Tour de France 2012

[E.J.]

Wiggins pulls Boasson Hagen across the gap and leads out for him on the sprint finish.....cool to see yellow do that, even if he(EBH)didn't get the win.

Wiggins looks great. Relaxed on the last hill and stayed up front. Unless Nibali do something special, it looks like it Wiggins to lose.

WTF - "The competition director Jean-François Pescheux later claimed that there were tacks on the road and that's what caused the spate of punctures. Sabotage could have influenced general classification but cool heads prevailed and ultimately all the GC riders joined forced and rolled to the finish together well behind the stage winner."

Doesn't matter where you are, there are going to be asshats that want to cause havoc....



I have yet to watch todays stage, I went for a bike ride instead....

Read a bit about yesterday's stage, and saw that Wiggins urged the peleton not to blow Evans away, but to wait. Was good to see that.

It's Wiggins to lose right now. I would be concerned about Froome a little bit. If Nibali attacks, Froome will go after him and it will be Wiggins that will have to be able to keep up the attack.

Can anyone expect Froome to keep it slower on the decent if there's a gap?
