I was about to ask the same thing - how did he cope last year on that wet descent which scared the Shlecks?
edit - or had he crashed out by that point?
An Englishman in yellow and a Brit in the chase for Wimbledon!!! 👿
This is getting a wee bit tense 😯
Gonna be proper close. It's like watching Hart's world champs DH run..
Got to wonder if the Radioshack trio will try something though. Seems odd you get three in the chasing pack and they're doing bugger all.
An englishman in yellow a Canadian defending his title, Muppet TDF comentators don't half come out with some rubbish lol!
Edit: they talk in a string of cliches
Would love to see Kessiakoff come back on this one. He's been a man posessed today

Their GC race is over, why not go for stage wins?
😉
LOL @ the FDJ guy in the car.
That mad man shouting at you has got to spur you on!
Is bastille day early this year?
An error strewn Liggett or sleep inducing Sean Kelly, the choice is yours!
Well there would be no real risk to their classifications if, as a trio, they'd attacked before the end of the climb and tried to gap the others. Plus Schleck might get a handful of seconds back from the others.
Go Pinot.
I need an angry man shouting at me while I'm riding.
Madiot going mental! 😉
Cuddles goes....
Cadel's gone off the front!
dig in Bradley.
Exciting stuff!
Great great stage
VERY LOUD NOISES!
Chapeau Frenchy!
phew
Blinking flip that was exciting. 😀
Is there any other sport on this afternoon?
Beautiful. the expression on the face of Pinot and his directeur sportif was fantastic
Great stage!
A lot of effort from Cuddles at the end there, not much to show for it.
Here's to the TT tomorrow! Wiggo down the start ramp last, with the benefit of all the time checks ahead of him.
Wiggo did him for 1:43 the last time they raced a TT over a similar distance. Could be fun....!
Oh bloody hell, Rorschach has Pinot.. 🙄
When i'm facing down the barrel of bonk i'm going to get the image of that man in my head screaming at me, in any language...
"YOU ARE GOING TO WIN!" "YOU ARE GOING TO WIN!"
Really.

You think it was that polite?

I'm stealing that expression. 🙂
Pinot took my dream today and made it real. What a ride.
C'est bon.

Brilliant finish today, thats what the tours all about. well done lad
Really enjoyed what I saw and, blimey, the way they descend. 😯 Such exciting stuff!
Even fancy a pootle on my road bike now. 🙂
It was such a joyous win in the end today. Everyone looked hugely happy and the interview kept getting interrupted by team mates rushing up to go granulate Pinot. Stage wins don't get much better. The descending looked mad and when Kessiakoff lost it you realised how on the edge it was

I suspect we could book a coach...

Is that was they mean by 'grinding out' a win? 😀

OK, so it's tenuous, very tenuous, but still.....

Would they be shouting about brakes perchance? 😉
Pretty amazing at the minute. We've got a Brit in yellow, another challenging for the KOM (not you realman 🙂 ) and any other year cav going for green. Never thought I'd see that.
Peugeot made high quality peppermills. We still use one that's been in the family since I was a kid.
