Turns out everyone that doesn't spend 90% of the time up front is a wheelsucker now (yeah I don't get it either.....).

That's nonsense.



Everyone who doesn't spend 90% of the time up front who I don't like is a wheelsucker.

I haven't a clue who's going to win today, but the gaps are going to be monstrous on Alpe D'huez no-one will have anything left.

(Also I think Cancellara or Martin are guaranteed to win the TT tomorrow as all the favourites are using massive amounts of energy today)

Phil and Paul do my head in. Every time they mention Samu they have to mention he is Olympic champion!

That does seem to be how it works on this forum. It's strange how people are willing to let their bias make them look like an idiot. Won't mention names.

If Cancellara or Martin make the time cut.

Evans will be with Contador and Schleck for Alpe.

The mechanical won him the race.

I don't see how it makes much difference, he had to climb up at the same pace or more anyway.

I am not sure if it hadn't been better for him to not have the mechanical and stay with the others. He could've just rested, gaining time on everyone but Andy and Contador and maybe even attack on the Alpe. Right now I have no doubt about his strength today, which would have kept him with the others easily for sure.

He used up a lot of energy though. Your predictions usually bomb, I hope you're right this time.:)
