Ribble Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Radge Welsh *******. All credit to him bit I'll be shocked if he finishes the tour. Apparently because the pain is from tissue damage surrounding the break rather than the actual break they think if he can get through the next 3-4 days then he should be able to complete the tour! But yes you are right he is a radge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 To be fair the pelvic break isn't a huge one. It wasn't picked up X Rays and only came to light when he had an MRA(?) scan. So it is more of a tiny crack that needed special scans to find it. Now Jorge Lorenzo doing the Moto GP 2 days after breaking his collarbone and having an operation to get a plate fitted is proper mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomstick Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Sagan's going to be tough to beat for green but he's not had a stage yet. I'm still confident Cav will take it. Long way to go yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Chimp Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Great stuff today, classic sprint finish. Delighted to see Cav get a stage win under his belt in what was a really exciting stage.

Currahee! Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Is it too early to call it Sagan's jersey? I'd say its his already. He's going for intermediate sprints + he's always there or thereabouts in a normal sprint finish. He can also get over the lumps without too much hassle. Can't see anyone taking it off him.

Homme Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'm off to see stage ten today. Going to the town of Dinan around 50k from the finish. Catagory 4 climb there so the action will be slower on what generally will be a quick stage. this in my 9th year in France and have never been lucky enough to see the tour so to say I'm buzzing will be an understatement.
