Tour de France 2012

Eurosport commentary seems to be confirming tacks on the road caused the punctures.

Maybe that's from race radio... they were avoiding committing to anything and then made that statement.

LL Sanchez hasn't fucked about opening that gap.

Tacks thrown on road says French radio. Unbelievable.

apparently 28 tacks have been found on the road

Is that a live photo or just a library thing.

i.e. evidence or just you showing what tacks look like?

Photo of tacks found at a UK race last year after numerous rider punctures.

Sánchez celebrating before he crossed the line, tut tut. Tempting fate, he's lucky he didn't puncture and have to run home.

GC competition today effectively ruined by tack thrower. Wonder if that muppet from Scotland who attacked the Etape de Caledonia travelled to France to continue his protest.

Wasn't that the local mayor? The Caledonian one?

wasn't he a legal professional?

It was the council chairman in 2009.

It was the council chairman in 2009.

That was it... a local council dude who felt that the local roads shouldn't be closed for the race so sought to sabotage it.

Can't imagine a similar thing in France though.

They guy was actually charged with vandalism, and to top it all off the charges were then dropped!

Happened again last year apparently, but it didn't disrupt anything as they organizers spotted it and cleared it up first

I think that this will be similar to the arseholes with flairs the other day. I find it quite sad; there are very few events where fans can get as close to the top pros while they are competing, and for some reason dicks seem to be out to spoil it!

He was council leader and, if I recall, a vicar.

Humble Sagan is being humble regards having his dinner whilst Sanchez attacked.

Roland deserves a kick in les balls.

It always comes down to religion in the end.

Bermuda... never mind my comment

Enjoy

Thanks

Work is work and sometimes easier when it is wet and grey.

You don't have to be religious to be a nutter........

But it does help!

Awesome for climbing.
