Tour de France 2012

[dev null]

It is rumoured that a Lampre rider was storing booties into his jersey pockets.

There was a slowing down in the peloton and he only had one hand to brake and lost his front wheel.

Then the dominoes fell.

 

All this at about 70 km/h...

 

 

Ja, then some okes harps on about us noobs doing stupid things in the peloton. He should have moved to then back to do this. He might have ended 1 or 2 rider's careers with that move.

Good Lord. No need to be so dramatic. Whatever happened, it was part of racing.

LL Sanchez elbows a spectator....

 

Another rider first squirts water at a flag-bearing spectator then throws him with the waterbottle (not to be tried on the east rand)

Froome was incredible!

 

But when he stood up to attack, he looked like a praying mantis at a rave party!

[slowpoke]

Ha ha

I told you so

He is my man

[urbanroyal]

Froome ....unbelievable ...wonder what his power output was ...?

The GC ladder is shaken up with an Englishman, Aussie and Italian in the top 3.

 

Super domestique to Wiggo, Froome, gets his moment of glory. Even the emotionless Cadel looked stunned as he vroem-vroemed past.

 

Nibs did well to stay in touch with the two Maillot Jaune favourites!

Chris Froome: My new favorite roadie pro, incredible ride, and came across in the interview like a true gentleman, humble and grounded.

[Mackie]

Sagan also popped a respectable wheelie!

The sight of Froome pulling effortlessly away from Evans at the finish will live long in the memory. In most teams he'd be number one.

 

And he's up to 9th overall.

Praise from Contador:

Hand it to Froome, he's a very nice man as well as a strong rider.

That puncture earlier in the week knocked back his GC standing.

Pity.

Let's see whether he can climb up that ladder over the next two weeks.

No one looks elegant on a 20 degree climb after 1200 plus kms over 6 days... Something like that.
