If Martin continues to climb like this I might start taking the "GC Showdown TdF 2012: T. Martin vs. A. Schleck" thread seriously

Purito is too good on these climbs. Samu, effective as always.

Pretty impressed by Henao. I thought super steep climbs didn't really suit him (and if they actually don't, this probably means he's just that good already).

 

[Parrulo]

samu gained 12 or so on horner and martin right?

he may actually win this which would be great

 

[c&cfan]

[Kvinto]

henao ride heavy gears but he's so explosive and powerful he can do well in steep climbs. but longer steep climbs we have to wait in europe. climbing in colombia and europe are 2 different things. but very promising also considering he hasn't raced in 5 weeks prior to this

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Martin +21s

 

[jens_attacks]

nordhaug very good too.

bad day for papy horner i guess

 

[SantiBotero]

Rogers and Hesjedal not that far

 

[Fetisoff]

12 seconds Samu on Martin (+9 vs +21)

Spilak - another good performance

 

[Bavarianrider]

13 seconds in 100m?yeah.. perfect

What do you expect from a Big Diesel like Tony in such an uphill Sprint?

 

[Gloin22]

Wow, Nordhaug got 5th and he's battling still with his allergies. Great ride !
