Tour de France 2012 (with SPOILERS)

[yello]

So we have Sagan, Griepel, EBH?

 

[yello]

Is Wiggins staying out of the way or riding as part of a train???

 

[Chuffy]

Wiggy for a seated sprint?!

 

[Chuffy]

How wide is Greipel's mouth? I bet he can eat a pizza without folding it.

 

[yello]

Top stuff! Good win for Griepel but what a guy Wiggins! Leading out EBH!

 

[raindog]

Urgh. Not Vino. Come on Lotto!

Hadn't seen that, but anyway. Anyone but Vino!

 

[smutchin]

No! He'll stay for Paris, where hopefully we'll see Wiggo do what he did for EBH today.

Yup. The Tour is going to be the best prep for the Olympics and he'll want a win on the Champs. Besides, assuming Wiggy wins, wouldn't you want to cross the line with the first ever British winner?

Seeing the yellow jersey lead out the sprint was something else wasn't it?

I actually wondered if he was having a dig himself, looked like Eddy B was hanging off the back of Wiggy's wheel there.

Cav has been voted (by a jury including Hinault) the best ever sprinter of the TdF and will be interviewed post race on Fr television, so don't miss it.
(Well, that is, if you think Cav is cool )

Wiggins was really impressive up that climb. Evans went and had got some distance but Wiggins closed it down on his own and looked pretty darned comfortable afterwards. Rogers and Froome came back later. He hasn't got Evans' ability to accelerate but he's more than a match otherwise. I'm probably more impressed with him these last few days than I have been before. He's a clever rider I reckon.

With Box Hill in mind, I'm getting worried about Cav's seeming inability to get over lumps. With the way he's been climbing of late, it seems incredible now that he actually won MSR a few years back.
