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

[zapata]

Amazed that Costa is still there. Contador and Costa only have one pair of knees between them, after all.

 

[spalco]

How much farther to the top?

 

[Bala Verde]

Evans is doing all the work (again) while Conti and Andy are working together.

 

[sportzchick]

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

meh...It comes with the territory...you live by the sword you die by the sword

me no fussed

Amazed that Costa is still there. Contador and Costa only have one pair of knees between them, after all.

lol i laughed hard

 

[Ramira]

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

If the field totally shatters Cavendish might end up in a group that's small enough he'll get eliminated though, Rojas might finish out of time but he won't be in the last 20% of riders, Cavendish will.

 

[The Hitch]

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

I think Andy is far more likely to bonk there.

 

[Jamsque]

2km from the top. Evans is going to have to do the descent of his life.

Andy has heard that Cadel is chasing and has started riding properly.

 

[jobiwan]

Gap creeps back out to 1:20.

 

[RdBiker]

Amazed that Costa is still there. Contador and Costa only have one pair of knees between them, after all.

Contador doesn't want to drop him yet. Will he attack on the descent and try to drop Andy with Costa?

 

[ak-zaaf]

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

Without those 15 days these stages wouldn't have been so amazing. That's why a GT lasts 3 weeks.

 

[No_Balls]

What a ****ing stage. Best for decades (without even being very comfortable with it all).

 

[sulgpallur]

Nope, he's riding 1 against 1½.

lol contador is riding with one leg

 

[ManInFull]

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

Too bad Evans didn't decide to do this yesterday when Andy took off.

 

[No_Balls]

Cadel isnt gaining any more. Gap stabilised or even went up.

 

[The Hitch]

Samu!!!!!


Going to go wild on the descent !!!

 

[Jamsque]

Rolland and Evans vs Contador and Schleck

 

[ak-zaaf]

Samu off to help his buddy.

 

[Grayguard]

Samu going...

 

[Chef_Vodnik]

SSsssanchèz

 

[Dead Star]

Samu gooooooooooes.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sammy Sanchez, now I have seen it all

 

[GroupDK]

I think ASO is pretty happy with them self that they let Contador race..

been a part of lot of excitement -would have been a shame with out him, and not give the tour the same respect..

 

[Zoncolan]

Sammy Sanchez gonna brgidge on downhill. Go Sammy!
Catch him Cadel!

 

[Franklin]

Andy on the front: Gap becomes smaller.
