Tour de France *Spoilers*

Dangnabbit!! I missed a while chunk of the race there, Rast being caught?? Oh.... right.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Only the two of them now??

What happened??

 

[HF2300]

Vachon and Rast ran out of puff

 

[smutchin]

What happened??

The Col des Brosses, which they've just gone over, isn't particularly steep but it goes on for 15km, which is going to take its toll on a big unit like Gregory Rast, or a rider without much experience at this level like Florian Vachon.

Another Sherwin/Liggetism:

'He had a nasty crash in Marseille, his family were there to meet him as he came home, and they did. Unfortunately he was lying in the middle of the road at the time'

 

[HF2300]

Europcar attack, Odd?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Quemeneur and Gautier from Europcar off the front of the peleton.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Clarke striking out alone

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Langevelt caught.

 

[smutchin]

Great move by Gautier and Quemeneur. That's how to light up a stage, Tommy!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

20km to go, Clarke caught by the two Europcar riders, all 3 about 50 seconds ahead

 

[HF2300]

Sprint teams given up trying to stretch it out?

 

[HF2300]

Maybe not, Giant back again

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Just seen the De La Cruz crash...That looked a sore one

Exploding front tyre and he lost control, taking out Langeveld in the process.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Quemeneur caught
