Tour de France 2012

Nicely done!

Superb move.

ITV stream has just crapped out (on an ad break thankfully).

They didn't have a GC goal, they were all about the Green and stages. Green bid stopped after Gossy's relegation so now they can only hope for stages.

Still not going well for them but as the second Australian team in the Tour after Team Murdoch it's not too bad a showing.

I had Gerrans in my fantasy team. He's scored 20 points all sodding tour. This the man that out-sprinted Cancellara and Sagan to win the Milan-San Remo

What are liquigas up to? Trying to burn Sky out?

Voeckler grabbing a bottle and pouring it over himself for cooling I think, if it's the same bit I saw. Think they generally know not to drink random bottles tbh

Bit late, but Rolf Sørensen told an anecdote a couple of days ago, about how he did the same thing, only the bottle contained mustard, which he poured all over his face, and didn't have a bottle of water to wash off...

Nibali wants the stage win to go with his third place overall.

.

My bad. Sorry

And again, Tommy is so much fun to watch.

King of the puncheurs. Can't believe he hasn't paid harder for yesterdays efforts.

Surely, surely Voeckler and Kessiakoff are going to burn out before the top of Port de Bales?

Tommy loves the pain

He must be a nightmare opponent or team mate, but he is a joy to watch.

I have him too. He's supposed to be OGE's GC contender I think.

I'm hoping nibbles and liquigas make a serious all-out attack rather than a little token 'oh well i'll still get 3rd' attack like yesterday.

Attacking is so easy after all.

^^ That's easy to say when you're not riding over the top of the Tourmalet.

Can we raise an eyebrow? Mind you he was sitting about whinging about his knee for the first half of the race

Me too.
I put an optimistic 20sheets on him for yellow about 3 months ago, I also had a tenner on shittyknickers Cuddles but the less said about that the better.

I thought we weren't allowed to speculate on doping on this thread?

Nibali seems to have given up on the overall and wants a stage by the sounds of it. Liquigas are trying to set it up for him, which means Sky will have to match them, which means all the other poor sods in the Pelton are going to have to keep up. A lot of people will be telling their legs to shut up

How is Cancellara doing in this Tour?

It's all right - he is not British ;)

^^ He got pregnant?

His nickname is "Hollywood". And WTF is it with those bibshorts he wears?
