Tour de France 2012 (with SPOILERS)

This is absurd. Sky have still got Knees, Rogers, EBH, Porte and Froome with Wiggins. They haven't had to shed a single climbing domestique yet. There has just been no challenge so far today.

10 points for the last 2 summits apparently which would mean TV taking over the jersey assuming Kessiakoff takes none.

Sagan is finally dropping off the back.

10 points for the last 2 summits apparently which would mean TV taking over the jersey assuming Kessiakoff takes none.

According to official website Kessiakoff at 103, Voeckler at 87.

Is that 10 points each summit?

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Couple of Liquigas boys upping the pace but not with any conviction.

 

[smutchin]

Liquigas are really stepping up the pace now. EBH has done his stint and dropped off. Maybe it'll all kick off on the final climb...

d.

yes

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Love watching Voeckler descend...

 

[rich p]

the aspin up that way is too easy to launch an attack - it'll be for nibali on the descent and then the peyresourde

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Evans has gone!

 

[rich p]

Evans cracking?

 

[smutchin]

Evans has cracked!

 

[aJohnson]

Wow, Evans starting to drop off.

The thing is that it's Basso setting the pace now, and he's just going to do exactly the same kind of job as Sky's domestiques, which suits Wiggins more than anyone.
