From the tdf live tracking site:

 

'Sep Vanmarcke (BEL) is at front of the peloton that crested the col du Glandon 7'50" behind the two stage leaders. The Belkin rider had bike problems yesterday and was forced to do the second ascent of Alpe d'Huez in the 53 chainring... he posted the 42nd best time for the climb, a little over nine minutes slower than Quintana who was fastest.

 

Fark me...

Reckon he absorbes the O2 directly into his blood system through his skin. Its that being born at 3000 Million metres altitude P&P keep telling us about.

 

Seriously though, the guy is a phenom. I don't think we've seen anything yet - yesterday was the first time he didn't attack too soon and look what he did to Froome.

Look at his ears while he cycles, they wiggle!!!!!! Being a Mayan priest he drinks the blood of the virgins he sacrifices during the full moon. I hope they do not see that as blood dopping!!!!!!!

I know I am a day late on the whole eating enough during a mountain stage debate, But I can rember contador making the same mistake a few years ago, I cant remeberthe race but I remember how he was attacking and leaving every for dead and then whammo. They came past . When he reached the end he was gulping down cokes ( the liquid my locally by abi )

 

Can anyone else remember where it was ?

Sadly Dracs.

Slap the yellow fleece on him and he is a doper too, raw talent or not.

Yes I do love steak, but I test each steak before I eat, I do not want to test positive for Clenbuterol when the UCI forces me to do the next dope test.

I think Tour de Suisse in 2010.

That was a bad bonk. He slowed down like a loaded truck on the flats.

Phill just said there are a lot of Welsh flags around, I saw them, they are all upside down, looks like a dragon doing a crash landing

Who says sprinters cant climb.

 

Cavendish is making a move ahead of the peloton.

Wants the sprint points on the other side of the hill.
