Pizza? Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Hi I'm just wondering, who's following the Tour de France? and if so, who or what team do you support? And what you think of all the crashes? etc let me know bb Quote
icky?/ Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Yesss! I watch it everyday. Since I'm from belgium I support Omegha Pharma-Lotto. Philippe Gilbert Jelle Vanendert was close to victory yesterday and too bad Jurgen Vandenbrouck fell and had to leave, damn crashes, too many riders in the race and too bad Gesink fell man, otherwise he would be with the best for sure! Plus I just heard Lars Boom quit, too bad, I like him, been watching him since he did cyclocross. And poor Hoogerland, they should send that car driver to jail! (yes, I can go on for hours ) Quote
Gubbi Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 And poor Hoogerland, they should send that car driver to jail! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYPDAry-A-s I don't really follow the Tour de France but this is crazy.. Quote
Wifestein Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 I don't really follow the Tour de France but this is crazy.. oh wow D: Quote
icky?/ Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) 33 stitches was the result... Edited July 15, 2011 by icky?/ Quote
JayC Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 It was impressive that he managed to finish the race. Im just sad Vino couldnt finish this tour, <3 Vino! Contador was very bad yesterday, he doesnt look strong atm, Giro/crashes/clenbuterol-case, it's just too much for him. Schlecks, Evans, Basso? Dont know yet.. Btw, that was a impressive victory of Hushovd today! Quote
icky?/ Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Btw, that was a impressive victory of Hushovd today! Yeah, just too bad the French boo-ed him at the finish line, really unnecessary, the best man won. Quote
Pizza? Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Hi again! Very impressive what Hushovd did today, didn't think he would survive the Aubisque. I'm from Holland so I obviously support Gesink and Hoogerland. very unfortunate that they're not doing well now . Hoogerland is a hero in holland right now though. Yea it sucks that so many good riders had to give up. Vino, Vdbroeck, Wiggins, Brajkovic, Horner and Boonen ofc. And still Belgium has a lot of great riders left. The tour doesn't wait. Tomorrow there will be another very hard etappe. Let's see if Voeckler can still keep up with the best. Edited July 15, 2011 by Pizza? Quote
rolf Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 I usually am for the Dutch (obviously), but they aren't that good this year. And the Rabobank or Vacant Soleil isn't either... Anyway, that leaves anyone who isn't for mass sprints. I hate mass sprints, better watch the ones who take a challenge to climb a mountain alone. Today was a very interesting day Quote
classic Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 kinda lame that the france viewers boo'ed at Hushovd when he finished Quote
icky?/ Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Jelleke Jelleke, wa doede nu Jelle Vandendert won the mountain stage today!! The beer is on me Quote
JayC Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 He was awesome, he is really good this tour. Rofl, Voeckler still in yellow, he was doing very well today. Lets see how long he can keep up with the Schlecks, Evans, Basso and Contador. Quote
Pizza? Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 Amazing what Jelle Vanendert did today! This time Sanchez couldn't keep up! Did you guys notice that ''Go Go Jelle'' was written on the street when he attacked? Voeckler is incredible right now. If he keeps climbing like this he can win the tour. I think the schlecks let their teammates down today, they should've attacked imo. And another dutch rider laurens ten dam fell today. i hope he can recover Quote
icky?/ Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 And another dutch rider laurens ten dam fell today. i hope he can recover Yeah, me too, I never heard of him till I saw the Tour de Suisse/ Round of Switzerland this year, and I loved him immediatly I love the way he rides his bike uphill, it has something special, what a style!
