2011 Tour de France, Stage 12: Cugnaux - Luz-Ardiden, 209 km

[jobiwan]

Peloton have lost a minute to the Kadri front group since the climbing began

Nothing Contador can't close.

 

[The Hitch]

Velits and Sanchez down. If they're injured.....

Ok this is absolutely ridiculous. Could the mods create a rule against false information.

It was clear when it happened that the Euskaltel rider was NOT Sanchez.

For one all other EE riders rode by. Usually a sign that its not a team leader. Also the guy did not have an gold helmet and did not have a 1 on his rider number.

You do realise EE have more than 1 rider

But there you go ahead, see a Orange rider down and try to gain ego forum points by declaring its Sanchez.

So those who could tell that it wasnt Sanchez that fell, start believeing there is some other fall which has the Asturian as a casualty.,

False information presented as fact is not on.

Mods please do something about it.

 

[hrotha]

Where did you here that Sanchez is down?

Euskaltel down
Do I know any Euskaltel rider aside from Samu? No
Therefore, Samu down

There you have it, commentator logic.

mousse de vache!

[The Hitch]

@hitch it wasnt



.

I knew it wasnt sanchez who fell initialy but when someone comes on and says Sanchez has fallen, you believe there is another crash.

Take it easy. If the mods kicked off everyone who misidentified a rider in a race thread, everyone who posts in a race thread would be gone.

 

[brollebol]

Kloden back in the bunch

 

[trevim]

Kloden at the back of the peloton with Sergio Paulinho. Looks really bruised.

 

[AussieGoddess]

In all fairness hitch - the commentators all declared it was Samu

Heck Liggett and Sherwin would not even make out of the opening introduction of the day show if they were kicked when they misidentified a rider.

What's the weather like?

(Sorry just trying to help towards the 4000 posts)

Ooooo came down!

 

[spalco]

Euskaltel down

What made me concerned was how long the french directors focused the picture on the guy on the ground despite the not-that-serious looking fall; but I guess that was because of Klöden and not the Euskaltel.

 

[ak-zaaf]

Hoogerland in a chasse patate behind Chavanel and Kreuziger.
Maybe a couple of days too early for him.

 

[Florian]

Tourmalet, here we go!

Damn straight. Phil said four or five times it was Sanchez because the fallen rider had a golden helmet. If even Phil can make a mistake anyone can.

 

[Sasquatch]

I'm with Hitch 100%.

People should stop listening to Phil and Paul. The blokes wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Osama Bin Laden and Cadel Evans on a bike.

And boy does he make a lot!

I got banned for joking that if the guy who took out Contador wants forgiveness he should take out Schleck and Basso.

Under these standards stating as fact " Sanchez is down" should definately be worth a strike.

seriously.. he made a mistake.
big deal.

Somehow i believe your reaction would be slightly different if you were reading the forum and saw "Gesink down, will he get back up."

It's July buddy, won't happen in the Vuelta

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Voeckler loses yellow - the bike that is ....... not the jersey
(bike change)

 

[Eyeballs Out]

This has been a shambles of a stage so far. Slow. Minimal attacks. Few riders interested in KOM. And yet more crashes

 

[Anonymous]

seriously.. he made a mistake.
big deal.

Its the fact that he is wrong 70% of the time that is the issue...

people do it all the time, I guarantee I wouldn't go off at another member, who clearly made a mistake. that is imho pathetic.

My reaction would be...

...phewwww and/or is gesink ok?

fyi your ban was ridiculous also.
