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

I call lame on all the negative comment son the riders.
IMO they simply do not have it.

I think Voeckler has some left, but could he ride up faster than Evans? I doubt it.

 

[Jeanne]

Ive lost a lot of respect for TV today

why?!?

 

[The Hitch]

hah... Merckx loves a big attack, as do all of us from the looks of this thread.



Frank? No way. He'd pull people closer to his brother if he jumps.

If he attacks, then slows down, he can slow the group down. If they try to follow his wheel. If they let him go then its pointless.

 

[issoisso]

Evans deserves all the respect in the world for this

I agree, if Contador had the legs he would have gone by now I think.

*waits to see Contador attack the moment I post*

Don't know what everyone is talking about. Voelkler is still there. He's the leader. I'd be worried about him.

Maybe if you were worried about second...Voeckler is an awful TT'er

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

The Evans Express has a lot of passengers. He needs to start charging fares for this.

 

[thirteen]

hOW AS is not loosing more amazes me.

he's riding with heart, for once... he's always had it in the legs.

 

[khodder]

What is the time cut going to be at?

 

[AtletiSK]

Evans deserves all the respect in the world for this

ok, I agree, he is doing a great job, but some of you are hailing him like a god... but if he wants to win this is simply his duty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Parrulo]

andy won the tour today and he bloody deserved it

contador looks to be the next guy to get dropped

 

[Wergeland]

When was the last time TV rode all out in a TT?

 

[Zoncolan]

Basso should go NOW! Seems like the only one with the legs (maybe Frank too).

 

[Ferminal]

How long can Cadel keep this up?

He's riding a time trial, he will keep it going to the end, the others might attack him now but Evans will only be 2'40" to 3'20" down on Andy.

 

[auscyclefan94]

great ride by evans....why does tommy want to lose yellow?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

go go go andy

 

[Mellow Velo]

Andy will have 2 minutes over Cadel, come the finish.
The rest are dead in the water.
The bros both to podium, so it seems (Excluding a normal Frank ITT)

It's not easy to do your duty when you're surrounded by muppets.

 

[VeloCity]

Andy struggling now

 

[RdBiker]

He's riding a time trial, he will keep it going to the end, the others might attack him now but Evans will only be 2'40" to 3'20" down on Andy.

Which means 1.30-2.00 in the GC

 

[kurtinsc]

Evans needs to take 30-40 more seconds to really have a shot (or finish at this distance and take 30-40 seconds tomorrow).

If the gap before the ITT is 1'15", he could possibly get that back. Finishing 2'30" back today would make the gap right at 1'15".

 

[Maxiton]

Yep, courageous riding from Australia's great champion. Voeckler, though, using him as domestique.

 

[khodder]

3:05 at 2KM

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

If anyone attacked Evans now it would be in very poor taste.

 

[Ney the Viking]

Conti pops!!
