I think drug test wiggins and especially froome, knocking off cancellara by that much? Looks very suss to meDAM wrote:Wiggins has increased his straglehold on the yellow jersy after a dominat victory in the 41.5klm time trial yesterday
Cadel Evans who started the day 10 seconds behind Wiggins, finished 6th in the time trial, with 53mins7secs.
The lead between the two has stretched out to 1minute and 53seconds
stage 10 on tuesday is a 194.4klm route from Macon to Bellengarde-sur-valserine, a highly mountainous leg including the first ever ascent of Col du Grand Colombier!
doesnt look good for Cadel to defend his 2011 Tour Victory!

As for cadel, I think he is in good shape, not many mountain top finishes meaning his descending skills can pick him up alot of time, at 1:53 back with the mountains ahead, he knows he has to attack but also he has no pressure of wearing the yellow jersey, I reckon he will take a massive amount back Wednesday night, huge chance of winning the stage, plus the likes of menchov and nibali will work with him to bring wiggins back
his tactics are different from wiggins, evans backs his climbing ability, but likes to be paced through the flat stages to keep out of trouble, hence his team selection, he knew the danger was wiggins being a better time trialer hence he knew he would have to attack in week 2, his tactics now are to put a man in the break away every day to have 1 sup[port him at the end if needed while wiggins gets carried through the mountains, evans doesn't care he is not in yellow, puts all the pressure on wiggins and it showed yesterday as they had to do alot of work to chance down nibali, hence evans didn't really attack, he let sky work themselves over, he would have observed how froome, porte and rogers were going and wether they can be there today for wiggins in a massive stage, hilltop finish, can see nibali, menchov, evans and van den broek all teaming up on sky, they want sky to ride themselves out of this raceDAM wrote:DOC wrote:I think drug test wiggins and especially froome, knocking off cancellara by that much?

no, the surprise is that all if not most riders, are on some sort of banned substance, tbh!
tried a move and it failed, went down fighting today, this chris froome lookes dodgy as shiraz, looked out of it, then comes back and sprints to the line, test him for everythingDAM wrote:moved down to 4th now, and well behind Wiggins...
He did look good today.maryusdemetry wrote:Froome looks like a man with a spare battery pack. Excellent stage.
