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

[Grand Tourist]

Words fail me. I'm going to change my trousers (again)

Go Bert !!!!!!!!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Evan with bike that works is pulling them back 1'09

 

[SarahDane]

Kim Andersen. "It will be Alpe d'Huez. Very good guy." (no, not guys, or Andy, just guy.)

 

[Parrulo]

isn't evans's head already bouncing a bit?

 

[Sidbike]

Veockler has two teammates with him still?

 

[Escarabajo]

Old fashioned cycling!

The way I like it.

 

[sportzchick]

Evans is doing the work again?

He has to....Basso is gone and the only one who is fresh enough is Frank...

 

[ak-zaaf]

Sooo Evans faked a mechanical and then rips the peloton to shreds and slowly closing the gap...

Boy oh boy... some posters here look pretty ridiculous

With posters like sportschick around you're going to have trolls. It's inevitable.

 

[DenisMenchov]

WHat A STAGE!!! I LOVE THIS RACE!!!!!

 

[Pharazon]

this tour is FRIKKIN awesome

 

[Ramira]

Evans might be closing the gap but he's riding 1 against 2 right now, this is not good for him.

 

[Zoncolan]

Tommy V, you ***, do some work, or make Rolland work.
Is Rolland going for white here?

 

[sulgpallur]

good stage indeed

 

[hoolaparara]

Paul Sherwin reckons this is the steep side but the roads seem so much nicer than yesterday!

 

[Chef_Vodnik]

For every low, dreary second of the pyrenees - this makes up for it tenfold.

 

[The Hitch]

Cav gonna lose another 20 points today, it looks like! Paris will be even better!

Can Rojas make it though?

 

[hfer07]

this does NOT look good for Cadel at all-god forbid he bunks in the Alpe d'Huez..

 

[DenisMenchov]

Tommy V, you ***, do some work, or make Rolland work.
Is Rolland going for white here?

Probably fnaskjfa

 

[ericthesportsman6]

Evans is pulling them back. Down to 1:10

 

[Ramira]

Tommy V, you ***, do some work, or make Rolland work.
Is Rolland going for white here?

Tommy V doesn't have anything left and if he makes Rolland work he'll just blow him off the back, never going to happen.

 

[Parrulo]

this tour is awesome?

and me thinking this was a 1 week race like the dauphine with 15 days of warm up on slippery roads before

p.s. yes the last 2 stages have been amazing but 2 days of great racing doesn't make a GT

 

[Sidbike]

My gut original told me Evans blew and faked a mechanical to save face. Evans's performance now tells me my gut was wrong.

 

[RdBiker]

The best two stages in the Tour I've seen in a long time (so far at least )

 

[Pharazon]

Can Rojas make it though?

rojas only just made the cut yesterday, and it wasn't anywhere near as INSANE as today

 

[SarahDane]

Evans might be closing the gap but he's riding 1 against 2 right now, this is not good for him.

Nope, he's riding 1 against 1½.
