Date: July 1st, 2012 10:53 PM Author: at-the-ready brass hissy fit reading party Fabian Cancellara was all man on the first 2 days. Wiggins looks to be in top form as well.
Can't wait until we get to the Alps. |
Date: July 2nd, 2012 7:46 PM Author: at-the-ready brass hissy fit reading party Mark Cavendish with the sprinters win on Stage 2. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21004803) |
|
Date: July 2nd, 2012 8:15 PM Author: Sapphire Property Knife This tour is shaping up to be pretty ho-hum.
Wiggens isn't going to be a real threat to Cadel Evans and with Andy Schleck out there will be very little drama in for the GC
In the sprinting competition the only real drama will be whether Cavendish bails after the first week to get ready for the Olympics
The Tour badly needs another doping scandal to bring a little interest back, but with el pistolero serving the first of a 2 year ban for doping, none is likely to occur
At least the podium girls are prettier this year and the color commentator isnt a giant douchebag or some dope who doesn't know shit about cycling. Also I'm glad they dropped that little bitch andreu |

Date: July 2nd, 2012 8:16 PM Author: at-the-ready brass hissy fit reading party I think TJ could make the podium and that new Dago could win the whole thing. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21004989) |

|
Date: July 2nd, 2012 8:34 PM Author: Sapphire Property Knife I was watching it on TV and it was pretty much the biggest divk move ever.
When Jan Ullrich went off the road Lance Armstrong fucking nearly stopped the tour to wait for him...that was classy and the right thing to do |

|
Date: July 2nd, 2012 8:36 PM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university He probably would have won anyway. Shleck cant TT for shit and Contador is one of the best at it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21005166) |
|
Date: July 2nd, 2012 8:45 PM Author: Sapphire Property Knife Odd that He took hat stage by exactly 39 seconds, which was the margin of his victory...
Schleck definitely could have won, regardless, it was a dick move and shows what a dickless wonder el pistolero is |
|
Date: July 2nd, 2012 8:25 PM Author: Sapphire Property Knife Well it's going to be hard for him to win by going clean (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21005078) |

|
Date: July 2nd, 2012 8:42 PM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university Why do you think Wiggins isn't a threat to Evans? He's a better TT'er (this year) but a worse climber. 100k of TT in this tour has to favor Wiggins, I think. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21005193) |
|
Date: July 2nd, 2012 9:45 PM Author: Sapphire Property Knife Evans isn't the most explosive climber on the tour, but he's a fucking locomotive that will just keep going and going and never fucking cracks...I just don't think Woggins has the stuff to crack Evans (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21005568) |

Date: July 2nd, 2012 8:28 PM Author: Sapphire Property Knife My big hope this year is that Tyler Farrah gets absolutely blanked and minimal screen time, but I hate that broheim talk (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21005101) |

|
Date: July 3rd, 2012 8:59 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university Today's stage sets up nicely for doods like Evans, Cancellara and Gilbert. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21007693) |
|
Date: July 3rd, 2012 9:46 AM Author: Sapphire Property Knife Evans isn't going to do crap today other than finish with same time as Wiggans. Cancellara will definitely defend, maybe even try a second or two (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21007784) |
|
Date: July 3rd, 2012 10:03 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university It's got an uphill finish at 7.4% grade. Evans won a similar stage last year at Mur de Bretagne but that was a more difficult finish. This one might favor punchy riders like Cancellara more than GC guys like Evans. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21007829) |
|
Date: July 3rd, 2012 10:27 AM Author: Sapphire Property Knife I've never fucking seen Evans go on an attack like that and don't expect that he'll do so today. Theres no point, he wont be aboe to out any time on Schkeck or Wiggins. Cancellara on the other hand has freedom to attack from the GC contenders so he could get away with a few seconds (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21007975) |
|
Date: July 3rd, 2012 10:54 AM Author: Sapphire Property Knife Another good day for the tour with Tyler Farrah in a wreck (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21008080) |
|
Date: July 3rd, 2012 11:41 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university Missed the end of the stage b/c of meeting. I understand there was a big crash toward the end? Was the 3km rule in effect?
I also see that Cadel got 6th place. Don't discount his ability to attack on hilly stages, as he did in the 2009 worlds when he soloed to victory from about 3k out. |
|
Date: July 3rd, 2012 11:46 AM Author: Sapphire Property Knife 3K rule in effect
Evans would never have attacked in that situation and there would have been no point to either. His main rivals would have just marked him and no lost any time. Unless there's a split in the field and a cheap shot there's not gains to be made |
|
Date: July 5th, 2012 11:27 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university Farrar crashed again. Unfortunately, so did Sagan. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21020263) |

