GREAT stage yesterday. Perhaps Andy will pull through?
We should really see a lot of attacking on today's stage. I am really looking forward to it.

WOW.
Now THAT was a stage!
I admit to tears in my eyes when I saw Voeckler's pained yet grateful face, crossing that line and holding onto yellow. He also I am BEYOND thrilled for Andy. "No guts, no glory". I really respect how hard Cadel pushed himself. And Contador? Eh...just can't say I am feeling all that bad for him.

Hey there Dapper, I'm here. I really need to catch up with this weeks stages. Our gig is tomorrow so come Monday I'll be doing a big catch up.
Looks like the Schlecks have it sewn up though, unless Cadel puts in a supreme effort today and tomorrow and makes up the 57" he's behind but it's a bit of a tall order considering how in form both the Schlecks are. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Cav le Whingièr (he's young and should learn to keep his gob shut!) keeping hold of the green jersey comp. Thankfully Rojas was in the same group as Cav that came in over time yesterday. |

I was seriously just teasing you. You have just been the only one who has really had an interest in engaging about the details of the race, so that is why I was busting on you! Watching right now. Catador made me a bit nervous yesterday even though I knew it would be very, very hard for him to make up the time. From moment one I have been rooting for Andy, but Cadel has always been there in the back of my mind. He is a good rider, has never had a great team to support him (until this year..they are much better), and has such a history of choking that he kind of feels like an underdog to me. Being a great time trialest and being only 57 seconds behind Andy, there is a small chance he could make up the time. Andy though, has done better with his time trials the last couple of years, though. I Big BIG good luck with your gig tomorrow! Ok, commercial break over!

I have to admit to being a bit shocked, and a bit numb. And a bit bummed.
I never figured Andy would lose like that. I suppose the last two days of hard riding was just too much for him. Congrats to Cadel. He did work hard for it. It was nice to see the first Australian in history to win the Tour.

Great ceremony
I loved seeing the Schleck brothers ride with their arms around Cadel.
Seeing Andy grab a photographer's camera to fool around with it, indicates to me that he is really at peace with all of it. Congrats to all Australians! First win ever in the the history of the tour (108 years!)! See this thread next year!

Hey hey Dapper, I knew you were teasing and I wish I'd taken a leaf out of your book and not looked at this thread until I'd caught up with the final stages.
Anyhoo...it's now Monday, the gig has been and gone (ta ever so much for the luck) and thankfully was a success. I've slept deliciously late and am now installed on the sofa with a vat of tea to catch up on the last stages despite knowing who's won. WooHooo for Cadel, I was really surprised when I read that Cadel had made up the time on Andy. I'm looking forward to watching the TT action unfold. Go Cav!!! Le Maillot Vert is a fantastic achievement. Now we have to wait a week or so for Contador's hearing at the Court of Arbitration. I'm so glad he didn't get a podium finish or jersey win. |

Tell her it is only 4 hours every morning or 3 hours each evening, depending upon when you watch. That is not TOO much time, is it? I figured I could count on you and Snack to join me!

What a Stage- Tour de France 2012
It was great to the French win this stage. It's been awhile since they've had a win like this. Viva France!

Oh My Giddy Aunt!!
The first ever Brit one, two in tour history. What an awesome ride by Wiggo and Frome in the TT. To be fair Evans rode brilliantly too, just not quite well enough. GO TEAM SKY! |

I was impressed with Jens Voigt yesterday, he did a hell of a job riding across the gap.
Not bad for being the oldest rider in the tour!
