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

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?

I honestly don't think Andy was much better.

Really great group. Evans is deserving to win. He wasn't just following. Surprised that any of the Schlecks couldn't keep up. Andy boy being dropped now in the descend. Evans attacking! great ride...

 

[Ferminal]

Evans' average descending skills pulling the gap out.

 

[woodie]

Evans gapping them on the decent! So much for can't go downhill!

 

[dgodave]

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

Ha HA ha!!!!

my question is did he ever have the legs to do a full out attack? he seemed to be in good form that day, which was what made his lack of all-out attack frustrating, but maybe he just isn't in form.

Who would have expected a selection on this stage?

 

[Wergeland]

Beloki/Armstrong turn for Thor/EBH/Ryder now.

We'll get an answer to the day's earlier girlfight about Andy & Cadel's descending skills.

So far, all signs point to Cadel.

The same place where Beloki crashed in 2003.

 

[Descender]

hahahaha Schleck getting drop!!!

 

[SarahDane]

Something tells me this is not so much Alberto as it is Bjarne, I reckon he knew this was a stage the Schleck's would not feel comfortable on.

+1000

Now, who said this Tour was boring?

Has Ryo ever been right about anything? I don't think so.

Evans' average descending skills pulling the gap out.

Lol!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Basso off the radar?

Wow, evans is outdescending Sanchez and Contador.

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

Evans sux, just ask Ryo.

Andy is losing the Tour

 

[craig1985]

Andy Schleck fail.

 

[Wergeland]

Wow, 3km tempo for Thor. He really doesn't wanna sprint against EBH.

 

[bicing]

The earlier post which suggested this was Bjarne's idea - TOTALLY.

Have to say that I'm really in love with Bjarne...

 

[Maxiton]

New meaning to "the road to gap."

Was Andy off the back of the chasing group then?
