Tour de France 2012

Goss .... maybe but then again maybe not ... perhaps lady luck might be kind to him. But would be great if Green Edge got a stage win.

Picked Goss and Green Edge in my TDF team. Silly girl.

@ Dale. Saw a pair of those Ltd edition Leakygas Ergo's at CWC. Im not a big fan of white shoes but they seriously HOT!!

 

Yeah, had to get a pair.

Feel like Sagan in 'em.

It is 14:05 but the DSTV live streaming is showing Athletics - come on MultiCrap.

I scheme he is tired. The season is taking its toll. Who knows what is going to happen in this week especially Wed, Thur....

 

Wouldnt that be refreshing..

All I know Is that Nibs will not take Cadel in the TT. I think he needs 1:30 over him to have a chance. I would love Nibali or Evans to use the 1-2 Skyy scenario to their advantage. They need to attack Froome, forget about Wiggo.. at least be cleaver and fight for 2nd.

 

It might be interresting to see If Skyy can maintain this pace through an entire tour..

Some of us chose Garmin and they're all but obliterated (along with Rabobank).....

[TNT1]

didnt I hear here somewhere Sagan cant climb? ...........Naa, cant be, I most likely had a bit too much red wine that day.

 

When he can stay with the Tejay group on climbs when Froome smokes the field, than I'll admit he can climb a bit. Until that cold day in hell, I'll stick to my guns.

Guess he'll just have to make do with that manky green jersey (on debut) until he wins your respect.

What's with Sky and EBH's arms-out pose? Oh, of course, we'll slow down for you, says the peloton...

It would be interresting to see what happens if Wiggins cracks in one of the two mountain stages. Will Sky let Froome loose or will he be ordered to tow the boss home?

Brailsford has been explicit in all his recent interviews. Sky wants a Sky rider on the top step in Paris. He has been careful not to mention names when pushed. Sure, he and the riders tow the line and are one hundred percent behind Wiggins, but when pushed, the boss has put team above any single rider.

Was wondering the other day what happened to Didi the Devil. He has apparently been in an accident and is missing the Tour. 1st one since 1993 he misses. My apologies if it has been mentioned before.

Looks like a funride in the peloton today...

I dont think it has been mentioned

I was also looking for him :-(

Didi's colour was suppose to have been changed to orange because of new sponsor www.wiggle.co.uk.

Tour Devil” Didi Senft confirmed that he will miss the Tour this year for the first time, but that things are finally looking up after his surgery last month.

“I just got back from having my head x-rayed, the third time in three weeks, I feel like a Chernobyl reactor.,” he toldCyclingnews. “Today the results were much better and I can start doing more things every day, (unfortunately without the Tour).”
