Looking forward to it too. Suspect our colonial cousin Cadel will be in yellow this afternoon. Might bring a smile to his face....

I like Cadel Evans, I know most dont but there's something about his grumpy, squeaky midget ways that makes me smile against a backdrop of bland pro's.

The pace in this first hour is ferocious, they're almost sprinting! Everyone wants to be in the break...

Wiggins on the front as it hits the climb!

One RadioShack jersey, one clumsy owner, for sale. Offers to LA:-)

Anyone know why it appears Minard has a disc rear wheel?

Can any of the other sky riders climb?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Wiggins for sure

Looks like sky are trying to break everyone else

Slightly strange tactics though, you really need about 4-5 riders to blow it to pieces on a climb (like the old US Postal used to do), it'll be a struggle with only 3. Radioshack are knackered after pacing LA back to the bunch though. There's people going out the back but most of the big names are still there without really stretching themselves.

Is Sean Kelly a lurker? Just said was crazy-legs wrote...

Is strange as they aren't exactly setting a high pace as group still has 30 - 40 riders

The route goes right past my mate's chalet on the route up to Avoriaz. I so wish I was there!
Last time I was up there it was like this though :

Is Wiggins trying to destroy them by himself? Slightly dangerous tactic no?

Rest day tomorrow so I guess it's a risk worth taking. LA going out the back now.
Astana are taking it up at the front now.

Armstrong has blown!!

Great to see Sky taking the race by the scruff of the neck. The classic tour stages are built on gutsy riding and this looks to be a great day whatever happens.

Wiggins now looks to be on his own.

@ Stoner - What tyres for the col?

LA should have bowed out gracefully last year, at least he was on the podium. Sky have been looking smug/confident all week, just hope they can walk the walk.

Last climb will be fireworks.
Think that was Wiggo's payback for last years tour.

Anything but SB8's as they were rubbish!

wiggo still has help in the front group
Posted 1 year ago # -
I fancy Wiggo could make a move on Avoriaz.

Another crash for Armstrong...It's not his tour!
Posted 1 year ago # -
it's not really his day is it, oh dear
Posted 1 year ago # -
I really feel quite sorry for Armstrong.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Wiggins should move up a fair bit in the gc tonight

"And they come down like maniacs!!!"

I can't feel sorry for Armstrong to be honest, there's nothing worse than a sportsman trying in vain to hold on to the end of his career, why not just bow out gracefully? What exactly has he got to prove or is the man that self centered than he thinks he's still in prime condition?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Armstrong could have ridden round that one surely. Must be totally screwed to ride into that.
Posted 1 year ago # -
almost looked like the excuse he wanted - he wasn't too quick to get back on the bike. He should get behind Levi now.

Apart from Armstrong's tour ending today (assuming he doesn't have a recovery on the last climb; which he's done before), I'm suprised how many of the super-domestiques and climbers are suffering. The heat and the pace are pretty nasty today, plus an unusually hard week 1 I imagine
Posted 1 year ago # -
I think he's probably at the point where it's all gone wrong, it keeps going wrong and you just can't believe it, you just want to sit down on the road and let it all go.
Gotta feel sorry for that, it's not the end that anyone should have.
