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

[Parrulo]

I expect Contador to crack shortly.

tbh i expect the same

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Andy Schleck is going to win with 3'30 or something

 

[Finn84]

Didi Senft!

 

[meandmygitane]

I think that alberto may have expected this, thus the reason why he attacked the last 2 days on shorter climbs.

I think it's the Giro, my self. It is too hard doing both (well).

 

[thrawn]

Only three people deserve to win this race. Andy, Cadel and Voeckler.

Everyone else just following Cadel deserve nothing as I see it.

Yep, not sure why Voeckler hasn't had Rolland do anything though.

 

[auscyclefan94]

evans really struggling.

 

[Ramira]

Szmyd still there for Basso. Basso with a chance here (for a podium).

Szmyd has not been good enough this tour for that. Not to mention Basso himself has said he doesn't quite have the legs at the moment. No way he'll podium this tour.

 

[RdBiker]

Andy has 2K to the 9% part. When the Evans group reaches that there are gonna be people going backwards.

BTW Evans doesn't look very fresh to me

 

[Jamsque]

Samu doesn't look great, lacking that 3rd week GT form.

 

[the chicken from T]

i hate to say this but cadel and andy are the only ones who deserve to win the tour !

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Andy looks toasted now. Guess he will lose quite a bit of time towards the top.

 

[trevim]

Andy is very impressive today, but still cant understand how the peloton could give him so much time between the Izoard and Galibier

Precisely! I get that they wanted to let Andy toast alone but not riding the descent and the valley was just stupid from Evans and Sanchez when they had teammates.

Of course they were tired but they could have put someone to keep the pace a bit up at least.

Sanchez down now. Contador obviously not very good, but it's up to the others. He has won it a few times now and he has that Giro and knee stuff behind him....

 

[Ferminal]

Tommy D falling.

 

[Captain Awesome]

Wtf is Voeckler doing? Stupid riding...

 

[Wergeland]

no respect for anyone but evans and andy (maybe fränk too) in this tour after today. Pathetic riding by everyone else. Even voeckler.

+1000.......

 

[RdBiker]

evans really struggling.

He has to go to the head wind alone. Why the hull is he doing that :S There are other people in there too

 

[The Hitch]

Ok Samu dead.

Too much effort before.

 

[Bala Verde]

AS shows no signs of cracking. This win could enter into the top 5 of most epic TdF wins!!!

 

[khodder]

evans really struggling.

Higher gradients really hurting him...Basso should send Smyzd to the front, him on his wheel and he should be able to drop Evans (After all this work), Tommy V and maybe Contador.

 

[Arnout]

Sanchez didn't have the legs. Well, that explains.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

So much respect for Evans right now.

 

[Ramira]

Wtf is Voeckler doing? Stupid riding...

He's making Evans crack so that he will be able to take time on him in the end which he needs for the TT. He's riding brilliant tactically.

 

[sulgpallur]

i hate to say this but cadel and andy are the only ones who deserve to win the tour !

lol i would add Vockler, Contador also

 

[Jamsque]

Danielson and Taaramae starting to fall away now.

Andy pedaling squares but Cuddles is too.

 

[sportzchick]

He has to go to the head wind alone. Why the hull is he doing that :S There are other people in there too

They won't work....
