Yoghurto 9 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 It was. I've never watched it before apart from some highlights of the sprint finishes, pretty impressive. Do any of the riders who take part in this also do track cycling?Bradley Wiggins, favourite this year, has won multiple gold Olympic medals on the track.The eurosport guystalk about everything and anything lol!

Albertz123 598 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 So are we likely to see riders from this race at this years Olympics?

Casey, I never asked the question about refunding fans for Southampton or Le Harve, sorry mate, I totally forgot.Loads of them will be at the Olympics. Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome, Mark Cavendish and David Millar were confirmed yesterday to be in the GB team for the Road Race. The first two will also ride in the Time Trial a few days later.You had that bottle of Buckfast, didn't you!

caseyjones 3,009 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Back to Le Tour!Stage 5 - Sprint - Rouen~Saint Quentin196.5 km of flat, rolling roads which points once again to the madness of a first-week bunch finish, and no doubt some more casualties. Greipel will be hoping for the same result as yesterday and given the way his team took him towards the line it wouldn't be a surprise, but if Cav is feeling ok after his tumble, he'll want to make a point to his opponents. Cavendish to beat Greipel, with the usual suspects (Goss, Renshaw, Sagan) in close attendance.Enjoy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
