The Official 99th Tour de France thread, 2012.

If yesterday is anything to go by, they are just going to burn themselves up, leaving Nibs out numbered when it counts.

Just like the Giro then!

Did that castle just have a campsite in it, tops...

Did the peleton slow up like Wiggo did for Evans?...... I suspect not.

For Porte? It isn't really the same thing.

Not likely too either.
The Yellow jersey 'earns' that kind of respect.

Evans is the current champ slowed by something that what not of his doing.

Four off the front now.

Valverde, Martinez, Plaza and Iziguirre.

Porte will team doctor

Sorry no Plaza, or Valverde. Kadri is there.

 

[Pantani]

Go Iziguirre!!

You're just showing off now, what's that?

Just thought the little picture looked good, the fact I could combine it with some bigging up of my fantasy team is coincidental at best.

Go Iziguirre!!

This!

Another lovely looking village.

It's a shame the heli shots of Tour of Britain are of Scunthorpe, et al.

I must have picked the EUS 'sprinter' as he's the only one not featuring over these 2 days.


Why am I not surprised.

Izaguirre's wikipedia page claims he is a sprinter. Seems a bit unlikely looking at the last few days.

For those not on Eurosport, their commentators seem to think Wiggins looks a bit ill. Mainly because he is wearing a gilet, we will see, I suspect we will see they are talking nonsense as per usual.

Climb starts now, this is my last post until the end of today's stage, as I spend more time posting that watching if I sit by the computer.

I know that feeling, 'lucky' there are adverts

Score now: Voeckler 135, Kessiakoff 118

I make that 15 points but cycling news are saying he is only ten ahead.
