Desert Nomad Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Evans pipped Contador on the line, but Hushovd holds on to the yellow. Nice wee bet on anybody but Evans to be in Yellow after the stage @9/2, well done the God of Thunder, Thor Hushovd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Oft, Nicki Sorensen was really lucky with that fall there, went down onto the grass and slid for a bit. Cervelo at the front, I would expect Thor to stay in the Maillot Jaune 75k to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Quick Step just blew up, Tom Boonen looks hurt, possible broken wrist and another rider looks hurt too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 There have been a hell of a lot of crashes today, including Sorensen being clipped by a motorbike. Boonen is the latest one to go down, which Cavendish might have a wee wry smile about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_S_A_R Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 cavendish wins the stage. tony martin went on a solo attempt rather than setting up the htc train and cavendish ended up following geriant thomas in. interesting. cav now on tv moaning that the finishes don't suit him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 On the plus side, Contador is now 1'30 down on Andy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interthenet jnr Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 This is shaping up nicely to be a great 3 weeks. Contador is going to have to attack at every chance and even then it might not be enough. I fancy one of the Schlecks to pull something out of the bag, evans is a serial bottle merchant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don`t think Evans will be able to respond when Contador makes the inevitable kick on Luz Ardiden, he may well take Yellow at Superbesse though. Not sure about Schlecks, Andy was well out of position yesterday, Franck seems in better form... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffcsam Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Any update on the lad who was carted off in an ambulance earlier following a nasty crash? I think he was Dutch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Brajkovic looked like a bad fall today. Hope he's ok. The stage itself was pretty exciting with all the crashes and the style of finish. With 3k to go I was praying for Voeckler to hold on. I like him for some reason. Always willing to have a go and never gives in until the pack catch him. The intermediate sprint turned into a bit of a farce with the amount of swinging across the road. The correct decision was made, no doubt. The race is shaping up very nicely. Really looking forward to the next 2 weeks racing. If I'm being honest, I don't reckon AC will win it now. He has had a disasterous first week. For me it's going to be one of the Schlecks. I can't see Evans ever winning it. However, if things go the way I reckon they will, who does Team Leopard Trek work for? Andy or Franck? If Franck is the man in form, does Andy work for him? Or do they stick with the team leader they entered the tour with? It'd be most interesting if both of them got in a break away with AC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interthenet jnr Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Be interesting to see how Wiggins fairs in the mountains since lossing all that weight. Wide open for anyone to have a go at the moment! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
