2011 Tour de France Stage 16 (18/7/2011): Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux - Gap, 162.5km

[thirteen]

He will be dropped by AC at some point in the Alps.

Anyway, the Schlecks are losing! Happiness!

oh yes oh yes oh yes

 

[HL2037]

Contador, he is truly a champion. He, Evans and Sanches should podium just for this.

 

[Maxiton]

attack number 3 almost cracked evans

contador can win this tour!!!!

Definitely.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

poor ebh btw.
will be very tough to beat 2 men.

 

[GroupDK]

a shame there aint more mountains today..

 

[Kwibus]

Please please please please please nobody falls on the downhill! please please please!

And also please let AC/SS and CE stay away from the Schleck group. Only to make the Tour more interesting and because I really start to like Contador more and more

Evans looked way more comfortable than AC imo

Groupe Contador 30seconds on Groupe TV, Schleck.

 

[The Hitch]

16 seconds.

if samu takes over it could be 30 by the end.

I pray to high heavens Samu does not slave for Evans in the descent, but goes himself.

 

[Parrulo]

wow already 30 secs

 

[SarahDane]

It's no suprise he found his form, he wanted to attacked on Plateu de beille, but decided he had to wait. Then comes the restday, and then comes the attacks, a day or two sooner than we had expected.

Now, who can agree now that Andy was stupid for not attacking (well, except for those precious two seconds) when he had the change?

Is Hesjedal able to hang on on the downhill is the question.

p.s. This stage is epic.

 

[Anonymous]

Anybody else think this will come back together?

 

[Phoenix23]

Nice to see aggressive riding, even on a supposedly moderate stage like today.

 

[boomcie]

Wonder who of the favorites will not be afraid to give it a go in the descent. Sanchez is a welcome asset to the Contador trio.

 

[Jamsque]

Everything is falling Evans' way so far this tour, but with the sudden resurgence of Alberto's climbing skills I think the Alps will be different.

 

[cleverhans]

Hushovd, Hesjedal and Hagen...sounds like a Norwegian law firm!

 

[Sidbike]

Anybody else think this will come back together?

I do...........

 

[funnytanlines]

excellent racing on two fronts- the breakaway & the peloton

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Andy in the rear of the group....

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Andy the great descender.. lol

 

[luckyboy]

I pray to high heavens Samu does not slave for Evans in the descent, but goes himself.

lol Evans off the front

 

[mr. tibbs]

I pray to high heavens Samu does not slave for Evans in the descent, but goes himself.

If they work together, they can eliminate a LOT of competition here. Samu will get Evans in the Alps, but the Schlecks and Basso are serious prizes today.

 

[The Hitch]

Wow, evans is outdescending Sanchez and Contador.

Samu showing the same descending skills he showed in Paris Nice - Euskaltel ones.

Anybody else think this will come back together?

I don't think so. I think the smaller group even has an advantage here.
