Tour de France 2012 (with SPOILERS)

[Flying_Monkey]

Sagan for me today. Or Cav if Sky get him over the bumps successfully.

 

[Peter Armstrong]

How do you even know when this is on tv, I miss it all the time

 

[Noodley]

2pm ITV4

 

[Peter Armstrong]

What about non office hours!

So was that cunning tactics from Saxo ? It seemed the breakaway were deliberately resisting Sorensen's attempts to bridge, so did they force the break to change their minds when Saxo went onto the front of the peloton itself in an attempt to peg the time gap ?

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Sky are just starting to up the pace the peloton now, and the gap is coming down a little... but Shaun Kelly on Eurosport is saying that he thinks the breakaway might succeed as everyone is too tired today. I don't believe it.

 

[smutchin]

Greipel for me today. It's his birthday!

 

[Flying_Monkey]

The gap has come down by a more than a minute in less than 5km. No chance this break going all the way.

 

[Noodley]

What about non office hours!

They race during office hours!
But one hour highlights are 7pm every night on ITV4

 

[raindog]

Greipel for me today. It's his birthday!

Jalabert just said it would be a good opportunity for Cav to wish him happy birthday as they cross the line.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Lotto now taking up the pace. But really, nothing is happening.

 

[Noodley]

It all looks very lovely and french tho.

 

[thom]

What does Ligget mean, Chavanel was not ill ?! He was badly sick in the night and the team doctor told him not to continue !

 

[montage]

Cav must be doing his nut with this lack of interest to catch the break

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Yep, both Lotto and Sky suddenly seem to have entirely given up the pursuit. I don't get it. They were reeling them in comparatively easily before.
