Re: With there being only five Britons in the Tour, their dominance is certainly impressive. Wibble Send a noteboard - 22/07/2012 10:41:00 PM
Still, on the whole I have to say this year's TdF was boring and sorely missed the excitement that Contador and to a lesser extent Andy Schleck would've injected.


Not sure how much excitement Contador could bring, not if he was racing clean anyway. And Saxo-Bank didn't look like a particularly strong team, which anyone would have needed to really crack the Sky train. Schleck would have brought some crazy mountain excitement aye, and then been mullered in the TTs

It was nice to see the yellow jersey go all out in the final kilometer for the Champs Elysees sprint, too. Doesn't happen that often that a team has both the GC winner and the Champs Elysees winner.


That was pretty cool aye, especially as 2 other trains were trying to get to the front.

Wiggins wins the Yellow Jersey snoopcester - 22/07/2012 06:03:38 PM 508 Views
I went to school with a fellow named Wiggins. TaskmasterJack - 22/07/2012 07:03:04 PM 439 Views
Perhaps it is the same person? snoopcester - 22/07/2012 07:12:51 PM 433 Views
About as likely as him being an ancestor of fictional future character Ender Wiggin. TaskmasterJack - 22/07/2012 07:17:51 PM 442 Views
A different spelling there though? snoopcester - 22/07/2012 08:10:25 PM 419 Views
That's why I went with unlikely ancestor. Spellings can change over the centuries. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 22/07/2012 11:08:46 PM 179 Views

It does show how little strength in depth there is, though Dan Martin was born and raised in Britain snoopcester - 22/07/2012 08:06:07 PM 447 Views

He rather seems like the real deal - unlike most of the proven doping cases. Legolas - 23/07/2012 09:49:20 PM 487 Views
