The Official 99th Tour de France thread, 2012.

[Pantani]

3 for me

Oh yes, so teams for today? Mine is:

Wiggins, VdB, TJvG, Zubeldia, Pinot, Iziguirre, Urtasun, Simon, de Weert

 

[Pantani]

Zubeldia dropped, this is not going well so far.

 

[1066familyman]

Gwarn Pierre !

 

[1066familyman]

Bloody hell, Kessiakoff isn't giving up ! Great competition this KoM.

 

[Pantani]

All back together bar Rolland.

What a battle for KoM. Voeckler has it in the bag now, I think.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Great little battle for KOM points again, its going to be all settled today, chapeau to them both

 

[1066familyman]

Same team as yesterday for me. Hope Rolland doesn't get too compromised defending Tommy's polka dot. Was hoping he'd defend it for him whilst taking some GC time, not bury himself for it and lose GC at the end as a result.

 

[Pantani]

Don't fancy descending in that. You can't see more than 20 yards.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Wow descending in a pea souper, no thanks

 

[Indurain's Lungs]

Oh yes, so teams for today? Mine is:

Wiggins, VdB, TJvG, Zubeldia, Pinot, Iziguirre, Urtasun, Simon, de Weert

Cobo, Kessiakoff, Froome, Zubeldia, Impey, Simon, Iziguirre, Albasini, Pinot

 

[Pantani]

[1066familyman]

Here's mine again then:

Wiggins, Nibali, Rolland, Kessiakoff. Julien Simon, Sprick, Impey, Nicki Sorenson, Lund.

 

[Pantani]

Nibali in the break! This will get chased down.

 

[1066familyman]

Ooh, Nibali's jumped across a gap.

 

[Pantani]

Bad news for Zubeldia, the peleton is gonna have to give it some now.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

The breakaway will not be happy

 

[1066familyman]

This could be THE stage for excitement today.

 

[Indurain's Lungs]

Valverde is in a right piss with Nibali!!! I'm hoping they get caught and Cobo counter attacks.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Ha Ha Breakaway dump him back

 

[Indurain's Lungs]

Valverde is in a right piss with Nibali!!! I'm hoping they get caught and Cobo counter attacks.

Bugger.
