Tour de France 2012 (with SPOILERS)

[lukesdad]

2007 is an interesting year, 2 times in iLB s chart Soler and the Peleton. Remember the drug crazed Rasmussen and Vino charging up the mountains, yet the slowest average speed for many years prior and since, even Sastre won in a faster time the following year. Hmm

 

[lukesdad]

So, why is this years average speed slower ?

I' ll make it easy for you.

A. The peleton are clean as whistle.
B. A semingly lack of interest from the sprinters teams.
C. Lack of credible challenger/challenge to the Sky Duo.
D. A combination of 2 of the above.

Answers on a postcard.

No, 'the burns' are either the result of months of wind-tunnel testing to break-up the "boundary layer" drag around his bonce, or they are specifically grown to catch tail winds for an extra boost - as he's so skinny. Or both.

wrong again! BC's HQ in Manchester has a wind tunnel specifically to hone 'interference' patterns , and the 'burns are specifically designed to create vortices that batter the rider behind, leaving him confused and exhausted. That's why you'll not see a Sky rider behind Wiggins.

Apart from the stage wins it is all rather quiet. Every one seems too have rolled over or just can't compete with sky

 

[lukesdad]

...... or shall we delve into the tactics of the breakaways tactis in relation to the peleton this year ?

A peleton is when a Brazilian footballer gets his first 100 goals, Noodles.
