Into the high Pyrenees (spoiler content added)simonc July 18th, 2012, 04:48 AM So, todays stage, the riders are taking on the Tourmalet! I think if Cadel has any hope, any glimmer at all he HAS to make a move over this stage....Same goes for anyone else with any hopes of snatching the GC lead...should be exciting, I hope... Bryan Johnson July 18th, 2012, 05:03 AM hope so,it's been pretty boring so far...... felis July 18th, 2012, 05:12 AM It's all about the scenery. :wink: simonc July 18th, 2012, 06:21 AM hope so,it's been pretty boring so far...... Yeah, tell me about it! Im still hanging onto the hope that its going to get exciting "any day now" lol. felis July 18th, 2012, 06:24 AM Full race broadcast on Sporza (Belgium TV ). At 37km after the depart: vultures taking off from the mountain top nest, gliding towards the valley. :cool: trev333 July 18th, 2012, 06:46 AM Cadel will have to throw out the tacks today... ooops.. I mean throw out an attack and try Wiggins on again today... if he's got anything left... poor bloke... I'll bet he wishes he was on a sunny beach fishing about now .. and never seen a bike before.. or a mountain in France.... simonc July 18th, 2012, 09:44 AM Jeepers this is boring! Where are the attacks?....seems everyones saving themselves for the Olympics? I just want SOMETHING to happen! simonc July 18th, 2012, 10:04 AM OK so evans was dropped on the penultimate climb, seems team liquigas is showing some intent.... Bryan Johnson July 18th, 2012, 11:55 AM mountain top finish tomorrow,so maybe someone'll give it a lash..... jkingma July 18th, 2012, 12:12 PM It's all about the scenery. :wink: That's how I feel this year. Our TV coverage here is crap this year. I'm only watching occasionally in case I see some place I'd like to visit some day. :mrgreen: Geoff738 July 18th, 2012, 03:45 PM That's how I feel this year. Our TV coverage here is crap this year. I'm only watching occasionally in case I see some place I'd like to visit some day. :mrgreen: Hey - it's better than last year when I only got to watch when I visited my folks for a few days. Most stages TSN is giving us 3 hours in prime time, which we didn't have last year. But it is infuriating when it's not on - and they're showing golf. And not a current tournament - just some highlight thingey. WTF? Live coverage may be worse this year. I'll agree that apart form the crashes, it hasn't been a very eventful Tour. A few good sprintsn - that's about it. We do have a new doping charge today though to liven things up. Cheers, Geoff Picton July 18th, 2012, 05:42 PM I'll be honest: I liked the stages in the Vosges and the Juras a lot more than the "big" mountain stages. It was nice to see some new hills, and the outcome wasn't a done deal yet. Sky hadn't yet decided to tack/nail it down. Cadel's gone this year; even he knows it. Go Tejay! Two worthy wins by the mercurial Voeckler, though, and not a heart-rate monitor in sight. Three cheers for the old school. Sasz July 18th, 2012, 06:44 PM As a Europcar fan, this was a very exciting stage! If I was primarily interested in the GC, on the other hand... simonc July 18th, 2012, 08:01 PM Voeckler is quickly becoming my new favourite rider, along with the likes of Jens Voigt...top effort! Picton July 18th, 2012, 10:50 PM Jens has always been one of my favorites, though I can't tell whether that's because I really like him or because the Sherwen-Liggett mafia has just bludgeoned me into acceptance over the years... simonc July 19th, 2012, 12:21 AM Jens has always been one of my favorites, though I can't tell whether that's because I really like him or because the Sherwen-Liggett mafia has just bludgeoned me into acceptance over the years... I just like his attitude, works hard and never has anything bad to say about any other riders. Always seems to be happy, even when he slaving his guts out for the team captain.
