Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 As much as I like Thor, I'd love to see Tommy Voeckler in yellow for a couple of days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) I just saw the crash that the car caused. It genuinely made me angry. What the fuck was he doing, total cunt. Edited July 10, 2011 by Mr. Brightside 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I just saw the crash that the car caused. It genuinely made me angry. What the f**k was he doing, total c**t. It made absolutely no sense...he was never getting through the gap in a million years. He has endangered not jst the 2 that went down but everyone in the breakaway. Flecha took the hit from the car but it looked like Hoogeland was worst off, looked to be really struggling, hope he manages to make the start tomorrow. Again, surely the arsehole driving will be fired like the motorbike rider the other day? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoogerland and Flecha ended up finishing 16 minutes back - still 5 minutes ahead of Cavendish, Farrar and Rojas though. It's a rest day tomorrow, so hopefully Flecha and Hoogerland will have a wee bit of time to recover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Just saw the highlights on ITV4, nasty crash for Hoogerland. Gutting for him to finish so far back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chico Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Ouch. Bloody hell I know it's easy to knock pro cyclists over the drug/epo stuff but they must be some of the mentally and physically toughest sportsmen out there. The crashes and accidents so far in this years tour have been crazy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crashes and accidents so far in this years tour have been crazy. watched the cycling yesterday and watched the u17 wc 3rd placegame between brazil and germany,with the usual rolling about-it really shows how utterly pitiful footballers are nowadays,do they not have any shame for the arsesthey make of themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 BBC That TV car has been kicked off the Tour. That driver is a total fudd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) That hoogerland is a real hero. not only did he manage to finnish, but he was so forgiving when talking about them idiots in the car. And it was so sad when he was crying at the end. Hoogerland to win!!!! It's incredable the amount of people that have been put out due to crashes this year, and they all seem to be good condenters aswell for something or other. it kind of takes away from the tour a bit and It's all very odd.

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Not really a surprise. The guy who brought Sorensen down got fired and the one yesterday the driver was even more at fault. It's the minimum you'd expect. Out of interest, if he had say, broken one of their legs etc. would police then be called in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_S_A_R Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Poor weather conditions pish. Somehow Cancellera and the Schlecks hold sway within the peleton. They were straight to the front today after the crash. Had Schlecks been caught behind we would never here the end of it had say BMC hammered on the front. I'm getting a little sick of this goody goody attitude they portray. did cancellara pull a gun out and threaten to shoot anyone that tried to put some pace on? and it was oil on the road, not the weather. the reason they did what he said was because you need friends in the peloton, piss the wrong people off and you'll never get in a breakaway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve McQueen Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Ouch. I think he's lucky he didn't go into one of those posts, could have been seriously injured. Barbed wire looks like the better option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumours abound that Contador is really feeling his right knee & a possible abandonment might not be far off, I think we`ll know as soon as the race heads uphill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddie06smfc Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Missed the first week of the tour but caught the highlight program earlier. The motorbike driver and the car driver are both idiots especially the car driver. As is the spectator to busy checking out the front of the peloton and standing far too close to the road side. I've seen a couple of the tours and never felt the need to stand near the road or ran along side shouting go. Felt sorry for Wiggins although I didn't think he could go all the way and win the Yellow jersey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnash Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Whatever Contador has done, he shouldn't be getting shoved off his bike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
