Sham and Boonan go well together.. Pointless, lost his soul for riding that fella.
Totally pointless entering this race for him, pointless and dissapointing. QuickStep should never have picked him, he's pulled out of nearly every Tour he's entered.. (scuttles off to Wiki to find facts)
Ok, BOT,
I'd go Far(rar) to say this lads in Transition..
Did you see what I did there, did ya's??
Wikkid. £4, I now have Eurosport player at work. And I can switch the audio feed to English 🙂
Sod the cycling; I want to visit that Framboise place! 🙂
Have you guys seen this site?
SRM power meters tracking live. Go to terrain mode on the map, pretty cool esp when I cant see the race live......
(You all know about this already dont you)
Yes, we do 🙂
Well at least I found it before they have go over the Telegraph/Galibier/Alpe Axis of Evil.....I did that last year and I swear my heartrate almost went to zero permanently.
thanks for that mcboo. I hadnt seen it. Now for total immersive TdF viewing! 😉

That site is ace.
Shame it only has a few riders.
Crash.

Ooof!!
No!
Wiggins down
Does that look like abroken collarbone for wiggins?
collarbone
Wiggins injured?
not looking good
He doesn't look keen to get back on. Support riders have gone on
out
I think I saw the medic put some green screens up and charge the bolt gun 🙁
Yep, even if he does get on, he's now stuffed in terms of GC. 🙁
****sticks.
Do you think sky will start riding for Geraint now..?
gutted for him
Don't think G can climb mountains.
Anyway what's going on all I have is STW and a text feed.
Do you think sky will start riding for Geraint now..?
Logical choice except he's not a GC contender really. White jersey is probably a realistic shot. I imagine Sky won't be too keen to ride at all at the moment, the loss of Bradley will hit them hard.
A quote from Bradley Wiggins earlier "Some of them cant ride their bikes very well." Tempted fate there.
I cant imagine what's going through his head right now and am not entirely sure I want to.
he is out today
Is he def forced to abandon?
yep confirmed out just before they went to the break.
Wiggins waiting for an ambulance. Gutted for him 🙁
Wiggo's abandoned. 🙁
Looks like it. Unless they are putting him in an ambulance to help him catch up with the peloton.
Confirmed that he's out now.
17:23:58 CEST
Bradley Wiggins has climbed into an ambulance and abandoned the Tour de France. It's not clear if he injured his collarbone, his wrist or his elbow (or all three), but in any case, Wiggins' Tour challenge is over.
17:22:32 CEST
Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Cervelo) also went down in the Wiggins crash, but he is chasing back on to the rear of the peloton in the Vinokourov-Leipheimer group.
17:21:19 CEST
That crash split the peloton, and Alexandre Vinokourov (Astana) and Levi Leipheimer (RadioShack) are among the riders caught behind.
17:19:48 CEST
Wiggins sits in the ditch on the side of the road, with a sad look of resignation. A gaggle of Sky riders including Edvald Boasson Hagen had waited, but they've since set off without their leader. Remi Pauriol (FDJ) is also down, and seated at the roadside.
17:18:28 CEST
Chris Horner was also one of the riders down in that incident, although he seemed to be getting back on his bike.
17:17:56 CEST
Wiggins is on his feet, but is moving very gingerly, and he is clutching his left elbow. It looks as though his Tour de France is over.
39km remaining from 215km
17:16:43 CEST
Another crash in the peloton. Bradley Wiggins is down and seems to be suffering from a shoulder injury. He's being examined by the doctor and it's not looking good for the Briton.
Yup just confirmed he has abandoned
Is he def forced to abandon?
It looks like he has abandoned. But even if not the gap is now so big that any chance of being competitive in the GC is out of the question
Gutted
16.20 / 32.5km It looks like broken collar bone for Wiggins. He definitely hasn't got back on his bike and he has abandoned this year's tour. Massively disappointing for Team Sky and a rider who looked in great form.
Target some stage wins then now or just get some practice leading out Cav for 2013?
Suspected broken collar bone.
Been beasting himself and dieting for months then BANG, all over. This is a tough sport.
Mincing footballers everywhere take note.
Have Sky got any climbers in the team? I'd love to see them now focus on Geraint Thomas for GC, or the white jersey at least. If not EBH for some stage wins I guess.
I'm upset. I was really looking forward to watching Wiggo in the hills. Poor bugger, he was doing so well too.
Really sucks.
Cav gets the points at the sprint, now to get reformed for the finish..
