Pah Bear Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Remember previous years when the breakaway would have 20 or 25 minutes on the Group some days?Ya, how Thomas V got into the yellow jersey and kept it for ... more than a week?
Pah Bear Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 "... In the ninth stage of the 2011 Tour de France, Voeckler led a breakaway, and crossed the line second, taking the overall-time lead and therefore wearing the maillot jaune. He held on to the yellow jersey daily from the beginning of Stage 10 onwards, carrying it through all the Pyrenean mountain stages and into the Alps, but he was unable to retain it at the end of Stage 19, the queen stage finishing at Alpe D'Huez. Voeckler finished in fourth place in the GC, 3min 20sec behind the winner, Cadel Evans."

'Dale Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 This is where race radios make me roll my eyesAs the roleurs start to chip away at Bodnar's lead as they get the news from their respective DSes Imagine a Grand Tour with stages 3, 7, 13, 16 and 19 designated as a race without race radiosAnd ample responsibly trained motos for safety watch

'Dale Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Would love to see Bodnar's w/kg over the last 10 kms... #roleurpower
'Dale Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 It crosses several junctions and roundabouts in the final kilometres but on big roads. Things get a bit narrower in the final kilometre and there’s a left hand bend with 650m to go, it’s not tight but it will stretch the field out before the 600m finishing straight. Inner Ring Enough to save Bodnar as it's somewhat twisty.... Cmon
'Dale Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 And the pack of wolves chip away 4.5 kms17 seconds for Bodnar
