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

[sulgpallur]

they all are gonna be very tired by tonight

 

[TeoSheva]

Super G is with the Maillot Jaune! The kid just gets better.

should be normal to see Thomas with TV... what it's strange is that TV has the yellow jersey!

 

[zapata]

Even if it comes back before the alpe, this will be a glorious stage. No domestiques left, no trains.

 

[BYOP88]

Andy and Frank are going to crush on the Alpe!!

Hmm if Andy does then "hello", Frank might but has he really got the legs?

 

[Thomsena]

I have no words for this.

 

[The Hitch]

Crap why is everyone quoting by comment

I think it helped Evans because Contador would have kept trying to drop him until he cracked.

 

[Ramira]

Samu at 10" and Evans at 31" according to letour.fr, Basso at 1'06"

 

[ak-zaaf]

I'm not convinced Andy spent more energy than Evens so far today.

 

[Ferminal]

Samu being able to take corners faster than the cars a big help there.

 

[Pharazon]

this WHOLE stage has been 100%...

the grupetto is going to miss the time cut by a mile

 

[Cerberus]

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.

I think if Evans hadn't had a mechanical or had otherwise been dropped Andy would not have worked and the move would have fizzled at some point.

 

[Bala Verde]

Samu connects!!!!

 

[Moondance]

Geraaaint! Cymru am Byth

Geraint 'Rhyfelwyr' Thomas

 

[trevim]

What are we gonna do if Contador gets suspended? Besides of Andy's attack yesterday he's the one to blow the race apart. Let the guy ride

 

[The Hitch]

Who is in Evans group?

Edit, turns out a lot of people.

 

[Ferminal]

Game over for Evans.

 

[spalco]

Game over for Evans.

[Grayguard]

Leopard just told Andy to wait for Samu, then go as before.

 

[Cerberus]
