Stage 1, Monday 6 June, Albertville to Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, 144km
Stage 2, Tuesday 7 June, Voiron to Lyon, 179km
Stage 3, Wednesday 8 June, Grenoble to Grenoble, 42.5km ITT
Stage 4, Thursday 9 June, La Motte-Servolex to Mâcon, 173.5km
Stage 5, Friday 10 June, Parc des Oiseaux - Villars-les-Dombes to Les Gets, 210km
Stage 6, Saturday 11 June, Les Gets to Le Collet d'Allevard, 192.5km

So.. Cadel in second, 1min 11 behind Wiggins... and two days to go. I think he likes to win this race, can he do it?

Once again Cadel didn't inspire any confidence that he will do any good in this years TDF. He just never looks comfortable when repeated attacks happen on the climbs. Guess we will wait and see.

I don't think he has enough in him to get away from Contador or Schleck.The Womble wrote:Im sure Im not alone in thinking that instead of Cadel reacting to attacks, he MUST be the attacker in the mountains if he is to have any hope this year. Take a chance, ride to his threshold, and see what happens just like the Worlds win. Also, he doesnt dominate in the TT the way he did a few years ago. Hr cant rely on a good TT to pull him up the placings any more. C'mon Cadel, show some Gonads! OOGABOOGA!

The idea would be to go as hard as possible and wait for the rest to simply drop off his wheel or take the chance. He usually sits at the back end of the GC contenders and is the last to respond as a result. Bertie doesnt let someone else dictate the pace on the stages that count

Cadel has never been a dominant ITTer in the way that Fab is and that Lance and Jan were. He is still as he was, a consistent top 10 guy. The only ITT stage he won at the Tour was in 07 when Vino went down. He'll pull back time on all the genuine climbers except Contador.
He always gives all he's got.The Womble wrote:C'mon Cadel, show some Gonads! OOGABOOGA!

Just trying to keep up with those two puts most on their limit.

He's had a great season so far, and you never know what happens at the TdF.

The other thing is that you don't want to peak too early for TdF. It's a 3-week race with the most difficult stages at the very end.
