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

[ChopperArris]

I'm not being pro-Andy as a reaction to the anti-Andy sentiments here, I've liked Andy for years. I was a big fan of the old CSC team and really enjoyed his ride to 2nd in the Giro. His defection to Leopard and his moaning about descents have certainly irked me, but I don't have to agree with everything he says or does to think he is a talented rider who deserves some success.

This board LOVES to bag on riders. A few years ago it was all about slagging off Cadel Evans for everything he did, now the main target seems to be Andy.

Very well said that man, hear hear. I often wonder why I even come on here, then I find a post of yours and all is revealed.

My question is - how do you put up with all the nonsense?

 

[Publicus]

rain and cold on the galibier say the portuguese commentators.

they can't confirm it but they have been told that

And a headwind too?

And with Andy on the front, we have to assume Frank is their leader.

 

[Jamsque]

Jens! gone, Rojas gone.

Posthuma gone from the break.

 

[just some guy]

Joost smashed himself

 

[trevim]

O'Grady dropping Voigt. Now what, Cavendish comes back and drops everybody to win the stage?

 

[Sidbike]

wow, race radio reaches all the way to Kazakstan?

 

[Bromers]

Sherwan reffering to O'Grady as american- nice one paul

Thick skin and liberal use of the ignore feature.

Early attack from Andy

Getting to the steep sections of the Izoard.

 

[Tom T.]

Yes but they are blowing themselves up in the break and losing a lot of men.

I know, I was recounting some silly thing Jens said in a similar situation a few days ago.

The tour has truly started, lets see what Monfort (and possibly Posthuma) can do in the valley.
