TDF STAGE 17 - DISCUSSION - SPOILER ALERT! (Page 4)

WOW that is pretty big.

Wiggins has a reason he has improved so much. He has lost some serious weight and worked on his climbing. I can see him peeling some serious time back in tomorrow's time trial and and then attacking at Mont Ventoux. Could be a very intersting tour yet

I remember stage 17 in 2004, where Lance won. About 7 riders were in the lead, including Lance and his teammate Hincape. Lance tried to give George the win, but the leaders were too strong (Kloden, Ullrich etc). So in the final 700m, he just said screw it, and inched his wheel infront for the win. He could have destroyed the group if he wanted to... so yeah, I think Lance can take this stage again.

Morning everyone!  Can't get the Versus feed today.  Not a good birthday surprise. 

Sastre is moving.... could be interesting.

Sastre and Calzati go at the bottom of the climb. It's ON!

It's OFF!  That didn't take much to reel them back in...

Thor is putting in for Sastre. What a team-mate...

Thanks. 

It's true that the best birthdays are in July.

Happy Birthday to you....

Happy birthday, Jen!  For your birthday, I bring you...and exploded peleton!

Happy birthday Jen

lol...thanks, Rick!

Awesome. Contador marks Andy, Lance marks Schleck. AMAZING! 

Thanks!

Wiggins isn't looking so good right now.

Oh, wow, Wiggo in a spot of bother. Frank straight over the top to the leaders. 2 astana, 2 Astana.  Lance can't get to the big group because he'd pull Wiggins up to the lead.  P&P called it perfectly...make Wiggins do the work if he wants to catch up.

Wiggins is not lost yet. He is traveling okay for mine...
