Tour de France 2012 (with SPOILERS)

[Nearly there]

How long do riders spend warming up n down?

It's quite obvious that Cav should never have signed for Sky

(this post wasn't a cut and paste)

and in any case should definintely leave Sky before next season

He's also wasting his time going to the Olympics

(this may or may not be cut and paste)

((now where did that wheel go?))

EBH gave Cav an armchair ride to the finish

Wow. Just wow.

this is deffo cut an paste

Mark Cavendish on the help he got from his Team Sky team-mates to win stage 18 of the Tour de France: "We spoke on the bus before the start and Shane Sutton said it was going to be an easy day for us. I stuck my hand up straight away and said 'please, just give me a chance'. Wiggo committed straight away, Chris Froome committed straight away and they did a superb job for me today.
And on his amazing explosive finish: "Edvald Boasson Hagen just led me into the last corner and we had a gap. I just knew I was going to go for it. I have done nothing all Tour so I knew I had the energy in the bank. I went with five or six hundred metres to go and I knew no-one was getting past.

Haha, Ned Boulting asked Cav if he thought he was the fastest man in the world as Brad had said he thought so. Cav replied sheepishly: "errr yeh, is that arrogant?"

Ooooooh now I really don't like this - email just in from Ribble "additional 10% off in celebration of Wiggins win in the TdF".

No no no no no no no. Stop temping fate. He still hasn't won it yet. Making me scared now.

Roll on Sunday post [hopeful] Wiggo win, then I can relax and celebrate.....

 

[ColinJ]

I was somewhat impressed!

When you watch the endless replays look for the reaction of Luis Leon sanchez as Cav blasts past him. His body language says it all: 'oh FFS what's the point?'

 

[beastie]

Pardon?

Ha I typed that on my moblie last night in response to someone complaining to the BBC about lack of coverage. FOr some reason it didn't post it until this afternoon. Bought 8 hours later. While I am here -today was like watching Cav hunt down the line at MSR-which can only bode well for the Olympics!!

That was amazing by the manx missile, at 10 lengths back I didn't think he could do it, them bam he took it.

I am no sky fan, but that was a pretty impressive turn of speed indeed.

I'm shaking with the excitement wasn't it fantastic.

 

[perplexed]

I don't know about Cancellara and batteries, but I'm wondering how the hell Sky manage to hide the afterburners on Cavs bike...

I don't think anyone's reaction today had anything to do with with they were a 'Sky fan' or not... that was just a World Champion's finish.
