2012 Tour de France Stage 11: Albertville - La Toussuire-Les Sybelles

next decent sounds great, this Rodgers fella....is he near any postion to go for the yellow?

 

[blue gunslinger]

gotta love a comment like quite clearly I am better than the timing equipment. Lets just wait and see if it is corrected

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Liz Cambage can't be female. Surely.

 

[No BS!!]

Rogers, Porte, Froome ominous.

Cadel has done a good job splitting the peloton and now has Van Garderen in the group with him.

I reckon Cadel needs to take a minute at least or his race is over.

hasnt seemed to weaken sky or wiggins at all. had to give it a go.

i dont think he'll get a minute on the last climb though. he and nibali need to launch attacks up mollard and roll down mollard like madmen. it's a short climb but a decent descent.

rogers almost crashing on a decent... wow, havent seen that before

 

[Tigerdrive]

heck team sky are beasts...

They remind me of the Iceland ice hockey team in mighty ducks 2..

Haha that's not a bad analogy, let's hope the Ducks (BMC) win in the end!

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I hear there is a hard descent coming up can anyone confirm?

Not as hard as it is technical.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Not as hard as it is technical.

I hear the surface is iffy

Love watching Chris Anker Sorensen climb. He always looks in so much pain, even when he is riding well

 

[Donakebab]

Next attack to come late on the pseudo climb before the final descent. Sky keep taking bad lines, make them work hard going down and take time both descending and the final climb.

Looks like he is bobbing for apples.

Either that, or he is a real unco bastard.

 

[Selective Retention]

Would have been good to see Contador take it up to Sky.

 

[Saint Shags]

Next attack to come late on the pseudo climb before the final descent. Sky keep taking bad lines, make them work hard going down and take time both descending and the final climb.

Would be the best way to do it, take time out of Wiggins and try consolidate before the last climb.

good female golfer?

She was on my flight to the States. Massive person.

 

[nicko99]

Any thoughts for the final 18ks?

 

[Papa Juggs]

Groupe maillot jaune gonna mop them all up.

 

[JasRulz63]

Team Sky procession to the line.

 

[Donakebab]

About time Rogers cracked. With 2 in support I don't see anyone troubling Wiggins today.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

She was on my flight to the States. Massive person.

Surprised the plane could take off.

 

[Papa Juggs]

6 left ahead.

Rolland to make a move?

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Has any rider from sky even gotten out of the saddle yet today? Everyone else at some stage has been standing on their pedals. Not sky it seems.


Oh: just there. And again. They are human.

 

[mattys123]

Even Phil is calling for an attack against Sky now.

 

[Crackers27]

Surely Nibali or Van den Broeck will attack soon

 

[Crackers27]

Nibali attacks and Porte cracks
