well we should all thank leopard for making it interesting. no one would have predicted this this morning.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Szmyd is going to hurt people on the final climb.

+1 this is one of his days

 

[53x11 in DC]

I didn't mean right that second by "now." I meant for the rest of the Tour. If you think bottle could win a stage, you are fooling yourself. It isn't bias, that is reality.

You've just proved my point. He can't compete at this level, so he, like any other rational cyclist, would do everything in his capacity to stay with the group. Why is this so darn hard to understand? You may not like him/shack/the bruyneel lineage, but that's unfortunately the way it is. Even for your cat v racer who cant stay at the front, you simply know your limits. Why do you not bust on all the other back markers?

Honestly, I am going to laugh my a$$ off if Contador sprints away from Schleck. I don't think he has the legs, but I will smile if he does so.

Quck call the mods, someone has hacked TFF's account

 

[Bala Verde]

11 days, 1.5 mountains further, we have a handful of contenders, one Siamese twin, Basso Evans and Contador?

I hope for this. Basso looks dangerous.

 

[hatcher]

EBH still in the peloton, holy ****!!

With Uran and Zandio. Looking pretty comfortable too I thought.

edit: actually think I was looking at Zandio.

 

[Ferminal]

Time to move over Jens.

 

[EmpressJo]

respect for Voight, the oldest man at 40 taking the front still..

I [heart] Jens...

Yay bike racing!

[Parrulo]

kloden being dropped, and thomas is a jack of all trades he can sprint, climb, time trial and good on the cobbles too

contador is about to get dropped?

 

[Carl0880]

It looks like The Carrots are looking pretty good, I see Sanchez have at least 3 teammates there i think

 

[Tom T.]

Contador is playing possum.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

EBH still in the peloton, holy ****!!

Sure? I only see Uran and Zandio.

 

[spalco]

Time to move over Jens.

You'll have to peel the bike from under his cold dead **** for that to happen.

 

[GroupDK]

You can hear from inside the Leopard 1 director car where there are a live camera,
this number is being playd loud and director Kim andersen i singing his lungs full.

Indeed. Not sure if I understand the tactic though.

 

[Highlander]

Does anyone know how many teammates Contador has left?

 

[Escarabajo]

A question. How many riders in the main Peloton?

Yea, sorry, but how would Bottle know whether or not he can attack, he has never done it.

What? You think being dead is going to stop Jens from pushing the pace? What kind of a wimp do you take him for!

 

[Carl0880]

Whoa kudos to Roy slowly pulling Thomas back.

 

[MartinGT]

I [heart] Jens...

You're not the only one

 

[franciep10]

I don't think so I could be wrong but he looks comfortable

3 or 4 (Porte, Navarro, Hernandez and CAS)--so I guess i am saying 4
