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

[Alpe d'Huez]

Another big pull for Cadel.

Not one single pull from TV. Not one.

 

[RdBiker]

Here comes Andy! Start your timers!

 

[Ney the Viking]

voigt to attack tomorrow and frank to follow? =D

 

[Maxiton]

TV just let Cadel save his jersey.

 

[AtletiSK]

big applause for Andy, this was a brave stuff!!! can win the whole thing, but we will see after tomorrow

 

[Ferminal]

****ing amazing stage. Long live the Tour.

 

[Ramira]

Seems the climb was around 500m to long for Andy he'll lose some time at the end. Not sure about him suffering tomorrow though, Evans pushed himself past his limit as well and he'll be Andy's only competition.

 

[Cerberus]

Frank will go soon. Voeckler should go. He might loose the yellow in Paris or a podium spot because he didn't work today. (idiot.)

Are you on crack? TV is riding way above his usual level just holding Cadels wheel. WHat on Earth makes you think he has extra energy to do pulls?

 

[kjetilraknerud]

It's still open, the gap between Andy and Cadel is within possible TT gain.

 

[therhodeo]

Andy making the same face I do climbing. Can't be a good sign.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

100m. Andy has finally cracked.

 

[spalco]

AS cracked

Just made it, measured his effort perfectly.

 

[patrick767]

Frank will go soon. Voeckler should go. He might loose the yellow in Paris or a podium spot because he didn't work today. (idiot.)

Voeckler has never before been a top tier climber. I don't know how he's kept up in this tour but I certainly wouldn't expect him to attack the best climbers in the world now. He's hanging on for dear life and that's what I expected.

 

[The Hitch]

Wpw Its going to be under 2 minutes.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

It's obvious that Rolland on the front wouldn't have made a difference, he and TV is way beyond their limit.

 

[RdBiker]

Has anyone noticed that Voeckler beat Contador on the Galibier

 

[therhodeo]

Tommy looks shot.

 

[Ferminal]

And there we have it, Evans drops his last outstanding GC rival.

 

[ericthesportsman6]

under 2 minutes. Evans is still really in this. CMON TOMMY

 

[RdBiker]

And Fränk goes for it!

 

[Jeanne]

Super gemacht Andy!!!

 

[Maxiton]

OK, I've just lost all respect for Schleck.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

TV cracks.

There goes Frank.

 

[The Hitch]

Evans just won the Tour.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Andy has close to a minute on evans.

This is gonna be so close.............
