Tour de France *Spoilers*

[Pro Tour Punditry]

It was commented on in the tour coverage. I think, if I remember right, Voeckler felt the spectators were too close to him or in the way.

That could have just been made up by the commentators, they seem to make stuff up all the time that has no bearing on reality.

I thought she was on the phone*. Nibs took the corner very tight as well, not that either are excuses for spectators not paying attention.

*actually, that may just show how old fashioned I am...

Marmion, how could you say such a thing of Liggett and Sherwen. Go and wash your mouth out at once.

I couldn't hear what was said to him but I think part of TV's French was ''Tu as fait du vélo?'' - "Have you ridden a bike?''

to which they replied 'yes, but not as well as Michael Rogers'

Cav in the team car...

A career as a DS beckons.

 

[jarlrmai]

I heard he was getting booed?

 

[Hont]

So overall encouraging but definitely not beyond suspicion...

What I said, only less pithy and with a bit more credibility (go to the 2014 section)...

I thought he said "Auriez vous une carte de France?" or possibly "Je suis allergique à l'ail".

However, my perception may be coloured by what I can remember from my teach yourself French tapes.

Yes they even say it at the end if the video!!

'I think they were a bit close'

'Oh right'.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Slagter (Garmin Sharp), Gautier (Europcar), Taaramae (Cofedis), Elmiger (IAM) and Gerrard (Bretagne Seche) 3,30 ahead.

That is all

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Much as I like that Australian guy doing the commentary (Who is he again?), I hate the way he says Cofedis, he always says it like Co - Fetus.

 

[Roscoe]

Probably the last chance for a stage win and Sky have nobody in the break. I thought Thomas might have gone for it.

Maybe they're planning a late attack over the last hill.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Seem to be having broadcasting issues at the moment

 

[fimm]

Oh yes, what has happened to Sky? There's been someone in the break, but G and Porte haven't appeared in the highlights for days... are they taking things easier for the Vuelta or something? Is it just not worth putting in the massive effort when there's nothing to win?

 

[Roscoe]

Tinkoff-Saxo don't seem to think it's not worth it. Lost Contador, no plan B apparently yet have won 4 Stages and KOM.
