Tour de France 2012

[Misfit]

Hoy didn't even make it this time either!

the whole honours thing is a joke.

Redgrave wins 5 golds and a bronze in consecutive olympics, not to mention the 12 golds in various world/commonwealth championships. He finally got a Knighthood.

Kelly Holmes wins 2 Golds in the 2004 olympics, she's made a dame.

Wiggins 3 Olympic Golds, didly squat.

You feel sory for the breakaways the way the train catches them
3 km to go.
Cavo or Sagan ???

 

[Misfit]

Goddam! Cav was a bullet.

 

[Col_M]

OMG Cavendish was like a rocket there.

 

[Col_M]

that replay leaves you agahst at the turn of speed.

 

[Misfit]

Great last 3kms there. Sky worked that beautifully and Cav does what Cav does. The power is astonishing.

 

[Col_M]

Paris is looking tasty, Sagan 3rd? never even saw him!

 

[Shanks]

Well done Cav.

Great that he was given the go today.

who is that interviewer with the rough voice, she looks a stunner, but you never get to see her properly

 

[Col_M]

Eurosport presenter said " Great moment there for Mr Hollande, shaking the hand of Bradley Wiggins"

Not watching the Europsport coverage myself. Could it be Anna Sara Lange. Can't remember if she has a rough voice or not. Only other female Europsort presenter I can think of right now - not involved in tennis anyway - is Verena Wriedt. She usually does all the motorsport stuff though.

From the official site:

Wiggins home in 19th place
The yellow jersey was 19th over the line. He had two team-mates ahead of him - Cavendish and Boasson Hagen... and the Wiggins will wear the yellow jersey for the time trial tomorrow.

 

[Misfit]

Hahaha. The Wiggins.

 

[Col_M]

hmmm, could be her misfit, but I can only see her ear and haircut, and it's a slightly different cut. Voice sounds similar, but she is definitely hoarser on the TdF probably from lots of shouting at the finishing stage.

 

[llamafarmer]

Cav looked like the Missile again there, awesome sprinting!

 

[Spurs1960]

Super Cav, left them all for dead, brilliant. Olympics here we come.

 

[nightgoat]

Stunning finish from Cav.

I'm really looking forward to the two road cycling events in the Olympics, both routes go through my neck of the woods so I'll try and get a good spot along the road for both.

Blimey, coverage promoted to ITV1

Blimey, coverage promoted to ITV1

Shame it's only taken to stage 19 and 20 to get there. Should have all been on ITV1, it's not like they show anything decent during the day.
