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

Screw all the guys that have done nothing but follow Evans up the climb. It's a real shame that he's not putting time into every single one of them. They don't begin to deserve the same time.

I'm flying down to France right now so I can cut Rollin's head off at the finish. Doesn't he understand what his role is?

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Gap down to 3:14, but the chasers have yet to hit the hard part of the climb. They may just shatter when they get there.

Danielson about to be dropped.

 

[SarahDane]

If Andy, Cadel and Alberto have used their powers for tomorrow today/knee problems, we could see a Basso, Voeckler, Fränk podium.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Contador is gone from the chase group, I think.

 

[Grayguard]

Don't disrespect Contador for this... He made the previous two stages interesting. If he got nothing left to give today, he is only one of many.

 

[Ramira]

TV should start working. He's close to keeping the jersey.

Nah he shouldn't, making Evans blow himself up is ideal for him.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

Let's also not forget that their is a pretty tough stage tomorrow...

 

[TRDean]

cumego in there?

EDIT:Cunego...

 

[kjetilraknerud]

This was crap.

You are wrong, this is great riding from Andy on his way to a beatiful victory.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Evans hitting his limit? gap hovering around 3.15

 

[ManInFull]

He will win by 2.30 imo

The net gain for Andy is about 2:00 over Evans right now. Will it be larger than that by the end of the stage?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

No, sorry, that was Danielson.

 

[Bala Verde]

Voeckler should be working, same with basso.

Basso said he was not good.

 

[RdBiker]

Andy is hitting the steepest parts in a moment

 

[Jamsque]

Sanchez has lost 30 seconds already, he'll be a minute down by the finish at least.

Evans is running out of steam, I expect Frank and/or Alberto to ambush him soon.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I don't like Contador today. What is he doing.

 

[goggalor]

Nah he shouldn't, making Evans blow himself up is ideal for him.

Why though? Is he playing for the podium already? He's in the maillot jaune FFS.

 

[DamonAlbarn]

Voeckler should be working, same with basso.

Agree, actually I think he might one of the few riders who has a bit left.
They are all farked.

 

[meandmygitane]

Merckx approves!

 

[Maxiton]

Merckx encouraging Andy!

 

[auscyclefan94]

evans riding with true panache... if evans can keep it around 3 mins then he's stilll in it.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Imagine being Andy, with Merckx yelling at him like that!

Gap to 3:10. Again, Evans the only one doing work.

 

[spalco]

lol, I'd like to know what Merckx is telling Andy.

 

[khodder]

Little gap between Cunego and Contador appeared there, Bertie closed quickly however.
