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

[Parrulo]

The question is can Martin and the others get away on the climb?

I think they'll all be looking to Hushovd and they'll regret it when Thor lets Hesjedal go up the road on the climb!!

RYDER FTW!!

(1,000 posts for me, cool )

gratz on 1k posts

i hope they drop hushovd on the climb so he can show us his "amazing descending skills"

Oh, yeah, I think you might be right. More team playing.

Only 2 or 3 were any good iirc. Mind you it's better than me, more than 6k, and none of them any good

Thanks hrotha and parrulo.

I've only been studying spanish for 1 ½ year, 1 year to go in high school, and despite having been in Spain 16 times, I haven't picked up on Crack.

So I guess the saxo buys are having a crack time.

 

[SarahDane]

Astana (especially with Lance) = no crack
Saxobank = crack

Hesjedal was the main instigator of this break so whether he can hold out on the climb I dont know.. I'd imagine he's a bit stuffed.

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Hehe

Oooo BMC just getting to the front to be safe?

 

[Winterfold]

Bad weather

Thor or EBH

I think EBH is faster than Thor these days but does he have the nous?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

looks like ryder is in charge of bridging the group to ignatiev

 

[sportzchick]

Is Cadel planning an attack?

but but but Cadel never attacks.......

 

[Parrulo]

this coats they use don't look at that warm . . .

hes-jay solo

 

[Jamsque]

Hes-Jay leaving Thor behind now!

 

[jobiwan]

Well I seems I was wrong, Hesjedal playing the teammate for Thor.
Probably the better choice, but I would have like to see Hesjedal go for himself.
Maybe tomorrow though!

Go THOR or RYDER!

EDIT: Maybe not, GO RYDER!!!

 

[craig1985]

Gruppetto's have formed and Chavanel has gone out the back.

 

[The Hitch]

Is Cadel planning an attack?

[Parrulo]

gesink already dropped . . . .

its pathetic that he is still racing. he should be getting ready for the vuelta

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

but but but Cadel never attacks.......

stop acting like calimero

 

[boomcie]

I've enjoyed Hushovd this Tour, but I couldn't bare seeing him win another stage.

I'm afraid he's going to crush everyone in the descent.

Go Ryder.
