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

[Bumeington]

Anyone got this ascent on the stopwatch? How long is Conti going to take?

 

[zapata]

I have to pee really bad but I don't want to leave this battle

Just like the riders. Imagine, an entire stage with no opportunity to stop for a natural break.

 

[TimChristy]

AC owns these dudes

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Thomas De gendt, wtf

 

[Ferminal]

Wow, Sammy has a minute already? Frank is obviously riding a **** tempo.

 

[scullster46]

Try to crash-talk this Phil & Paul!

lol. I'm sure they will find some reason not to give Conti the ride of the day today. I'm most interested in how bob roll reacts to this

 

[mr. tibbs]

At some point Andy, Frank or Cadel has to attack. It just seems inevitable.

Really? An attack from one of these three seems inevitable?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Ok, that climb looks scary. Geaux Alberto!

 

[indurain666]

1:42 to the Schlecks!!!!

 

[Paco_P]

AC cracking in the last 3K yesterday may turn out to be the difference

Contador isn't even on the podium yet. He's got two Schlecks, Evans, and Voeckler in front of him. He just wants the stage.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

WTF De Gendt?

 

[goggalor]

Wow, Sammy has a minute already? Frank is obviously riding a **** tempo.

Must be wrong. They're right behind.

 

[spalco]

God dammit Cadel if you let Contador win this Tour de France I will never ever forgive your ***.

If Contador wins this Tour on the Alpe today I'll never say a bad thing about him anymore.

 

[Publicus]

Where is Basso?

 

[TRDean]

How far back is Cunego? Does Evans look good?

 

[GroupDK]

last 2 times there have been alpe huez in the tour, have Riis team taken it with satre and frank and perhaps now with contador - he deserves it contador..

 

[thirteen]

shiiiit AC 1'30" to Schlevans group

yes yes yes!!!

 

[Jamsque]

These time gaps are wrong, Sanchez does not have a minute on Schlevans.

 

[Carl0880]

Anyone got this ascent on the stopwatch? How long is Conti going to take?

Yes, right now there are on pace for about a 39'30" time (Contador)

 

[sulgpallur]

How far back is Cunego? Does Evans look good?

cunego with schlecks and evans

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

The Schlecks and Cadel need to get their act together.
Contador has alsmost gained 2 minutes now.

 

[indurain666]

Really? An attack from one of these three seems inevitable?

I really don't see Evans moving, he does not need it.

As for the Schleckies...well...they do need to do something but I don't think they can

 

[perico]

In all fairness, I think Phil's comments were made out of context. He's not anywhere near as derogatory towards Contador as Paul and Bobbie Roll.

 

[phanatic]

here comes tv ftw

 

[Cervelo77]

Gap out to 40 seconds now. Contador is going to win his damn stage. I hope they scrape his name off the turn marker when the CAS verdict comes in.

Clinic, I think.
