Chips Lovell

Roche in the break, one climb to go.

Knock yourselves out.

Fair play to him
He is flying that shamrock on his back high with his tour performance

53km - The second intermediate sprint was in Pre Saint-Didier at kilometer 106 was won by Ireland's Nicolas Roche from Vogondy and Verdugo. Now it is time for the final climb of the day.

Anyone got an interactive tracker? The one at tdf.sbs.com.au seems to be broken.

You have to be impressed with the texan. Awesome

alibabba

where is roche ?

one min he is ahead of the GC boys, now it looks like he is behind them ?

Schlecks gave it all. Have they got anything left to try? Nearing the top now, not much time left to attack.

Armstrong was superb there.

warrfla

roche back in the main bunch - 3 mins behind

alibabba

god the main guys must have pressed the accel button for sure

Just asked myself the same question, couldn't see him on the interactive in any of the break aways so I'm assuming he's in the main peloton

Aye. can anyone explain why some retards insist on running beside the cyclists, usually coming close to knocking them down - contador struck out at one or 2 on sunday when he was on his epic climb to the finish? I always thought it was a spectator sport, not one with an audience participation module.
