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

I'm loving this right now. But, AS is a great descender, surely he will catch up right? He loves the rain as well.

 

[lilyprotector]

oh crap. well you can't bust andy for not attacking if he doesn't have the legs to even follow.

 

[taiwan]

Contador attacks, and we finally have a race.

 

[Mellow Velo]

The Schlecks are screwed.
Cuddles, Contador and Samu on the descent, much much better.

 

[trevim]

Evans riding well now helping out the spanish. That's how you win a race. I'm not a fan of him but now he's riding really well

 

[The Hitch]

Contador is winning this Tour for Evans

 

[Gingerale]

yessss. go conti evans...

and get up there and join them sammy! evans is impressive.

 

[Maxiton]

Conti sucking Cadel's wheel.

 

[sportzchick]

Wow. What the hell? Excellent sandbagging by Evans.

And is a good decender compared to the rest....

 

[Publicus]

Go Cuddles! Drive the group. This race just got so much better.

 

[Apollonius]

Baby Schleck cracked already? LOL!

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

they have lost about 10 seconds already.

wow umbelieveable.
I was sure this stage would be nothing.

 

[therhodeo]

The Schlecks are screwed.
Cuddles, Contador and Samu on the descent, much much better.

My thoughts exactly. If they go over first the Schlecks are going to be under pressure on the descent and thats not good.

 

[PedalCastro]

Hushovd for the stage.. Not that it matters as much any more!

 

[luckyboy]

Holy crap this is so great. Sanchez gonna blast them downhill soon.

 

[Wergeland]

EBH and Hushovd will sprint for the stage. Should be an exciting finish.

What a stage!

 

[sultanofhyd]

Wait wait wait Contador suddenly found form after the second rest day

Wait wait how did Schlecks go from being utter crap on TdS to outright favourites in TdF?

You think Evans can live with Conti on this form on the pitches of the Alpe?? Doubt it.

 

[woodie]

So impressed with Cadel!

Nice work from Sammy to hang on and awesome attacks from Contador! This is awesome!

 

[saganftw]

lol schlecks already realized they lost the tour

evans looks very good though,maybe this time he can win

 

[craig1985]

EBH, Thor, Hesjedal FTW.

 

[kanari]

EBH descending like an eagle!

 

[funnytanlines]

so much for andy being 100%

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Contador with attack number 3. This man is fantastic

 

[spalco]

Did Alberto drink a bottle of whiskey before the race?
