2008 Tour de France thread.........


Recommended Posts

104km - Sporting Director Jonathan Vaughters on his Garmin-Chipotle team's Tour debut: "We're coming in with an open heart and an open mind. Most of them did the Giro, and the Giro was so much harder from a staff standpoint that the Tour is actually easier from that perspective. We started off thinking we were going to be a TdF team by 2009 or 2010 and obviously that's been a bit faster than we expected."

58km - OH DEAR!!! A huge union protest is blocking the route!! Some group called CGT are blocking the road, and being cleared off by police as the four leading riders have somehow managed to break their ways through the mess!! This could be there chance to stay away!! Tour Director Prudhomme is begging the protesters to leave before the peloton hits that patch!

40km - Emma Davies is on the air making her predictions. She is someone to be listened to, having correctly predicted Thor Hushovd's victory yesterday. She says "This is more of a Mark Cavendish finish" discounting a puncher like Gert Steegmans. Emma also saying that Julian Dean is someone to watch out for if this goes to a final sprint.
