TDF Stage 12: Bourg-en-Bresse / St Etiennie *spoiler*

RideOnTime

just gettin the bits together
St Etiennie? band weren't they?

Must we start with a purely gratuitous picture of Mrs Gallopin. erm well yes (edit just realised there is no 'tit' in gratuitous)



St Etienne - I couldn't remember what they looked like!



Berties Broken Bike - which we now know (bollox) was the one that clashed within Belkin (no one saw it though did they!)



Stage Map

All round Lyon. Lyon is big isn't it!

Nice bike parked in front of it. Whoever rides that is one cool mofo. Probably rides it up to casinos in Monte Carlo, dressed to the nines, to put his race winnings on a number picked by one of the beautiful women that are immediately attracted to his presence. Moths to the candle they must be.

That's a lot of pictures of no stage profile...

Here you go:



Weirdly this stage is listed as 'flat' while today's was listed as hilly.

I'm terrified of making a quip about St Etienne because I always get Sarahs Cracknell and Nixey confused. This stage is giving me a heck of a Proustian soundtrack inside my head though.

`dale will control the breakaway to send Sagan up to the sprint point at 39k,whereupon they will all sit on the armco until persuaded by their DS`s to carry on.I feel it in my water.

I pretty sure St Etienne used to be the centre of the French bicycle industry. They pass very close by TIME tomorrow.

Weirdly, those mountain looking thingys are actually only 3% gradients.
So, I suppose they must qualify false flats as flat.

Degenkolb, to be joined by Greipel and Coquard, at least.

So I was bored and Google image searched "Lotto Bus" planning to put up a different image and say something like

That's not a lotto bus... this is a Lotto bus.

Well you will never guess what came up on the 2nd row of images????

Who ever does the profiles is having a joke.

Compare Stage 2 - high point Holme Moss 521m



with stage 4 - high point 159m

Saint Etienne, the reason we wear helmets.

I don't know its looks like a hologram thingy doesn't it


Just watching Stage 11 hi-lights while I have breakfast. Sean Yeates interview was a bit numb. Rather have a feature on the AC swapped bike conspiracy. Found some great pictures elsewhere on the net looks like Euro equivalent of FBI involved... what are they? CBI or summat no MIHigh I don't know I'll show them later.

That's because it is the Lotto bus in Harrogate, Yorkshire, Angleterre.

If you Google Lotto Bellisol girls you get a nice picture of Isabelle Beckers

This really is your one redeeming feature, and by this I mean Isabelle.
