Semi-live comments while watching Stage 12
I wonder who the Brit chap is (Matthew Cain?) that does Versus online coverage before Phil and Paul take over for the actual broadcast. He does an alright job. Particularly since he is working alone.
---------------
David Moncoutie announced that he was going for the Polka Dot jersey this year. He has been mostly anonymous and needs to get to work. The only time I have seen him was on the Tourmalet and that was only something like 7th place over the summit.
---------------
The final climb today hits 20% at one point???? I haven't read that anywhere before.
---------------
HUGE roundabout with about 85km to go
---------------
Ag2r is not shirking their duties as leaders of the race. Good to see.
---------------
Djamalodine Abdoujaparov gets a mention!
--------------
Nice bunnyhop over some road furniture by Nicki Sorensen... or was it Fothen?
--------------
Ha, the race doctor car darn near wrecked its patient, Jerome Pineau
--------------
Popo is carrying approximately 92 water bottles in his jersey.
--------------
Paul just described Agritubel as "the great Agritubel squad" Can you say hyperbole?
--------------
The Livestrong Chalkbot is a clever idea but the messages they print are completely unreadable. The writing is far too small.
--------------
47 km with approximately 4:00 lead. Time for the peloton to start whittling into the lead.
--------------
Vaughters said Wiggins does 570 watts for 4 minutes on the track? Good lord.
--------------
The short, steep Cote de Bourmont looked a little tough but these guys make things look pretty easy. Here comes the peloton.
--------------
Someone, please shoot Antler Guy.
--------------
No problems getting over the climb. Looks like a bunch sprint if the seven breakaways can be reeled back in.
--------------
Has Bjarne Riis lost some weight.
--------------
The breakaway may survive. No urgency in the pack. Maybe they are saving themselves for tomorrow's hilly stage.
--------------
Kudos to Sorensen and Calzati for showing some balls and attacking the breakaway group while still far from the finish.
--------------
Finally some action. The two breakaways are showing some grit and the chasers are really having to fight
--------------
Sorensen goes and blows Calzati away. Can he hold off 6 chasers alone, for 5km?
--------------
Down to five chasers. Pauriol gone.
--------------
From 7 seconds up to over 20 second gap. Impressive.
--------------
Over 30 seconds! I think he did it.
--------------
2km and Sorensen looks strong.
--------------
A deserving win for Sorensen. Classy win.
--------------
He is a happy man.
