CumbrianRam Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Froome again showed why he should be leading le Tour. May have more a chance next year, apperantly there is going to be one less time trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Wow, what a shift they put in today and what a skill is it to dress a cut open elbow with bandages while they're still moving? More mountains tomorrow isn't it, through that gorgeous scenery, all the way to Paris and what's looking like a win for Wiggins. Great stuff.

BorneoRam Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Tomorrow (or today really) is a lot less intense, some even predict a group sprint, then time trial and we are done. Barring a big accident Wgiggins has it won and Froome will be 2nd - it is incredible, should be nailed on for the SPOTY award even in Olympic year - Murray was the only one who would have challenged if he had won. On all the Froome talk, he is a better climber and excels in summit finishes but I am not sure he would have beaten wiggo, especially after the puncture that cost him time on the first stage. This year has 2 long time trials plus a prologue and wiggins is stronger there - for example today everyone was saying Froome could have won, maybe so but they were only 19 secs behind and wiggo has 2 mins on him with a big time trial to come - there was the other summit finish where he went to sprint away and could maybe have gotten a minute or so on him, but again, he is 2 mins down and that will be more after the TT stage on Sat - it would have been hellishly close though. Still the real thing that has been impressive is Team Sky - it is not a 2 man team, they are pretty much doing what they want when they want and controlling the whole thing, Froome would be best biding his time and seeing what the tour looks like next year because being in this team makes it a lot easier to win....

CumbrianRam Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Wiggins wins the Tour de France, dominates the time trial. Beating Froome by 1 min 16 secs, 3 min 21 secs ahead in general classification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Absolutley amazing..! The best athlete in the world...the guy is a machine!! Allez Wiggo!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 He has won it, tomorrow is just a parade day, all they will do is cruise into Paris... Super human effort by Wiggo, going to have a bottle of bubbly and celebrate with the Frenchies!!! Allez wiggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Technically he hasn't won, only a major accident or the guy in 2nd deciding to go againest tradition could prevent him taking the title. It's not over until the fat lady sings......remember anything involving the UK in sport usually has a cliff hanger moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Its a gentlemans sport, and today is a parade, even if he comes off he still wins if there is something like 30 k left. Just hope that cav can win the sprint to cap off the domination This is GREAT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 It was Lesley Garrett and she was a bit off key I have to say. What a great win for the team. I was looking for Frogggy, Muespach and a load of lads in Derby shirts, but all I saw was Union Jacks. No hardship there then.

Amazing day, so so so lucky to be a small part of the celebrations! Wiggo is a legend, they actually like hom over here too, his humbleness has really struck a cord here, they have been calling him le jeune gentlemen... Allez allez wiggo. !!!
