No hoper Wiggins in the break.

Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    He's a TT specialist so either he'll solo away for the win or he'll be dropped on a hill, right?

    One Cat 2 climb and a Cat 1 still to go.

    Columbia chasing apparently.

    Just to get one over on Sky, no doubt.

    I wonder if Wiggo realises he's in a break with a Puertoista.

    Their lead is plummeting - down to 2.48.

    Looks like Wiggo will have to display some of that TT prowess if he wants this stage! Can't see it happening though...always thought of him more as a sprinter :wink:

    When I read "Kilómetro 82: Vicioso, Wiggins y Feillu están a punto de coronar el alto de Colmenar (3ª)." I took it that the three breakaways were after having a heart attack at the height of the Colmenar..

    :lol: LangerDan

    Long way to go still but the gaps under two minutes. It'll take a real specialist TT effort to stay away now.

    Could this be a stage race where Cavendish fails to win a stage? From memory I think he won stages in every single stage race he rode, except one, during 2009. Columbia-HTC are chasing the break so we'll see what happens...

    If you guys need some help with the translation fire at will.

    It seems that some here need it!!! :lol:

    Only reason Wiggo is on a break today is because he didn't try hard enough yesterday. Too much energy left over.
  • inkyfingersinkyfingers Posts: 4,400
    He has attacked to prove that he's a real champion!


    ....Multiple world and olympic titles and 4th in the tour clearly aren't enough ;-)

    Wiggins is also a good barroudeur when he wants to be. Hope he holds out. Going to be difficult when you have one of the best domestiques in the peloton working for a sprinter who hasn't added anything to his 2010 palmares.

    so wiggins feillu and vicious person now on own with a smaller peleton behind by a minute or so? is that right? if Cav hasnt made it over the cat 1 in the group colombia will stop the fast chase?, nearest one is vicious person 2 mins behind rogers in gc
  • KléberKléber Posts: 6,842
    I don't think Cav is in the peloton, there are reportedly on 25 riders. So Columbia are working for Mick Rogers and his defence of the GC.

    Maybe they'll let them keep a minute, unless HTC think they can win it with someone else.

    The break has been swept up forming a lead group of 33 riders including vicious person, coloured person and windy
  • greeny12greeny12 Posts: 759
    Maybe Wiggo reads these forums?

    We'll soon know if he wins and dedicates the result "to everyone who doubts me, especially Frenchfighter"

    :wink:

    Frank Windy was in the break a few days ago, too. My money's on him to breeze to victory.

    Maybe that was a Sky Plus thing? ...Dave Brailsford had paused the sprint to look for marginal gains

    Ah, but have you peaked too soon, before the big classics turn up!
