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

[Wergeland]

I don't know, Thor is hardly a (pure) sprinter anymore. He's barely done any sprint training this season, what with his collarbone breaking almost immediately after the classics. I think him (and other semi-fast finishers) being there or not is entirely up to the GC guys.

EBH to win from the break.

Sky won't let EBH go in a breakaway. He's there for Wiggins. He might be allowed to do something in the last climb though. But only after fetching bottles all day.

Saxo finally take up the chase. I thought for a second they were trying to give up the jersey--which I think would be a good idea.

Aren't you west coast? When do you sleep?

I am. At night. I got a good 5 hours last night.

Ideal would be real time. But I've gotten used to waking just as the race heats up. I don't know what I'd do if I was in Cali or later

Catching up on chase play.
Amazingly, 1st attack of the day sticks again.
What is going on, this year?

it's pretty well scripted who can go and who can't. There aren't a lot of surprises

 

[scribe]

That and Evans hasn't tried to sneak in there yet

You guys see that idiot with his *** showing on the left just now?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Haha! Kloden yawning.
I guess he didn't get such a good night's sleep in that lovely bed he had!

[Moondance]

Finally some aid for Saxo... I still think the chances for this break are good.

Hmmm... A minute off the lead in less than 15 minutes.

Me and my big mouth

 

[Cobblestones]

Roux fell. How did he manage that?

 

[hrotha]

I started watching 20 or 25 minutes after the start thinking I'd get at least a good half an hour of attacking goodness until a group got away. Instead I got to see the breakaway already had a 3 minute gap. What gives.

Quickstep shut down all the counterattacks.

Who predicted BBox controlling/driving the peloton?

 

[vcampbell]

Who hoped that Voeckler or Fedrigo want to win this stage.

 

[Potomac]

A rainy morning where I live, so a guilt free layabout on the couch watching the tour instead of getting some exercise.
