I was surprised how everyone basically knew what would happen before today. Still 100% better than what we have seen in the past 5-8 years. Tour de France :bow: I have LOVED it this year. Wish there was a 4th podium for Voeckler.

Well done to Cavendish. Awesome stuff. :scarf:
Voeckler really rode his heart out. . . . Couldnt stop thinking how much he looks like Robin Williams when riding with his helmet on lol
Cav the man Miller was saying that in Europe Cav would be like Beckham, minus the tiger wife!
lookinf forward to next year, Cav to move closer to all time stage winner snd Wiggins to give it a go!
right guys same time same place ta ra!
Timr to get back in the saddle for a tour around France
Time trial was yesterday, some pub teamer from Australia in the yellow.
Watching the first road stage, 25 kms left and break away is 2 mins in front
Had our first crash. . .not sure who are the main guys but sure Evans, Joubert, Schlek will be there or thereabouts
Looking for plenty of Cavendish moments, Wiggens too - Team Sky
Can anyone change the name of this thread to 2012?
Le Tour starts on 30th June but I will indeed change the thread title!
Sorry Maccy I am indeed mistaken. . .thete is some pre tour race going on at the moment Tour de Dauphine of something French sounding
Wiggins is out on the road now for his prologue time.
Wiggins leads! :bow:
Cancellara on the road now.
And the last man out, Cadel Evans.
Cancellara beats Wiggins by seven seconds!
ITV have lost the picture just as Evans is coming to the end. :haha:
Evans was way back, I think. Anyway, Cancellara wins!
Wiggins second. :bow: Chavanel third.
Here we go!
one day late :-(
But well done Bradley yesterday, first stage 105 kms from finish Cancellara at front of peloton, break away 2:50 ahead. . .Sky jerseys visible
Sprint finish to come, first look of Cavendish

Tony Martin is having a mare. :lol:
Sagan won! Wasn't really a proper sprint stage. Cancellara came second. :wacko:
Cav wins again! His 21st win. :bow:
Cav watch = 1
Insane crash, again! Think that has been the third one today.
The roads towards the end of this stage are incredibly tight.
A crash right at the end! One of the riders just went the wrong way! :haha:
Sagan wins another stage! Bradley Wiggins was involved in that crash I think, will get the same time though.
Sagan wins - is ge to be considered a contender? Early doors yet but papers writing thst the kid has promise
Couple of biggish crashes towards the end. . .last year thete plenty
Didnt catch if Wiggins time will be affected
:lol: I said in the post above he'd get the same time.
And yes I don't know if Sagan will perservere through it now, he'll need to man up considerably I think.
Sprint finish should be imminent. :popcorn:
Horrible crash. :sick:
Sagan involved again. Cav is out of the sprint, somehow Sagan is back in the group.
Greipel takes it. :bow:
His 15th win of the year. Cav's jersey, shorts and helmet were all ripped to shreds.
Another massive crash coming in the under 3km mark. WTF is going on?
Greipel wins again! That sprint only just caught up with the breakaway riders, about 100m to go I think.
Another massive crash. So many people are checking their injuries. Looks more like spectators are gathered on the grass than riders. :lol:
Sagan wins another one! :bow:
Crash a day, keeps the Cav away. . .
Mark Cav not happy. . .taken out again
Chris Froome wins!
Kenya. :bow:
Britain. :bow:
Sky. :bow:
Wiggins comes third but that means he will be in the yellow jersey. :popcorn:
GB representing. . .Wig first Brit in like ages to wear yellow (Did Millar ever?)
Can see Team Sky protecting him well, want to see Cav claw some points back though
Millar might have had it for a stage, can't remember though.
Peloton 3' behind the break away 30 odd k to go Team Sky holding the front
Pinot has a job to do holding on to this breakaway.
Pinot wins. :bow:
France. :bow:
Wiggins has just got going on his time trial. :popcorn:
Froome leads! Beat Cancellara by 22 seconds. :wacko:
