    The Official Poll: Should Contador Have Waited For Schleck's Mechanical??

    Stephen Roche commented on it on eurosport,saying Schleck musn't have had his chain guard on to save 50 grams.Well he saved 50 grams but lost the time.To me this is his and his mechanics fault so why should Contador wait yet again for him.Besides Menchov and Sanchez didn't hang back. What goes...

    Renshaw out

    @four winds totally agree with you,the Cav haters blame him for every incident in cycling. @bikecentric what Cav fanboys:eek: all I see on here is HATRED towards a guy none of you know.He gets the blame just for being the best sprinter in the peloton at the moment. He did nothing wrong in...

    Renshaw out

    I loved watching Kelly and Vanderaerden sprinting against each other,proper sprints in them days.They would both be banned for life if they were galloping now :eek: Be interesting to see the remaining gallops of this tour,wonder if any body else is D.Q.'d

    Renshaw out

    It's not as disgusting as the HATRED shown.Cav did nothing wrong in this sprint. As for the other points Dean does move over and puts his elbow into Renshaw(look at the barriers) When Renshaw looks left does he see Farrar as I watched this over 100 times and seems he looks left when Farrar is...

    Renshaw out

    He only stopped FARRAR and Cav had gone before that.If Renshaw hadn't knocked Dean both him and Cav would have been in the barriers.Cav had his wits about him and went when he seen what was happening.Petacchi was no way impeded,maybe Farrar could have passed him but no way would he have caught...

    Renshaw out

    What is it with all this Cav hatred.Why should they take his win away:mad: Dean could have brought them all down if Renshaw had not moved him.You can't take your hands off the bars so what was he supposed to do.Ok 3 times was a bit extreme.The biggest mistake he made in my view was squeezing...