|
Date: July 5th, 2012 11:48 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university Sagan actually had a commanding lead for the green jersey before today. He's such an unreal talent. Only 22 years old. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21020357) |
|
Date: July 5th, 2012 11:49 AM Author: Sapphire Property Knife Well, it's hard to have a commanding lead in the first week...but he's a talented dood...expect good things from him (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21020365) |
|
Date: July 5th, 2012 11:54 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university Well, he's winning stages with uphill finishes that are normally won by doods like Vino or Gilbert, where typical sprinters like Cav and Greipel are spit out the back before the finish. But he is also staying top 5 or so in flat sprint stages. Sagain is picking up points left and right. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21020405) |

|
Date: July 5th, 2012 11:50 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university I don't know why they declared it a photo finish. It was pretty clear on video on that Greipel had won. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21020370) |

|
Date: July 7th, 2012 9:45 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university Today's stage should be a good one bros. We'll finally see who's got the form to contend for the yellow jersey. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21033511) |
|
Date: July 7th, 2012 11:24 AM Author: at-the-ready brass hissy fit reading party What a great finish. Wiggins' team Sky is looking crazy strong. Cadel looks like he will get little support, but is a better rider than Wiggins.
Wiggins takes the yellow jersey. |
|
Date: July 7th, 2012 11:39 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university Yeah, Sky is basically the black train. How about Chris Froome? He looks to be a bigger natural talent than Wiggins, especially in the mountains. He could have and should have won the Vuelta last year, had he not been required to support Wiggins the first couple of weeks. It's too bad Froome lost time in a crash earlier this week b/c he could be sitting in 2nd place right now instead of 9th place. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21033989) |
|
Date: July 8th, 2012 11:53 AM Author: at-the-ready brass hissy fit reading party WOW. Great stage. The breakaway French rider succeeded and won the stage by about 30 seconds. Amazing escape. I felt little bad for the Swede that he swallowed up on the last climb, but a fantastic finish nonetheless. Wiggins looked strong, but Cadel looks really fresh. I think Cadel puts him away in the Pyrenees. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21040391) |

|
Date: July 9th, 2012 10:49 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university Chris Froome having a monster day. 23 secs at the first time check.
Cadel Evans is blowing it big time. He's going to end the day 2 mins down on Wiggins at this point, maybe more. |
|
Date: July 9th, 2012 2:12 PM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university There's rampant speculation now that Team Sky is doped up. Wiggins and Froome were unreal today, going 1-2 and beating Cadel by 1:43 and 1:08 respectively. They also both beat Cancellara, a 4 time world champion on the time trial by 0:57 and 0:35 respectively.
In unrelated news, Tyler Farrar is in second to last place in the GC. It would be very lulzy if he ended up as the lanterne rouge. |
|
Date: July 10th, 2012 8:46 AM Author: Sapphire Property Knife TF winning zero stages and being the lantern rouge would make this the greatest tour in modern history (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21053208) |
|
Date: July 10th, 2012 9:03 AM Author: Sapphire Property Knife Jerseys already decided this year: yellow, green, white
Looks like the rest of the week is a competition for the polka dot jersey |
|
Date: July 10th, 2012 9:07 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university It would be very interesting to see what Sky does if Cadel or Nibali attacks Wiggins in the mountains. Wiggins doesn't have the uphill acceleration of those guys but I think Froome does. Would Sky make Froome wait for Wiggins or would they let him go? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21053262) |
|
Date: July 10th, 2012 9:10 AM Author: Sapphire Property Knife Evans won't attack because he's a giant pussy...but let's say his team doctor gives him a shot of something manly and he decides to try to earn his jersey, if Wiggins can't hang, and that's a big if, but if he can't yu have to send Froome (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21053268) |
|
Date: July 10th, 2012 9:22 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university Do you think the Sky guys are on something? Froome looks "extraterrestrial" right now. Apparently Wiggins told him to slow down the pace as they were going up Planche des Belles Filles on Stage 7. I was stunned that Froome beat Fabian Cancellara yesterday on a stage that according to Chris Horner favored TT specialists.

Odds that this bitch bails before Paris are near 100% |
|
Date: July 10th, 2012 1:03 PM Author: Sapphire Property Knife I would institute two new rules into the TdF to make it better:
Eliminate the slowest rider every stage after the prologue. Reintroduce small time bonuses.
There needs to be more incentives to get people racing and less of this crap with staying with the Peloton all tour long. |
|
Date: July 10th, 2012 1:38 PM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university These rules would create so much carnage on the road that 75% of the contenders would crash out every year. It's already bad enough this year with the likes of Hesjedal and Sanchez crashing out and F. Schleck losing major time in a crash.

