Think its only Oscar Freire there - could be wrong though.0
-
The Le Tour website states that Cav is in the group.... in fact there is no gruppeto... all back together behind with the exception of Kern and Hushovd who are behind**************************************************

Who says Cav will never win a mountains stage?

That group doesn't look 168 riders big to me.0
-
Just saw Menchov passing round water bottles. Denis Menchov as Freire's domestique in a mountain stage

I'll go for Oscar.......... at this late stage........ of the stage :oops:0

They just indicate the most significant riders of a group like the grupetto. That is, the polka and green jersey wearers.... The bus will have a lot more passengers stillemadden wrote:The Le Tour website states that Cav is in the group.... in fact there is no gruppeto... all back together behind with the exception of Kern and Hushovd who are behind0 -
I've just been a little bit sick after that rant from Phil & Paul :x0

he's not there, and Carlton needs to shut up about it. He was doing so well bless him until he started all that Cav rubbish...0

no way thats 168 riders. closer to 110 if you asked me.0
-
Still a big gap though - 2:29 ? - plenty of work still to do - maybe Pelizotti gets this one.0

What did they say?
A little rant about how the French anti-doping people were targeting Lance and it was distinctly unfair. Claimed it was spoiling the race etc etc, and Paul was amazed he'd been tested three times in 48hrs.
Apparently they've lost a lot of support because they keep testing him :roll:0 -
Yes, but so is Van Hummel for instance.emadden wrote:FJS wrote:

1. It just isn't 168 riders there, much smaller group; 2.Tour tickers have always named only most significant riders of a group; 3.the whole peloton together with only Hushovd and Kern dropped is pretty improbable; 4. rabobank and Caisse wouldn't be working this hard if Cav was there, 5.etc., 6.etc. :arrow: the ticker is incorrect0 -

And I dare say all Phil & Paul are doing are quoting from LA's twitter.0 -
u can see on the TV that he's not...0

No Cavendish. Freire and Rojas only.0

Meh. Not surprising. They are his chief cheerleaders, and it'll play well with the Versus audience.
Maybe if the other riders twittered each time they got tested, instead of just getting on with it and accepting it as part of the job...0 -
Funny thing is LA states on twitter he's had 40 doping controls etc...
"Knock knock. Another antidoping control. Seems excessive but I'm not complaining. This is a good thing. I like good things times 40."
So if LA isn't complaining, Paul & Phil should drop it. It obviously isn't an issue,0 -
What were the liquigas lot just saying to the guys driving the peloton? Lot of gesticulating going on.0
-
Now the bunch looks even smaller from the helicopter shot. 50-60 riders max.0
-
Cav is there; he's hiding in Fredrigo's right nostril.
He should win by a nose.0 -
BTW, Cavendish is going to have to pull out some amazing work on the next two stages if he wants the green jersey.0
