Chester™ Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Anyone else having a watch? Me and Mrs Chester just flicked over and as we did, some spectator decided to have a wee run next to the pack. Said spectator was getting a bit close and took a slap to the chops from one of guys in the pack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Lambretta Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Wait till we get up the mountains you will see some real plums wearing rediculous outfits. There was a guy at the Giro wearing a bright green thong type outfit that went up over his shoulders. Not for the faint hearted Anyone else having a watch?

Tazio Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Passed zoo on right, possibly steepest road in Edinburgh, 800 metres at about a 10 gradient Just wait until the real mountains appear. A category 1 climb is tough, an HC climb is a killer. 800m at 10% is a breeze, try things like Mont Ventoux with 22.7km with an average gradient of 7.1, or Alpe d'Huez with 13km at around 7.9%. The bit that terrifies me is that on a lot of them you have to go back down the other side if there isn't a summit finish, so utterly knackered, shaky as hell then a 70kph descent. And Tourmalet is always fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharky999 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Stage 8, as someone put it "up and Doon like a whoors drawers" Difficult to predict this one but maybe maybe one of the Astana boys, such a short run in from the summit, however if the breakaway is still away by the start of the col du Croix I think they will stay away.

Tazio Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm glad Wiggins is in the lead purely because it will make it more entertaining. Evans knows that Wiggins has the beating of him in time trial stages so he will now have to consciously go out to kill him in the mountains.

AWM Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Wiggins, asked about those who accuse him of doping: "I say they're just ******* wankers. I cannot be doing with people like that. It justifies their own bone-idleness because they can't ever imagine applying themselves to do anything in their lives. It's easy for them to sit under a pseudonym on Twitter and write that sort of shit, rather than get off their arses in their own lives and apply themselves and work hard at something and achieve something. And that's ultimately it. ****s." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
