance and Levi up front same as the other main teams with 2 apiece up front.

Uh, he just moved up and if you look at the profile, you will see that the grade eased. Fact is that Radio Shack got schooled on a freaking Cat 2 climb. I mean, Klodi got shot out the back...that is your 3rd strongest rider?

Levi isn't, Lance and Levi up front same as the other main teams with 2 apiece up front.

Jani and Chris are hanging on the back, probably faking like Klodi.
Are they all sulking over the sleeping arrangements?
Why don't they come and do some work?
They can't win the team comp, back there.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

RS didn't get schooled. Plus Monday is blood bag day.

Apparently he isn't. It was a fairly weak showing by Saxo too. Only Schleck and Chris Anker hanging on which doesn't bode to well for the real mountains.
