    Tour de France 2011 STAGE 20 - Grenoble 42.5 km ITT

    i hope this is true because i have been beyond baffled how if your entire season is based on winning one tour and you lost the tour last year in your time trial how you could possibly not have reconned the tt.

    2011 TDF: Stage 19 - Modane - Alpe-dÂ’Huez

    i fully expected cadel to explode this last week, and instead he has ridden magnificently so hats off to him. i hope andy wins, but part of me will now feel a little bad for cadel if that happens.

    wouldn't it be funny of the two seconds andy picked up earlier to much ridicule ends up winning him the tour?

    2011 TDF: Stage 19 - Modane - Alpe-dÂ’Huez

    i think andy was pretty heroic not cracking. he tried to do the breakaway again today after what he did yesterday. i have read everything from andy needs 2 30 on cadel to win the tour to he needs a minute. can someone please help clarify?

    is frank even in the picture? oh boy, he's been about as much help to andy as he was last year. i hope he pulls something out.

    i am PRAYING that andy feels great today and that's why he's helping bertie because he's not worried about blowing up. hope this is not return of leopard's perplexing strategy in previous weeks.

    2011 TDF: Stage 19 - Modane - Alpe-dÂ’Huez

    again, not watching so relying on everyone's posts today :(. i am NOT getting why andy would work. to me, he should wheelsuck on contador as long as possible so he does not risk blowing himself up after yesterday's mammoth effort. unless he's worried contador will drop and leave him alone...

    could someone explain why frank would let himself fall into the peloton on purpose? wouldn't it be better for him to stay with andy assuming he could? or is it not to put all your eggs in one basket?

    2011 TDF: Stage 19 - Modane - Alpe-dÂ’Huez

    in the middle of last night i thought, oh gee, contador could still win. if he had a great day and pulled back two minutes from schleck (assuming he could lose evans). looks like he did find his legs. sounds like andy's doing well. go andy go! am really enjoying the posts as we're in a...
