Contador ain't gonna lose this one without a fight.. that descent took serious balls and ability.. a true champion. If he wins this, it's going to be an amazing comeback considering all the bad luck he's had. Either way, glad all the GC contenders made it down in one piece.

WTF Richardson says Contador was a big winner gaining precious seconds.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

So you just make s**t up about the Schlecks and then say it tells you everything you need to know about them? Nice.

It's pretty obviously my interpretation of how they will be feeling - if not I apologise, but I strongly suspect that will be their real feelings tonight. I pretty obviously wasn't quoting them, or claiming to quote them, so get your panties out of a twist.

*troll/moron alert*

evans fatal 3rd week is coming and I can't wait to see him drop the next 2 days

*troll/moron alert*

to be fair ryo did state that andy sucks in the raib otherwise is ok yesterday.

maybe not fair to judge evans on this tho. I reckon cadel is looking tired.

 

[Dedelou]

Samu.. Every day it is something else.. We will see what tomorrow brings."

 

[Descender]

How's Contador's English? Better than Nadal's?

Andy's comment after the stage:

"The pacours today was much better than yesterday, I like Italian roads, I don't like Italian parking lots though, stupid of the frenchmen to stop there, they should learn how to handle their bikes."

no no no. please tell me he didn't!

that guy seriously needs a muzzle

Man...you root for guys to fail almost as hard as you root for the Colombians...what makes you tick fella?

 

[Sidbike]

This Tour has been a huge success to Norway: four stage wins and Thor's yellow.

All this with just two riders in the race!

Also Thor TTT win and EBH 2nd place yesterday. Amazing.

I think you could see it in Andy's gestures as he was crossing the finishing line.

 

[Grayguard]

Cudos to the Schlecks for fighting More of this coupled with some real attacks, can only make the race even more interesting.

 

[SarahDane]

How's Contador's English? Better than Nadal's?

I would say so.

 

[thrawn]

no no no. please tell me he didn't!

that guy seriously needs a muzzle

I'm 99.9999999% certain they made that quote up.

 

[sulgpallur]

How's Contador's English? Better than Nadal's?

Nadal's is better

 

[sportzchick]

Still don't want to give Cadel a chance I see....oh well

As they say in motorsport when the flag drops the BS stops...

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Man...you root for guys to fail almost as hard as you root for the Colombians...what makes you tick fella?

I dislike some riders intensely but not as much as I enjoy guys like contador, samu, ebh and uran today

 

[maltiv]

The best sprinter in the group, the best descender in the group...tactic? Drop them on the CLIMB! Awesome! What a ride by Eddy!

 

[sublimit]

Hagen owned that race and is now the new Peter Sagan. Ahh hang on he's older and Sagan hasn't ridden a GT yet

 

[Publicus]

to be fair ryo did state that andy sucks in the raib otherwise is ok yesterday.

maybe not fair to judge evans on this tho. I reckon cadel is looking tired.

Which frankly is to be expected. He's been strong throughout. I can't imagine he can hold it all the way to Paris.

Contador looks like he's getting very comfortable. Very comfortable.

Man...you root for guys to fail almost as hard as you root for the Colombians...what makes you tick fella?

you are trying to find reason and logic in a completely irrational, illogical person in ryo? good luck!

 

[UlleGigo]

A question for everyone, if Contador can win this does it rate better than Pantani coming from a long way back to win in '98?

Also, would be the first to win Giro/Tour double since Pantani.
