Tour de France 2012

[Bianchisti]

Also think the tour has been boring the last few days. The sprinters provide more action then what I've seen in the hills. Cuddles tried again yesterday at the steep climb but that diesel engine of his will not drop Sagan on a hill and it's not because Sagan is that good.

 

I can't believe a guy like cuddles would opt out of going for it all guns blazing to instead protect his 4/5th position. What good is 4th to a guy who's been at the top?

I also think the last few stages have been boring. They are all just defending their positions now unwilling to take a chance and lose 5 positions. Unless Wiggo and Sky show some weakness in the Pyrenees I think it will just be a march forward.

 

Thank goodness for Sagan who at least animates the race and go's out and gives it a tonk, .......and didnt I hear here somewhere Sagan cant climb? ...........Naa, cant be, I most likely had a bit too much red wine that day.

 

Totally agree grumps, I would give this tour to Sagan on entertainment value alone. The GC has been a real snoozefest and looks like it will remain one. The only guy who can test Wiggins is his own teammate. The sky motorcade will continue to pace hard all the way to paris and nobody with even the faintest hope of victory will be allowed to overtake it.

 

If yesterday's steep ramps on the final climb were no use to the GC aggressors then today's stage will surely provide zero action as well.

 

Pathetic that a few drawing pins became the second biggest point of interest yesterday after the breakaway.

Please God let somebody put Wiggins under pressure. So tired of watching the sideburned-cyborg cruise-control his way to the line in every stage.

This will be the best stage to make any change in GC.

Evans should hang ten till the last climb then go ALL out to see if Sky can cope.
