Tour de France *Spoilers*

My bet is Schleck,

Kwiatkowski off the back. Shame.

 

[smutchin]

So 4 "GC" people in the group: Mollema, Rolland, JVDB and Schleck

Anybody want to take a stab at who will drop first of those guys? (and probably much earlier than other supposed lesser climbers in the breakaway)

Rolland's form has been indifferent/inconsistent so far, so I'll plump for him. (Hardly surprising, after his efforts in the Giro - I guess he doesn't have the genetic advantage of being Australian.)

Liggett: "This peleton has integrated all over the mountain"

What? They can climb that hill and do higher mathematics?

I hope they do not start to conjugate





any French verbs.

Heh, taken afternoon off work to watch it on TV. Girlfriend is watching a bit while we eat lunch and shouting at the TV "get out of the way you stupid people!".

What's it like to have a girlfriend? Or a job for that matter?

 

[smutchin]

Lopez in the lead group. Is he lost?

He must be making a special effort to show his face after my snide dig at him in the other thread.

Less cycling

My bet would be Jurgen, but it isn't going to happen soon, with those Movistar and Sky riders not interested in participating to help develop another split in the group

By the way, Kyrienka is doing a pretty good Tony Martin look-a-like act so far

Don't forget Kyrienka came 3rd in the worlds TT a few years ago

Roche isn't looking comfortable

 

[Dogtrousers]

Good day for Kwiatkowski. I don't think he'll be allowed in any more breaks.

Mind there are enough climbs over the next couple of days for him to slip back, too.

Looks like he's started his backward slide already. I think he's done for.

I could see him catching the peloton on the descent, but he'll certainly become unhitched on the final climb if he does manage to catch up.

 

[HF2300]

An Astana just ran over his colleague's water bottle at the summit. They must stop doing that.

There are actually still 2 to go (and the next one up is a bit harder than the Peyresourde was) so he'll do well to stick with them until the final climb
