I think this break still has a chance..."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Nah, Columbia haven't even started chasing yet. Saxo are still riding tempo and the gap has already come down to 3 minutes. No chance.0
-
Break at 2.35 with 33k to go. No chance!You live and learn. At any rate, you live0

Scratch that... have they got off to wait? In the words of the pro cycling manager commentator "now they're riding! And the gap is melting away!""In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

What are the numbers in brackets after the town names on the TV graphics?0
-
The departement no. I should imagine, the french being an officious bunch, number their counties"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Personally I want Cancellara to go for a flyer!
In other news, earlier today we saw "big" Julian Dean switching bikes and he is no longer the Champion of NZ!You live and learn. At any rate, you live0 -

Ah, probably. Can't remember seeing that in previous Tours.0 -
New one one on me too. Good for the tourism aspect though.
I love this talk of the dread roundabout 1.2km from the end... we all know nowt will happen"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Yes, definitely, I checked am, when they started. Towns were 06= Alpe Maretimes

1 min with 20 k to go.
Think they might have started pulling them back early, there will probably be a few annoying (from the sprinters teams' point of view), if unsuccessful counter attacks.You live and learn. At any rate, you live0 -

How sad is it that I knew that? I'm such a geek0 -
Oof, Hutarovich must have had a nasty crash. Ruined his nice new and spangly Belarus champion's jersey.0
-
Highroad: lord knows how I knew it.
Skil getting some men at the front."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"
@gietvangent0 -
Van Hummel possible top 10. He's having a good year.0
-
Ignatiev. Must be annoyed at himself for missing the hopeless first-day breakaway.0
-
Some good natured joshing of Kelly there! Probably left him thinkong "I've earned that fockin' beer harmen.""In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Pozzato's red shorts are horrific :oops:
Worse than AG2R's! 0 -
This has 1st stage pile-up written all over it. 5 teams fighting for the front"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Yep... and there it is.0 -
LOOOOOOOOOOOONG sprint from Cav! Still wins though.0
-
Cav unopposed. Some immense crashes behind."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Get In !!!!!

Blimey, Yuki Arashiro in 5th! Cool.
Good start to the green jersey for Cav as well. No Boonen or Freire anywhere to be seen.0 -
looked like 3 - 4 bike length win.0
-
Yawn.
I admit Cavendish is the fastest but it does make the race rather boring. As long as he's near the front he'll win. I was hoping he'd do his usual and fluff the 1'st sprint stage but no...
Columbia obviously harbour absolutely no GC hopes with Freiburg Mick doing a turn on the front.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
EEEASY EEEASY EEEASY!!!
Did u see the slo-mo? He just kept pulling away...0 -
I think all the other sprinters teams got caught up in crash number 2. That's the benefit of controlling the front"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"
@gietvangent0 -
Good to see Nicholas Roche finish 8th - Tom Boneless nowhere in sight!Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom0
