Exergy thinks Fast Freddy can win today!

To cry about all the time it seems, no other reason he watched this

Because you were so positive about it in Utah, where there was actually something to watch.

 

[Jeriko]

I like Carlton but his inane gibbering has really wound me up tonight. This whole show is just brutal, I'm an idiot for sticking with it.

 

[Havetts]

Andy doing an Andy, sitting in the back of the peloton in any race besides the Tour.

LOL commentary???

"Gesink had a pretty good Tour de France"

What TDF did they watch? 2010 instead of 2011?

 

[jobiwan]

Come on Andy, get to the front. At least show up. Please!

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Maurice Green looks ooooooooooooooooooold

 

[jobiwan]

HTC's got a lot of special jerseys!

Hey I was positive about the race. Just not about the directing... that was awful, wrong images all the time. Show the front group when it wasn't necessary and showing other groups when they had to follow the front. That was really terrible coverage. I had the right to whine there

Libertine isnt bad at it, (s)he's just bored of the 'catch-the-break-at-2km-of-the-finish-Cavendish-sprinting-for-the-win-without-any-effort-i.e.-hills'.

Might be me not minding it cause I hate it myself too.

I like it cos Libertine isnt scared to say the same thing no matter how many times the Cav fans go hard at him for it.

Oh and its a he, you dont need the (s)

Thats a topic for 3 subforums down

 

[jobiwan]

White and Thomson with a few last attempts to survive.

I did wonder whether to note that.

 

[jens_attacks]

how steep is the final climb?
i'm whining already so don't tell me that it we'll be between forster and freddy

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

appearently the ticker never heard of Gilbert or Sagan

He/she thinks Evans is unbeatable in an uphill sprint

 

[jobiwan]

3 second time bonus in Crested Butte sprint, and then 10 seconds at the finish.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Breakaway decides to give up before anyone with any sense starts watching.

 

[jobiwan]

Break caught. All together now!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

the final climb is about 5% average. It's like Sierra Nevada but 15km shorter

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Do we have a reliable distance for the final climb - 3, 4, 5km?

 

[jobiwan]

Hopefully Henao attacks!! That'll liven this race up!

Or Alejandro Valverde or Samuel Sanchez or Joaquim Rodriguez.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

33.8km/h average. Even I can get those averages with our local tour group

 

[jobiwan]

About 3 kilometers.
