Yoghurto 9 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Brilliant ride by Froome.Feel a bit bad for him, in tremendous form, could challenge for the win himself, but will most likely be limited to helping Wiggins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyjones 3,009 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 What a time by Wiggo. Fucking hell!! Given that there is an even longer TT to come, Evans and Nibali will need to find four or five minutes on Wiggins in the mountains or hire a hitman!Allez Wiggo.

AyeReadyStu 70 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Wiggins lead should make for an entertaining week in the mountains, the other GC contenders have no option but to attack, because they won't be able to take time off him in the time trial. Should hopefully be more exciting than watching Schleck and Contador stare at each other for three weeks like in the past few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioutsou will be a big loss for Sky though as he is a beast in mountain stages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting my money on for Sports Personality of the Year, even/especially with the Olympics coming up. There's Gold and Silver/Bronze wrapped up for the 44km TT.

AyeReadyStu 70 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 On another note I just had the random thought that Froome may be having thoughts about winning this himself, no one would expect an attack from him. Would be quite funny if he just went for it up in the high mountains Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingledtrout 7 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Froome will never be allowed to win it,unless brad collapses in the mountains,just look at last year's vuelta. A lot of big mountains to come,I think he will lose time over the next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans looks spent, but your man Nibali had, for him, a decent TT today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingledtrout 7 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yeah he did well,sadly whatever he makes in the mountains he will loose in the last time trial. Hopefully basso and szymt will give him some help though.its Bradley to lose.I agree that Evans looked spent though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
