Dumpykym Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Give that man a Yellow!!!!......... Brilliant!!! Awesome!!!
Bianchisti Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Awesome Daryl. Do we think he will be able to get over those Cat 2 climbs early on tomorrow to stay in touch and keep yellow???????
T-Bob Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Only thing better than seeing Impey being the first African to wear yellow (and who would have put money on that last week?) is seeing the awesome level of stoke and excitement from you guys. CAAD4 1
'Dale Posted July 4, 2013 Author Posted July 4, 2013 Awesome Daryl. Do we think he will be able to get over those Cat 2 climbs early on tomorrow to stay in touch and keep yellow??????? Unlikely, but possible.If the GC chasing big guns start playing out their strategies then all riders like Daryl will be spat out, most likely.
Pure Savage Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 That yellow jersey performs miracles! Thomas voekler a few years ago and that kid in daphine did beyond what was thought possible when wearing yellow!
Bianchisti Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Unlikely, but possible.If the GC chasing big guns start playing out their strategies then all riders like Daryl will be spat out, most likely. I'm starting to think he can keep yellow. The 2 Cat2's is in the mid 3rd of the stage. After that it's too small bumps with a 40km downhill into the finish. The sprint trains will help OGE to chase down a break. The GC guys have no reason to push things tomorrow, no seconds to gain. I'm betting OGE can help him keep it. If they go out controlling the pace up front for the first part, keep Daryl in touch over the cat 2' he can get back on over the last 70kms. Go Daryl!!!

'Dale Posted July 4, 2013 Author Posted July 4, 2013 After success at the Giro, Astana now down to SIX Astana’s Janez Brajkovic is out of this year’s Tour de France after crashing with less 10 kilometres to go on Thursday’s stage 6 from Aix-En-Provence to Montpellier. Astana had already lost Fredrik Kessiakoff after the Swede crashed earlier in the stage and abandoned. Andrey Kashechkin withdrew on stage 3 suffering from illness.
'Dale Posted July 4, 2013 Author Posted July 4, 2013 A sticky bottle?This is the practice where a rider gets a waterbottle from the team car and as the team manager passes it up, the rider holds on – as if it’s sticky – whilst the car accelerates to give the rider an illegal boost. For example yesterday Sylvain Chavanel was fined 100 Swiss Francs for ravitaillement portant atteinte à l’image du cyclisme or “feeding that damages the image of cycling.”
Bianchisti Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 How special a gesture is that! What a guy! "Simon gave up his opportunity to wear the yellow jersey for another day and to give it to me. That’s magical. I like to think that we are sharing it.” - Daryl Impey T-Bob 1
