Tour de France 2012 (with SPOILERS)

Vino and Sorensen slowly coming back to Voeckler and Feillu... Really don't want Vino to win this. Oh, Jens too! A Voight win would be awesome, but I can't seem him staying with them on the last climb.

I like Vino

I like Italian wine but not Vinokourov!

I like Vino

Yes, despite everything, I do enjoy watching him. Rooting for Brice Feillu today though.

I like the way he rides, but I can't help thinking that he's one of the most cynical riders out there. Also rooting for Feillu.

Evans now has three teammates dragging him back on.

Call me an old cynic by all means, but I can't help feeling the Torygraph has swallowed the Sky publicity machine's output without any kind of questioning. Yes I hope that Sky stays united as a team, and continues to work for Brad and a Cav stage win in Paris, just as I hope there are no more drug related "suspensions"..... but I fear it may not be the case.

You old cynic.

How much time does Evans put into Nibali in a TT?

 

[thom]

Van Den Broeke was 1 min 29 behind Evans before the stage. Can Lotto make big inroads ?

 

[smutchin]

Presumably Tejay wasn't in the peloton or he'd have been called back to help Cadel by now, surely?

No, he is. He's obviously been told, or decided, to defend the white jersey.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Evans is back on anyway. Just in time for the next climb!

 

[rich p]

If 3 can't pull Evans up the hill then 4 won't either, so it makes sense to keep the white jersey

 

[dellzeqq]

the TdF site is saying that BMC are now chasing the white jersey, and not the yellow

(edit) Cadel now back with the yellow jersey group. He's a tough item!

 

[thom]

Evans back now, but he used team mates. Surely he'll get dropped on the final climb though.
