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

[Ramira]

Contador gone, this tour is between Andy and Cadel.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Contador dropped. He is not good anymore

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Contador is gone!

But comes back, atleast for a second.
Voeckler will podium.

 

[Aristarchus]

Contador dropping!

 

[Cloxxki]

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

Until recently, so was his HC climbing. Right?

 

[Ferminal]

Bye Bye Bertie

 

[woodie]

Conti cracks!!!!!!

 

[kjetilraknerud]

I think we know why Contador didn'tnwork...

 

[ManInFull]

he doesn't has the legs. if he had them he would be working. it simply isn't his style to sit without doing nothing

I agree. We should know what kind of rider he is by now.

 

[The Hitch]

Contador cracked

 

[spalco]

The last km is difficult, I hope Andy calculated his energy well.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Contador cracks......and then returns..........then cracks again.

 

[khodder]

Bertie Dropped

 

[RdBiker]

Andy struggling now

It's 2K left on the hardest mountain stage of the Tour, I think he's suffering

 

[scullster46]

contador off the back...doesn't have it

 

[Alberto Attack]

Nooooooooooo

 

[ericthesportsman6]

About time, Contador gone

 

[therhodeo]

Huge props to Bertie for what he's done this year. No shame in being mortal.

 

[patrick767]

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.

By forcing them to expend too much energy covering his attack? Alright, I can buy that.

 

[Parrulo]

contador dropped

clearly he didn't have it. he would never let this happen if he had the legs

 

[thrawn]

Contador dropped?? Coming back now though.

 

[just some guy]

Contador drops

 

[lilyprotector]

bertie's getting dropped then riding back. he's struggling big time.

 

[Zoncolan]

Contador dropped! Not totally unexpected seeing he didn't attack.

 

[goggalor]

Contador done. And nothing of value was lost. (A bit harsh?)
