Luckily there was a bit of a verge there. I had visions of him flying down the side of a steep drop!

Indeed! Lucky his team car was close by also.

Well he probably won't get the yellow, but he's in a strong position for white, esp with Gesink struggling.

I hope so!
I put £1 on him to win it at 400:1

Looks like hes doing well today. He's dropped everybody else on the tourmalet.

Damnation. I was really hoping for "Gee" to get to the top of the Tourmalet first.

Nice bet

Where did you get odds like that?

touch · 14 Jul 2011 at 15:44

Ahhh, not quite as good as i rmembered, it's only 300:1

On paddypower, i put the bet on months ago (during the giro i think).
Also have him at 125:1 for a top10 finish, £1 for each bet.

Woot, Sammy Sanchez. Like a phoenix from the flame.

ITV4 stream has gone down on me, and not in a good way

I get that feed before it even makes it to ITV, no dropping for me.

Watching it on EuroSport.

Russinating · 14 Jul 2011 at 16:27

Yeah it's just our rubbish office internet.

Makes me tired just watching all that.

I know how you feel. I sometimes wonder how they manage to survive on some of these climbs. So Voeckler still in yellow and Cav still in green. Voeckler might just hang on tomorrow.

I need to climb the Tourmalet.

I need to.

Russinating · 14 Jul 2011 at 17:19

Need != want. For very good reasons.

Today's 152.5 km stage 13, the second day of three in the Pyrenees:

We should see some changes in the leaderboard today:

looks downhill all the way after the mountain, so first to the top wins?

LOL, not if they do a Geraint Thomas and fly off the corner.

dunker · 15 Jul 2011 at 11:29

hehe ooooh can imagine the team manager shouting at him "stop grabbing the brake that hard!" prolly some other prob but just looked like that to me.
