Stage 12 - Spoiler

[Keith Oates]

Another stage that is supposed to suit the sprinters and their teams so I guess Cavendish will be hoping for another win. However a breakaway could also make it stick today and so perhaps Voigt will give it a shot for glory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fancy the Argyle boys to have a pop at a strong breakaway today with Millar being the main architect and looking for a stage win by staying away.
With him slipping down the GC they may well let him go.
Failing that a treble for Cav.

 

[Renard]

Depends on the actual finish really. If its uphill Cavendish won't feature.

Fingers crossed for a Millar breakaway.

I say Hushovd today.

Was great seeing Arvesen and Elmiger get themselves sorted out yesterday towards the end, working together as much as could be expected. Also great to see Moinard trying to catch their wheels as they passed him. Great fighting spirit.

Isn't this the exact stage that Millar won a few years ago? He might well try to go for it as will a few others will similar preferences, but the sprinters' teams will really want to control this as they will not be getting many chances until after the Alps...

All of Saunier Duval are out following Rico's doping.!!

Just saw that abour Saunier Duval and Ricco.

Thought Ricco had an outside chance of victory this year with some of his performances...what a waste.

I'd like Cav to win again today......Is McEwan still racing???????

 

[Keith Oates]

Well the race is still on and Millar with his team seem to be prominant, could this be his day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kennykool]

Cav Again....trying to remember who was mocking him for saying he could win 3 or 4 stages??????

 

[alecstilleyedye]

and by almost a bike's length. top stuff. good end to a bad day in the tour.

 

[gavintc]

Woo Hoo - outstanding result.

 

[yello]

Just a tad casual on the finish, Chavanel wasn't that far away!, but I guess he'd worked out he'd got it. If I was his manager, I might have a quiet word but otherwise another strong finish. He is unbeatable if his team get him to the right place.

But, yeah, where is Robbie McEwan???

 

[CotterPin]

Question is - when they give the TdF it's usual 20 second slot in the sports section on the Today programme tomorrow morning, which will they focus on - Ricco or Cav?

 

[mondobongo]

Great result with possibly one more stage win to come.

Sad to say it will be Ricco with just a mention of Cavendish.
Good news doesn't garner more listeners!
