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

[khodder]

Andy Drops Iglinsky.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

8km to go, 3:54.

I simply don't see them catching him. But they could bring it down to something manageable.

 

[Apollonius]

Come on Andy!!!!!! Fly!

 

[goggalor]

Why isn't Rolling riding if he's so fresh? If he's anywhere near Voeckler at the finish he's failed.

 

[Aristarchus]

Andy off on his own, now. Big props to him. He's close to winning it all.

 

[GroupDK]

go andy this stage your truely deserve--

 

[lilyprotector]

andy has balls of steel today. go andy go!!! take six!

 

[Zoncolan]

Gap stabilized. AS looking good.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Good to see Evans working hard! Gap coming down drastically now.

 

[The Hitch]

OMG andy is AWESOME!!!!!


Who will suffer the most because of the altitude?

 

[khodder]

Cadel looks like he is pushing a bigish gear.

 

[AtletiSK]

no way Evans can do this alone, he will lose a lot of time here and maybe the whole Tour

 

[Ramira]

It's Rolland. One of the 5 best climbers in this tour.

Indeed Rolland has been incredible this tour. Look for him to be a team leader and an easy top 10 rider (with an outside chance of a top 5) next year.

 

[Bala Verde]

Incredible how much time they allowed AS in the valley.

 

[ManInFull]

Evans is riding strongly here, every single other favourite is sucking wheels.

He has 1:18 on Schleck. Does Andy need 2:00 on Cadel to be safe for the ITT?. That would required a 3:18.

 

[goggalor]

Evans has taken 40 secs now. Two sets of balls on the course right now, heh.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

I guess Sammy and Contador were discussing how much they sucked.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Basso time - now or never Ivan.

 

[Maxiton]

Man, Evans pushes a huge gear.

 

[The Hitch]

8km to go, 3:54.

I simply don't see them catching him. But they could bring it down to something manageable.

Evans doesnt need to catch him. He needs to bring back a minute, then hes favourite for the time trial.

 

[scullster46]

thank god they didn't shorten this stage

 

[meandmygitane]

It's Rolland. One of the 5 best climbers in this tour.

Rolland was dropped on Izoard if don't rembember it wrong.
So yeah, it is a pretty bad sign

 

[Ramira]

no way Evans can do this alone, he will lose a lot of time here and maybe the whole Tour

If he pushes himself all the way he'll blow himself up and he might even end up losing time to Voeckler again.

 

[DamonAlbarn]

cadel setting up contadope's blistering attack.

That is uncalled for, now p iss off cheers

 

[Apollonius]

I loathe the spectators in the mountains. They get far too close. Got visions of Andy being pulled down :s
