2008 Tour de France thread.........


Recommended Posts

22km - The peloton, meanwhile, is broken into bits with Gert Steegman's Quick Step team moving very much to the front of the peloton along with Columbia's George Hincapie. Cadel Evans, and Alejandro Valverder in the group, along with McEwen. Quick Step have really put in a huge injection in pace, as the gap goes down to 4'30. Stuart O'Grady and Oscar Freire are also in the small yellow jersey group, but Riccardo RICCO is in one of the riders who has been dropped into the chasing groups.

3km - kerem sefa asks: "what are the chances of feilllu retaining yellow jersey after the time trial tomorrow? if the gap is less than a minute to yellow jersey group?" My answer, not likely as some of the specialists like Millar and Cancellara were very well placed at the start of the day and should take more than enough time out of the Frenchman's hide to take the overall lead.

0km - AND DUMOULIN TAKES IT!! FEILLU can console himself with the yellow jersey after finishing third in the sprint though, and the American FRISCHKORN is second, boxing out the Frenchman!! LONGO BORGHINI is fourth, and we await the mass sprint for the placings..... What a day for France!!

16:43 - Along with the yellow jersey the GC lead goes to Feillu, 35 seconds from Longo, and a 1'42 from FRISCHKORN. Valverde is fourth at 1'45, in front of Kirchen, Freire, Pineau, Millar, Evans and Pozzato. You have to think that either Millar, Evans, Kirchen, Valverde, or even Cancellara (1'53) will be wearing the yellow jersey at the end of tomorrow's time trial with the gap at just 1'45.
