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

Everybody except Andy riding for second...

 

[RdBiker]

I am starting to think not only will Andy stay out, but Contador may not have it. He may be cooked.

Actually you might be right. It might be that he doesn't have it after all. The Giro should have an affect.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Chapeau for Andy. I haven't been a fan, but today, he is riding like a champion.

 

[auscyclefan94]

monfort has ben in the break and he slipps back in easily. this is terrible!

 

[khodder]

On a tomorrow note. Are they going to descend down that cliff tomorrow. Epic.

 

[Jamsque]

I'm happy Andy is winning the tour bit I was hoping for some actual racing in the Alps. The peloton is losing more time now, you can see by the size of it that no-one is pushing hard.

Pathetic.

 

[Arnout]

he is obviously feeling it today. no need to lose respect for a cyclist because they have limitations.

I hope he loses time when Contador or Evans or whoever goes. Because otherwise I will stop being fanboy.

 

[Sidbike]

Monfort should not be able to hang onto this group...no way.

 

[Wergeland]

McEwen on twitter: "All those blokes but only a couple of sets of balls as far as i can tell"

 

[eztarget]

I can't wait to see how the Contador supporters and AS haters respond to this.

 

[goggalor]

Come on!!! I can't watch this bunch of idiots anymore.

 

[Apollonius]

he is obviously feeling it today. no need to lose respect for a cyclist because they have limitations.

Indeed. People forget how much time Sammy has had to make up in this tour already.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Contador attack you ****ing idiot!

he will wait until the last 8km I suspect.

When it gets steep he will go solo. Probably wont catch schleck tho.

 

[TimChristy]

Jeeezzz. I could attack the peleton with Huffy at this point

 

[Zoncolan]

I actually want Schleck to win now. What a bunch of gutless ****ers behind!

 

[Pantani_lives]

Oh won't you be, be my, be my baby... Be my little baby...

 

[TourOfSardinia]

2km before the real inclines start for AS

 

[RdBiker]

And now the steeper parts begin!

 

[DamonAlbarn]

In my humble opinion Contador hasn't got anything in the tank, and the leaders group as a whole look spent.

 

[auscyclefan94]

cadel just needs to ride...ffs. have the other given up?

 

[khodder]

Andy and Iglinsky...

Sanchez was off the back.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Name any Grand Tour, Giro, Tour of Vuelta, that has ever been raced and I can tell you exactly what happened in that edition. And I guarantee there has never. Ever. Ever. Been this level of tactical stupidty. Ever.

They just gave Schleck the Tour on a plate for absolutely no reason at all whatsoever.

It just makes zero sense.

Yes it does make sense in some ways.
They just don't want to work for their opponents. It doesn't help Evans or Schleck or Sanchez or Basso to do a lot of work agains a massivly strong Schleckt. Who moves might loose everything.

They should of course work together. But thats said esasily and done hard.

 

[max_powers]

Contador attack you ****ing idiot!

AC took himself out of the wind.

He'll wind it up soon

 

[Arnout]

Onwards. Vuelta with Anton.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Slowly approaching 4:30.

I don't think the chasers have it. I think they don't have it in their legs, and everyone is expecting someone else to pull. But they can't.
