2011 Tour de France Stage 13: Pau - Lourdes 156km

[Franckiie]

Nonsense imo. Must be the emotion of the moment. Very impressive nonetheless of course.

It think the way he won is maybe the greatest win.
Offcourse is winning world championship greater than a tdf stage.

I thought Thor would get a stage win, but not this one!

Awesome ride from The God of Thunder!

 

[thirteen]

Thor is one happy puppy

 

[dlwssonic]

damn it poor old roy deserved it. but a great ride from a sprinter.

 

[GroupDK]

Massive respect to Roy, too bad he couldn't pull it off. I hate Thor even more now, all that Viking bullsh*t Pffth!!

I dont think you need to worry anymore or be afraid, the vikings dont do you like that anymore, now a days its on camera..

It would be cool if Hushovd went to a French team next year, they would let him do whatever he wants. Not BMC I hope.

BMC need more mountain helpers so hopefully he does go.

You think he will be a mountain domestique if he does go?

 

[Ratatosk]

Great entertainment by the guys in front!

Roy massive heart, Hushovd epic Viking spirit, Moncoutié was damned the moment he couldn't catch Roy and couldn't gap Thor on the Aubisque.

And please could we have a few more Gilberts in the peloton? He makes the fight for 10th exciting.

Who would've predicted a Petacchi top 10 this morning? LOL

 

[dlwssonic]

LOL Hushovd is very strong for a sprinter in the mountains but he isnt strong enough to be a mountain helper

 

[superconfex]

Why are people trying to tell me different from the words that came from his mouth?
Your opinion doesn't count the man has spoken. No swapping this was THE ONE for Thor

must be a magic Lourdes impact

He wouldn't do it anyway. Should go to a French team.

 

[dlwssonic]

BMC will become the home for the world champions

 

[sublimit]

JV will take full credit as usual with him being a complete genius.

Jeremy Roy is the man though with great climbing and endurance for 2 days - but stuffed on the descent this time but thats cycling.

 

[*G*K*S*]

must be a magic Lourdes impact

Norwegian TV “Lourdes has the virgin Mary, we have Thor Hushovd!”

 

[HL2037]

He wouldn't do it anyway. Should go to a French team.

He should go to Saxo, and Bjarne Riis will show him how to win Paris-Roubaix

 

[Mellow Velo]

Gilbert 6 points

That was a great 35km sprint.
Well worth the effort.
Nice to see him make Baby Schleck whine to Voeckler about GC standings, though.

 

[dlwssonic]

too bad he will be glued to cancellaras wheel.

I just wonder- With such spectacular stage win by Hushov, and rumors going around his possible departure..... what JV is going to do about it?

 

[nomendil]

What can JV do about it? I don't think Hushovd is staying.

As an aside, today's rumor was Hushovd + Gilbert to BMC.

 

[HL2037]

If Vaughters wants a sprinter team build around Tyler Farrar, he can't also have Hushovd.

 

[hrotha]

What an immense turd of a stage. Leopard are idiots.

 

[Amsterhammer]

A pity for Roy, but what an utterly EPIC ride by Thor!

When saying that this was his greatest and also craziest win, he emphasized the whole calculated nature of the ride, and crossing the line with the rainbow jersey on.

Dutch tv is convinced he'll be joining Voeckler.

They have always been.
