[Apollonius]

Conti changing to the doped bike

 

[Wergeland]

Mechanical or just a tactical bikeswitch like in the giro?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

AC wouldn't do that if he a wasn't confident!

 

[MartinGT]

Bertie didnt look well when he got off the bike then, looked heavy on his knee!

 

[Mellow Velo]

I'm not a part of the the let's Lynch Cadel mob

OPINIONS OMG!!!

Please, stay on topic, which is the excitement of this unusual stage.
Otherwise stfu. Nobody is criticizing Cadel.

Uran back to the main bunch and Bertie has had his "Etna" bike change.
Look out!

Big Carrot drafting Bertie

Contador obviously asked for EE's car to drag him back.

 

[meandmygitane]

Euskatel-car pacing Conti

 

[RdBiker]

Ah the motorbike from Saxo Bank is getting pulled out, the special weapon of Bertie

Nice one

 

[Sidbike]

EE car.....not cool

 

[mr. tibbs]

Everyone shut up about Evans.

Why is Contador chasing alone?!

 

[Anonymous]

Euskaltel car leading Contador....dang, the Spanish Armada

 

[Kwibus]

All the forum is slamming Cadel Evens....I'm just balancing things up

Deal with it!

Not the whole forum is slamming him. There are actually quite a few people liking him over here. I like him, but I´m not blind like you.

haha, it's funny how blatant the Sanchez-Contador alliance is.

 

[woodie]

I'm really against changing bikes for the sake of it. Unless there is a mechanical they should have to stay on the same bike.

Looks like a tactical change like the Giro.

But the problem is that you cant, it will just ruin the thread for any others who are reading it.

They only one there can make any difference is Evans and they way he rides..

Was that about gearing or what?

 

[ak-zaaf]

Why would they hide it?
It's completely normal.

Agreed. You couldn't eliminate the shennanigans but you'd cut it down.

Samu is just getting offered a summer home in Pinto.

Samu just finished building his new house before the Tour

 

[Ney the Viking]

andy offering Lay-Oh-Tard contracts to the people in the group if they will pull

 

[lilyprotector]

how's andy doing? how much does monfort have? how's he looking?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Euskaltel car leading Contador....dang, the Spanish Armada

He and Samu have had their nice little chat.
The more I think about it, the more I think that Andy may be falling on his sword for Frank.

 

[RdBiker]

Can anyone see if the others are helping Monfort and A.Schleck?
