Tazio Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Today is dangerous for Wiggins and he needs to consolidate his lead. Wednesday is a long stage with one monster HC climb in it, I reckon Evans will see it as a chance to try and break Wiggins, though Sky have been doing well with Chris Froome on the climbs. Tragic that Sammy Sanchez is out as it is getting to his sort of territory in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharky999 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 In the dauphine, Wiggins took over a min out if Evans in a similar distance, this was quoted by ligget yesterday, however they said that a lot can change in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribble Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Amazing time by Cancellara. Impressive by Van Garderen as well. Yeah one to watch for the future I think! Also World Champion at TT Tony Martin who looked to have a decent time has now dropped out the top 3! Edit: Fecking hell Froome takes 26 seconds out of Cancellara's first checkpoint!

Tazio Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 What the hell is going on with Chris Froome? He's setting an amazing time so far. Looks like his performance in the Vuelta wasn't such a surprise.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribble Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Froome through the second checkpoint with the fastest time so far, by 20 seconds! Could be a cracking day for Team Sky! Wonder what the odds are on Froome to take a couple of the first stages in the mountains this week and gets close to Cadel and Wiggo? Edit: Scrpa that he can get close to Cadel today and Nibali is slow too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure, surely first priority is to give as much protection to Wiggo as possible I think we all said it would start to heat up over the weekend, absolutely no doubt about it Hard to believe we are hardly mentioning Cav!!

Sharky999 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Might be good for Cav to pull out now, no chance of the green jersey. Give himself time to recover and rest. If froome can get second then the pressure is all on the others and sky can watch while they all fight it out. Bring on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
