TdF Stage 11 – A Tough One [Spoilers]

Are they not allowed to take their lids off for mountain top finishes anymore?

and the proper attacks start, good!

Are they not allowed to take their lids off for mountain top finishes anymore?

Nope. Stopped a couple of years ago.

Nibbles trying again!

What a boring race…. 😉

Its not the british thing – its sky and more brailsford and sutton providing future for competitive cycling in the uk at all levels. This is as much a testiment to them as it is to wiggo and the sky train .

He’s gone again. Taking water from a spectator, is that allowed? They aren’t allowed to take on drinks from their team car within the last 20km, so why can they take them from people on the side of the road?

Froome’s gone….!

Wiggo has to fire it up now.

Brads more british than the kenyan South african* 😉
I agree re Jingoism but we have never even podiumed in this, sit back and enjoy it however “boring” it may be

*Froome and still being sarccy

pedal bradley pedal

Froome’s back! Wooo!

Epic riding.

It being leftytrackworld I though a team bankrolled by Murdock would get short shrift.

Anyway, back to the racing 🙂

40% funded by Murdoch!?

cuddles has cracked

Looks like Cadel nodded off for a second there.

😀

Froome is playing a blinder today! Cuddles dropped…..

Loving froome today ! He giving it his all !

Bye bye cuddles

I predict nibali finishes in wiggos group

I am off out this is dull 😉

Excellent stage

I predict Wiggo and Froome taking twenty seconds from Nibbles.

Cuddles has totally blown by the looks of it. Great work from TJ nursing him back.

You’re not wrong, Junky. Dullsville…. 😉

It being leftytrackworld

don’ tend to see to many “of those” in the cycling threads 😉

but as you say, back to the racing – loved Nibbles giving “the look” then kicking again, Evans looks like his done his muck, and Bradley’s got to show his bottle good’n’proper….

…boring, no – enthralling 🙂

What a gap !!!!

Froome for second 🙂

Shleck going as well

will they just ride past him[Nibali] or sit up?

no sign of brad cracking or even looking like it- may have spoken too soon 😳

I want wiggins to ride past nibali!

glitchybump

Now it’s getting a bit exciting.

Bye bye Schleck!

Er….go Froomy?

Time for Froome and Wiggins to give nibbles a surprise by sneaking up on him.

Froome dog!

err, yeah. Looked like I picked the wrong day to announce my boredom 😀

Wiggins gone 😯

Froome attacking Wiggins?

Bloody hell – Froome’s dropped Wiggins !

Unbelievable scenes

Erm, Froomey, could you sit up and wait for Brad?

Qu’est-ce qu’il se passe?

It’s quite clever. Froome can attack and Nibbles will go with him, all these little digs will break Nibbles and Wiggo will just keep trawling on in his usual rhythm.

God this is so dull 😉

What a day this is and sky really are not faltering even with that cock up !

Froome will win this one day…as the commentators say th TJ and Froome look stronger than their leaders

pulled out a minute on Evans already.

nibbles into third.

Aye but they want to keep tht card for the Later days im sure hamerite 🙂

If Wiggins gets GC, Froome better get a shot at it next year.
