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

[Sidbike]

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

The result will tell us.

 

[auscyclefan94]

****, Andy could winthe tour by doing this!

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Amazing BMC power keeping the peloton riding slower than the breakaway, let alone Andy.

 

[HL2037]

Saxo lets BMC and Liquigas do the work

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Cadel needs to go solo! Contador is cracking!

He went for a chat with Samu...

 

[Ramira]

I wonder how long till some real guys are going to chase Andy, lets be honest Andy doesn't exactly need to use much energy to take time on Bookwalter, and Monfort will blow himself up in the valley to save his energy.

Cadel needs to go solo! Contador is cracking!

Good thing you're not the BMC director sportif! Cadel only needs to play it cool and not panic. Going solo now would be panicking.

Gesink Joined the ACF mafia?

 

[Arnout]

Izagirre to (try to) close the gap in the downhill.

 

[jobiwan]

Go Andy!!!!!!

Frank's in a fantastic position!

 

[Ferminal]

Andy should be over the top around the same time as Monfort

 

[Parrulo]

schleck breathing easy and going fast

 

[Ramira]

It's SZMYD time.

Szmyd is not himself, if he goes up front that's great news for Andy as he won't set a good pace.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Andy is so skinny!

 

[Jamsque]

Evans can probably afford to give Andy two minutes today as long as he doesn't let him get away tomorrow. Still, better to pull him back and not take the risk.

 

[woodie]

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

Evans actually looks super smooth compared to previous years, I don't think he is in trouble

 

[mickkk]

Long way to go, Evans just has to catch up on the downhill, I expect Shrek is 2nd on the road atm.

 

[khodder]

Szmyd is not himself, if he goes up front that's great news for Andy as he won't set a good pace.

Looking OK sitting 2nd wheel.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Only Andy has guts today, I got to give him that much

 

[Sidbike]

Sanchez babysitting Contador

 

[phanatic]

Isn't this what Andy practiced at TdS? We'll see.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

Sanchez and Contador a ways back in the group.

 

[auscyclefan94]

AS is getting big time!
