Tour de France 2012 (with SPOILERS)

[smutchin]

Goss, Cav, Greipel, Renshaw at the intermediate sprint. True to form of this year so far. Interesting to see them all going for the scraps - including Mark "not chasing green" Cavendish, who made intelligent use of Renshaw's wheel.

The Lotto boys seemed to go too early - less than ideal for Greipel.

It's a shame Hushovd isn't riding this year.

Yates was just asked about this through the team car window, and replied "well, you never know"

Excitement is building now. Everyone jostling for position.

Waymarker almost got nuked there!

Twat with a camera alert, shoot him!

 

[Sittingduck]

Nicely done, dodging that bottle

Cancellara is awesome again. Didn't quite get the stage win, but fantastic time gain and balls of steel

 

[raindog]

That win was too easy to predict.

Hesjedal was 9th - mark my words he's going to have a good Tour.

 

[smutchin]

Cancellara, Sagan and EBH all very impressive today. Evans too.

Thought Cav might be able to stick with the lead group up the final climb but the pace was ridiculously fast, completely shredded the peloton.

Brilliantly cheeky winner's salute by Sagan.

Whats with the 'birdie song' finish ?

Not a good look >>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[Nearly there]

Think they look a bit weird. Not sure I like them.

Me neither prefer team colours + clashed with movistar

 

[yello]

That was a brutal finish. I thought some were going to get off and walk

EBH gave it a real good go I thought, just not enough left in the tank. Sagan looked comfortable.

Looked pretty steep didn't it!

I would be angry if I was Canca', with Sagan sitting on my wheel and refusing to help out. I suppose that's just how it is. Felt sorry for Canca' though. He deserved the win!

 

[tigger]

Well Sagan made that look easy. Shame for Cancellara, did all the work and didn't even get any time. Noted Hesjedal at 9th too.
