2011 Tour de France Stage 18 - Pinerolo - Galibier Serre-Chevalier 200.5km

[wirral]

Eurosport Asia. WTF, WTF, interview in Chinese with a bank executive. WTF is going on? It's a 100% English language channel.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

does he have to?

:facepalm: that's why I said evans is afraid he'll be isolated afte rizoaard that why's he sends his riders out front while you were responding to the guy saying evans is planning a move.

 

[spalco]

does he have to?

Well, technically we don't know the answer to that question before saturday at approximately 6pm CET...

 

[sublimit]

LOL I found this message on the forum a week a go reffering to Evans. Very clever.

"Big ring to rule them all, small ring to climb them, Big ring to give it all and win the final time trial"

Apparently only the yellow jersey gives special powers. Evans will have to have the right ring choice though yes.

And not fall off.

 

[Woody22]

Also am I the only one who thinks that Burghardt is one the domestiques who did the most work this tour? All the stuff he needed to do to keep Evans safe and at the front, while also being one of his last helpers in the mountains most of the time

Spot on. His work has been tremendous and if Evans doesn't win it won't be because of big Marcus.

 

[spalco]

I thought ES coverage would begin at 13.15 but they're showing yesterday's stage.

Yeah, I think they are going live at 13:30.

OMG Versus is doing another piece on chaingate. They do this like every day.

Are they saying that Schleck was stupid by not shifting correctly and that it was completely his own fault?

 

[Dedelou]

shall we make a bet then that evans won't attack?

he does not ride that way.. so yeah.. you have a safe bet here. But he could be in yellow tonight

 

[just some guy]

Delange etc 25 seconds on the front 16

 

[mickkk]

To think that I used to listen to short wave radio, then watch highlights 24 hours later, then watch a matchbox sized video that refreshed every 30 seconds and froze every 3 minutes, now live HDTV.

The Versus crew made their picks for today, and Bob called Andy AND I QUOTE...
"The Best Pure Climber and with a Great Sprint"

[Pharazon]

I am sure, it's not Phil, but Roll, who is suffering from dementia.

Doesn´t look good for your boy then

 

[bicing]

I propose an avatar bet between ACF and Ryo. If Evans makes an attack today, Ryo must take a Cadel avatar and if he doesn't ACF must take a Valverde avatar.

 

[Dedelou]

They have been blabbering and bad mouthing AC for a good 20 minutes already. I guess that works with their public.. Soon back to the mute button and on to Eurosport again.

Ouch.

I've never heard this Bob guy and probably thats a good thing. I'll have Harmon on with his usual annoying sound effects..

 

[mickkk]

Now only two groups with an 8.15 gap. No one alone.

 

[just some guy]

we have a break of 19

peloton @ 8.15

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

I propose an avatar bet between ACF and Ryo. If Evans makes an attack today, Ryo must take a Cadel avatar and if he doesn't ACF must take a Valverde avatar.

if he doesn't acf must take a rujano avatar, why valverde? I despise him almost as much as evans and andy

 

[franciep10]

do they really have to bring this up again this dead horse has been beaten
