Dauphiné 2012

I doubt that , Frandy Schleck is having a k#k season. period

Cool, man.

 

He better put in a good race otherwise J B is gonna kick his azzzz.

Aggenee, not again.

Bruyneel must be fuming with all the drama within his team.

 

JB must be fuming that the Texan has retired and Vino kicked him off the Astana team to go with RSN and all the geriatrics he could gather around him. He then hatched a cunning plan to steal some talent from Leopard, only for virtually all of them to show him the bird. Crash, crash, crash, just not in the mood in top 4 riders means very little to show for his "merger". Spartacus towing the finishers in Milan San Remo only to ensure Green Edge won. Even Horner looked silly to attack in ATOC without checking where his zimmer frame was. K@k tactics all round.

 

If JB was Afikaans he'd now be a box. He is the problem, not the riders he has at his disposal. He bought them all, don't forget.

 

As much as I have liked AS over the past few years and as gutted as I felt at chaingate, I really hope he bombs at the tour this year as it might lead to the last of the Gen EPO managers being forced out of a very talented Leopard team.

And I was just reading this...

 

Schleck: I’ve abandoned enough times already this year

 

Anyone else see that Skye are rumoured to be dumping Pinarello in favour of Spez' next year. Cav' will be back on his favourite bike.

Eish!

I think what we saw on stage 5 will repeat itself in the tdf as well. Sky is a powerhouse team, strong enough to close down any attacks by the other gc contenders. Evans got away with 3 team mates and 3 Liquigas guys including Nibali, in a break of about 13 riders, and still Sky was able to close it down. If that move could not work none will. Thats why I think no long breaks will get away as long as Wiggins is in contension @ the tdf. Sky will control it for Wiggins in the way US postal did for LA, meaning the difference in time will come from the TTs and the 3 mountain top finishes. I hope Evans can beat Wiggins in one of the first 2 TTs, which would make the race much more inteesting.

 

I like the comparison to US Postal.

True there, Christie.

 

Team Sky looking formidable with Wiggo and Froome as strong GC 1-2

[Cav']

Sky's the best pro team at the moment ( the sky's the limit)

Andy Schleck is a douchebag of note

[Cav']

Well done Wiggins -

Twiggo never sweated or panicked.

Calm effort supported by one helluva committed team.

Let's hope he keeps this form until the tour.

Sky has a tough task ahead in naming their tdf team - more climbers for Wiggo or more lead out men

for Cav.

I guess they have to prioritize for the GC so Sagan can earn his green jersey, eh?

:-)

I think the Cav will just am to increase his sprint victory tally on the flatter finishes.

Wiggins is not the type op person to show his emotion much. That celebration looked quite subdued.

As long as Cav has Eisel he'll be fine

Yeah, it's not the big one.

He's clearly focusing on the 'other' yellow jersey.

Well done Wiggins -

 

Never in the history has the winner of this race gone ahead and won TdF....

[Cav']

Never in the history has the winner of this race gone ahead and won TdF....

First time for everything i guess....

 

Never has an Ausie won the tdf twice in a row....

 

We can go on for hours