|
Date: July 11th, 2012 1:17 PM Author: Sapphire Property Knife Gotta love the pure grit of Tommy Voeckler. Nice to see him in an opportunists Jersey. I think polka dot is perfect for Voekler and would like to see him wear it for a but.
GC continues to be most uneventful and uninteresting in years- probably going back to the Indurin ere for something this boring |
|
Date: July 11th, 2012 1:35 PM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university Voeckler is awesome man. I love his tortured style of riding where he's rocking his body like crazy to find that extra bit of strength.
The GC this year is boring but it should be a lot more exciting next year when Contador and baby Schleck come back. I can't imagine Froome will want to keep playing second fiddle to Wiggins on Team Sky when he's clearly the superior talent. He has to be thinking of leaving. |
|
Date: July 11th, 2012 3:45 PM Author: Sapphire Property Knife I love how he'll attack, attack, attack and keep fuckimg attacking until he's cooked. Most of the time he blows up and fucking loses twenty minutes...but sometimes he blows the field fucking apart...it's entertaining as hell and truly heroic when he succeeds...he's not afraid to look like a total fool for those occasional shots at glory...hope he keeps racing for a while. Nice to see Jens In the mix too (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21062876) |
|
Date: July 11th, 2012 1:32 PM Author: Sapphire Property Knife Cadel Evans wins or loses the tour tomorrow. He's a big fat pussy so he'll lose. But if he wants to defend his Jersey then he'll need to attack tomorrow (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21062294) |
|
Date: July 11th, 2012 1:36 PM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university he will attack over the last 400 meters and take 2 secs on Wiggins.
on a serious note, cadel needs to go with nibali tomorrow. they need to team up if they are to have a chance at the GC. |

He clearly wants to ride for the win despite team orders. |

Date: July 12th, 2012 8:37 PM Author: at-the-ready brass hissy fit reading party It's a shame for Froome because I think he could win this year. There is only on TT left and Wiggins would only gain about a minute on him there. Froome looks like he could easily gain 4 minutes on Wiggins on the mountain stages that are left.

Date: July 12th, 2012 11:26 PM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university This tour is basically over. Pity. Maybe Nibali can get a minute on Wiggins on Stage 16 on the descent finish but he'll lose at least that much on the final TT.

Date: July 13th, 2012 8:23 AM Author: Sapphire Property Knife The crazy thing about the tour this year is that the race leaders are not the strongest riders on their teams. Froome looks like he could drop Wiggins at will. And TVG is clearly strongeer and a more interesting rider than that big fat pussy Evans.
Too bad they each have shackles and task masters...would love for Froome to get pissed off and grab this thing for himself. He won't, but it'd be legendary |

Date: July 13th, 2012 9:24 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university Shades of Riis and Ullrich in 1996 and 1997. Actually Riis said today that he thinks Froome will win this tour, that Wiggins won't be strong in the third week. I just really hate that Wiggins is a one-speed climber who NEVER attacks. Froome is more exciting to me. I hope he can come to tour in top shape next year and duke it out with Contador in the mountains. That would be a great show for the fans.
TJVG had a great day yesterday whereas Cadel had a horrible one. But don't forget that TJVG is largely unproven as a climber. I'm hoping Cadel can do something in the final week. His ability to recover deep into a grand tour is legendary. Unfortunately this year's course is complete dogshit and doesn't provide opportunities to open up gaps. |

Date: July 13th, 2012 9:27 AM Author: Sapphire Property Knife I would love for this to turn into a hatefuck grudge match between teammates like between Hinault and Lemond (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21076236) |

Date: July 13th, 2012 9:33 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university BTW, it kind of annoys me that Froome rides under the British flag. Wish he would rep Kenya instead. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21076251) |

Date: July 17th, 2012 9:00 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university he should have attacked from 2k out but it looked he had no energy left. shame b/c i always liked vande velde.
This tour has been a complete snoozefest. I hope someone can attack in the Pyrenees and inject some excitement into this race. The next stage sets up nicely for Nibali to attack on the final climb and maybe open up a bigger gap on the descent finish. |

Date: July 18th, 2012 8:51 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university LOL Frank Schleck. Just LOL. Cycling is a complete fraud of a sport in some ways. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21113917) |

Date: July 18th, 2012 10:28 AM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university Evans popped. Voeckler may solo to stage victory, taking the mountains jersey in the process. That would be great. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21114138) |

Date: July 18th, 2012 9:44 PM Author: at-the-ready brass hissy fit reading party Watching the prime time feed. DON'T SPOIL.. Evans just CRACKED. It's over. Hoping TeeJay can stary with Wiggins and the dago. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984450&forum_id=2#21119053) |

Date: July 19th, 2012 9:20 PM Author: at-the-ready brass hissy fit reading party I can't believe no attacks worked. Fucking Wiggins was the man.
TeeJay should hold his top 5 spot though. Bodes well since he is a good climber and time trialer. |

Date: July 19th, 2012 10:35 PM Author: Burgundy sex offender sound barrier Froome got jobbed. He should have won this Tour. At least 3 mountain stages he had to wait for Wiggins. Today he easily could have won and gained about a minute on Wiggins. His team made him wait for Wiggins and it cost him this stage win.

Date: July 20th, 2012 6:37 PM Author: flickering beady-eyed affirmative action university yeah, very likely. we'll find out for sure tomorrow whether Froome could have won. he humiliated wiggins yesterday on the Peyragudes.
this Tour has been ridiculously boring. i hope froome can go to the vuelta in good form. i'd love to see a duel between him and contador. |
