Currahee! Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Excellent by Millar. Anyone notice the rider fall off into the barriers right at the start? Could have been a BMC rider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, noticed that as well, defo looked like a BMC rider. Tremendous from Millar, just finished reading his book today as well, he might need to tag another chapter on to the end of it now.

Naecups1902 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Any idea how he crashed? Seemed strange to happen alone and there. I thought at first he'd hit a car but that went to help him, they were talking about the roads being regravelled so the surface can be a bit loose and he's come flying off at a bend at speed Funny that Rolland came off yesterday and still won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't much of a fall yesterday although they got quite far ahead by the time he got going. He done well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, it was hardly a massive crash but as you say the guys got ahead and he's not the most accomplished descender in the peleton which makes his catch up even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Strange stage today. Nice and flat all the way then an evil wee bugger of a hill 20 odd Kms out from the finish. Tough to predict as Sky will be protecting Wiggins and not helping Cav. If he wants it he'll have to do it all on his own again. I also think tomorrow could be his last stage this year.

Remember when hearts turned up at hampden, we all knew it would take an absolute disaster for them to lose, and a miracle for the leith to win, well its a wee bit like that. Barring a major mechanical, injury or supreme breakaway ride from one of the guys "close",in the gc, then we have a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant to say accident/injury, remember there is another time trial so that should be some more time in the bag, but I truly believe there would need to be a catastrophe for him not to win it for us.

Sharky999 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Stage 14, ideal for a breakaway group to stay away with a 20km downhill after the last climb.
