Tour de France 2012 (with SPOILERS)

I thought Cav would keep his powder dry for Sunday but it looks like Sky are aiming to set it up for him after all. <frisson of excitement>

Win or lose, I think it helps to get back into the swing of things now.
Come on Cav !

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Hmm, Paolini and Vinokourov now up there. But they aren't getting away.

 

[smutchin]

You've got to admire Vino's chutzpah.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

There's a lot of random attacks coming out of the peloton, but these will only help the bunch bring back the break.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Aargh, not getting any time gaps now, must be all within about 10 seconds from each group to the next.

 

[rich p]

is Cav still there?

 

[Flying_Monkey]

is Cav still there?

I think so.

 

[rich p]

just behind wiggo I think

 

[Twizit]

5.5km to go - 11 second lead for the break - can't see it staying there....

I am saddened that my not-very-interesting facts of the day do not get onto anybody's list of "must read" TdF pieces

Of course they're 'must reads' Noodle. cycle chat refuse to delete them despite the on-line petition, the 24 hour picket and two mass demonstrations

 

[Flying_Monkey]

More coming off the front of the peloton. But I think this will come back together.

 

[thom]

Please, nobody fall in this rain

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Staying at around 10 seconds though.

 

[YahudaMoon]

Bunch finish. Swallowed up just before the line

 

[VamP]

Hang on, a wheel has just come off my armchair, lemme see...
