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

meh, any will get brought back. Should of sent out on the attack!

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Fair play to Andy for trying. It's a genuine all or nothing situation though.

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Funny thing is that when Andy went, nobody reacted. Contador stretches his legs and everyone immediately reacts. Guess it is clear who is considered important there.

 

[Tom T.]

Contador's playing it cool and not panicking. They'll pull AS back on the descent and he'll be useless for the final climb.

Brave or Stupid - amazing how it's not always obvious which it is!

 

[therhodeo]

Andy attcking to burn out Navarro? setting it up for Frank later on? nice idea...

What about the other 14 helpers Bertie has in the peloton?

 

[GroupDK]

navarro dropped - not good for contador

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

What the **** is Gesink doing? Playing helper for Evans?

 

[Ferminal]

De Weert not there?

 

[Jamsque]

Contador is drifting to the back of the group.

 

[khodder]

Bookwalter back from the Break, Burghart still up front. Evans has men.

 

[woodie]

Contador sitting a bit far back maybe?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Cadel needs to go solo! Contador is cracking!

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Btw., this explains why the Leopards had to go fast in the escapre group, he'll need 1 or 2 riders on the decent.

 

[Maxiton]

Brave or Stupid - amazing how it's not always obvious which it is!

Exactly. Too bad he didn't do that when it mattered.

 

[slim charles]

well, andy is not my favorite rider either, but he has proven that he has courage.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

BMC and Liquigas now

 

[issoisso]

Cadel needs to go solo! Contador is cracking!

Learn to read body language. Contador is pedalling easy. Easier than Evans for example

 

[meandmygitane]

Is Contador isolated?!??

 

[lilyprotector]

oh let andy get to his teammates. ride andy ride!

 

[khodder]

Schlecklet with a minute now.

 

[The Hitch]

Andy has a minute.

Go on my son.

Go on.

 

[pfinn10]

Bookwalter back from the Break, Burghart still up front. Evans has men.

pretty sure burghart has already dropped back out the peleton

 

[Jamsque]

Cadel needs to go solo! Contador is cracking!

Cadel needs to stay cool. He has a team-mate, he should wait for the final climb and then try to work with Basso/Sanchez to break Contador and ride back Andy.

 

[Ferminal]

It's SZMYD time.
