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

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

good that cuddles is back in the peloton. no need to waste energy on a lost cause. if this fails, he can thank a mechanical for winning le tour.

You sure we're not within 5km of the finish?

you mean last 500m right

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Andy looks quite good.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Voeckler is collapsing faster than the Berlin wall some 20 years back

 

[Mellow Velo]

Andy, help Contador, it will guarantee your own TDF victory...don't wait for Frank!

This.
But he won't.
Do a bit with Bertie and the Tour is in the bag.
Poor Voeckler is totally done.

Voeckler looks completely snapped

 

[zapata]

Almost good to see Voeckler dropped. Would be to ridiculous if he could keep up with this.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Saur rider looking to help Tommy.

 

[Kwibus]

Did they know Cadel had a mechanical?

I seriously doubt he had a mechanical. Looked more like a mental issue.
No offense toward Evans. Coz it's a hard blow when you get dropped.

 

[The Hitch]

This could be ok for Evans. He didnt crack, he had a mechanical. Maybe Contador would have made him crack. In peloton he can work with them on the descent and hope Andy gets caught.

 

[indurain666]

Schleck is not looking very comfortable anymore but Voeckler is coming back!!!!

Awesome racing!!!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

1.10 is peanuts if it wastes a great amount of energy.

great racing tho.

 

[sportzchick]

I couldn't tell anything was wrong with Evans' bike except he looked as though he cracked completely.

OMG

Surely you are trolling...no one can be that stupid

 

[spalco]

I think Contador has slowed down a little, maybe he wants to descend with that breakaway group. I think there's a chance Voeckler can get back on.

Right analogy - somehow you thought it would never happen then it does all at once ...........

 

[Bala Verde]

Andy keeps grimacing...

Chaingate 2.0

exactly. it was only a good situation for the schlecks when cadel was in this group.

Makes sense. He knows he lost it and he kept it yellow jersey so far on pure will.

If he doesn't his fanboys can blame another GT defeat to something besides himself!
This was bound to happen.

 

[The Hitch]

Oh ffs not Szmyd again.

 

[Sidbike]

Is Voeckler blown or just riding within himself? There's a long way to go.

 

[dbrmuz]

I don't see BOTH AC and AS lasting the whole stage at this pace.But who cracks first?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Well this is depressing. How much bad luck can Cadel get in GTs?

Contador winning the race for his main rival

bad luck?? his legs blew up as I've been predicring this whole tour.

also hilarious to see contadors friends in action

 

[thehog]

Need USPS here to control this stage. This is boring.

 

[Parrulo]

what the **** happened while i was gone?
